Claire Rousay is a San Antonio-based musician whose artistry and melodic music are transcendent. She’s a percussionist, but her experimental style lends to a lush sound that is imaginative beyond the limits of what you might dream. Her just-released album, a softer focus, demonstrates this. The project is a collaborative, multi-layered one, with visual artist dani toral creating the album’s floral artwork and meditative visual narrative. We’re ecstatic to enter Claire’s world and to have her share her musical inspirations.
