Claire Rousay performing at the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum in Boston

... that Claire Rousay's (pictured) music has been described as "emo ambient"? Source: The “emo ambient” tag seems to have stuck for the music of emergent San Antonio artist Claire Rousay
- ALT1: ... that Claire Rousay (pictured) creates music using everyday sounds she records on her Zoom H5 Handy Recorder? Source: One spring evening, the San Antonio-based experimental musician Claire Rousay was in the driver’s seat of her parked car, smoking cigarettes and sipping a well-concealed beverage, when she picked up the Zoom H5 field recorder that is never far from her reach. “I track my whole day every day,” Rousay says. “If I’m home, I’ll have a pair of stereo microphones in my living room, and a field recorder in my bedroom. I’ll probably have 18 hours of field recordings … I basically record my whole life.” She turns these found sounds into musique concrète that locates grains of emotion in the mundane

Moved to mainspace by Bait30 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:31, 11 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Claire Rousay; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Review: New enough (moved to mainspace from draft); long enough (1808 char, which is a bit on the short side considering the sources in the article. Much more can be added); well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free (Earwig returns false positives for song and album titles); ALT0 and ALT1 hooks are both cited to the NYT and are interesting.[1] QPQ complete. I recommend trimming the image caption down to just "Claire Rousay performing". Comment: I'm really happy to see a new generation carrying on the tradition of musique concrète.
