about

"Among the tiny pieces of this tangential pattern, motifs emerge, like a scrunching of heavy paper (lately, I keep ripping the pages of my diary right out) and a single booming drum hit honestly and repetitively as a kind of call to arms, ominous, for an impending doom, perhaps, and what is built using those bits post-destruction. The glass, a window, a mirror, by design. Descriptions that reject prescriptive understandings. Working towards solutions, not even methodically, but hypothetically and completely. Sounds of an involuntary faith, which is what faith is." - cookcook, Tiny Mix Tapes

Artist Statement - claire rousay

I am an improviser and percussionist. I use physical objects and their potential sounds as a way to explore queerness, human physicality, and self perception. As a queer and transgender person, I am constantly aware of my physical state. Whether this is anatomic or geographic, it plays a massive role in how I view myself and interact with those around me. This awareness constantly shifts my self perception which then informs those same surroundings in a new way. This happens constantly and endlessly. I am interested in creative improvisation because of the ability to create works using it that have this ever-evolving quality that is similar to my emotional and physical experiences.
