claire rousay (US/CA) + Lisa Lerkenfeldt/

Saturday 18 July
The Substation Main Space, from 7pm

PRESENTED BY THE SUBSTATION AND ROOM40

claire rousay's world is one of irregular, overlooked and intimate beauty. Over the course of her ever growing array of recordings she has managed to chart out a terrain that remains utterly personal, but wholly communal in its appeal. Her music, which simultaneously holds the textures of ambient, the reflections of folks, the melodics of hyper pop and the energetic flurries of noise, exists in its own universe. It is a cosmos she has created with the simplest and most generous of offerings. Observations of the quotidian world, refocused and reshaped, to create deeply engaging sound fields where song form and acoustic zones meet. rousay’s world is one in which we are welcomed without reservation and embraced without constraint. Her songs are places, her sound worlds environments, and she invites you to join her there.

rousay is joined by Lisa Lerkenfeldt, whose endless piano and tape loop variations dissolve time through collages of decayed ambience, analogue manipulation and cyclic structure.

Early birds sold out, tickets selling fast! Book now through the link in bio.
