Botanique"You could call it sound art, but it’s viscerally vulnerable"
Some artists only need a recorder and a computer to create their musical works. This is the case with claire rousay, who learned to create with what was around her: using vocal messages, sounds from her direct surroundings or recordings of dialogs, the Texan artist creates sound assemblages full of emotion and meaning.
Through numerous recordings she has been releasing since 2020, culminating with « everything perfect is already here » that came out in 2022 on Shelter Press, claire conveys the aesthetic banality of the world in which she lives and to which anyone can relate.
NYKOLAES ET DANIËL PAUL
nykolaes and Daniël Paul are two artists based in Brussels. Next to being collaborative artists they are roommates. They bring soft-spoken songs that combine guitar and electronic elements with an honest vocal performance, sometimes autotune, sometimes out of tune. A motivating force within this is the scatter-brained pace of the internet, with its twitching and breathing impulses which make you long for a simpler past far gone. As such these songs are ‘neofolk’, they have repurposed something authentic and visceral into something that shimmers and glitters anew.
Expect weird pop, upside-down folk, emotional texts in Dutch and English. Someone on a guitar crying. Lambs on a screen. Grass underneath your feet. Sun in your eyes. Somewhere in between Meat Puppets and Meat Computer.
STINE SAMPERS
stine sampers' practice consists mainly of reading, writing, photography and performance arts. After having studied theatre and performance at KASK Ghent, she worked as a performer and visual artist, started writing more often and figuring out ways to share those words in video, radio and performance work. They have published a photobook (Under the City Lies a Sea) with A.P.E. in 2014 and a book of poems (keeps crashing down the same period in my text between the paragraphs and i forgot about the crush) with Risiko Press in 2020.
Lately she's been busy with a monthly radio show called (long arms)(continued) at We Are Various and working towards their solo exhibition in Gifhorn (DE) during summer 2024. stine's texts resemble love letters with dyslexia, pages from a secret diary, tumblr entries in 2010 and a never ending urge to try and comprehend the world we live in.
