Claire Rousay is an experimental ambient music artist living in San Antonio, Texas. Her captivating new release is called 'a softer focus' and we discuss the process and production of this impressive recording, her most poignant work to date. We delve into Claire’s identity as a queer woman and the exploration of relationships and self-perception within her immersive and beautifully strange music that creates a mindful, otherworldly and intimate experience for listeners.

We also talk a lot about family, gender identification, and power dynamics in society and relationships. If you want to simply hear about 'a softer focus' skip halfway through this episode. If you realllllly want to get to know Claire Rousay, hang around for the whole episode (suggested). Enjoy!
