claire rousay + Lucy Railton +  Harry Górski-Brown & Wojciech Rusin at St George's Bristol
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Canadian-American experimentalist claire rousay shapes extended soundscapes from field recordings, found sounds, and ethereal autotuned vocals, mining deep emotion from minimal materials. With stunning support from Lucy Railton’s unsettling electronic-flecked cello carvings, this is sonic cartography FFO: Laurel Halo, Kali Malone, KMRU, Tim Hecker."

A gig held at St George's Bristol on Saturday 25th April. The event starts at 16:45.


A prolific multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer, claire rousay gracefully crafts boundary-less music and brings a singular reflexivity, unflinching honesty and adroit humour to the performance space. At this show the LA-based artist will perform work from acclaimed recent album a little death with a bespoke ensemble of Bristol players.

Musician and composer Lucy Railton’s Blue Veil invites listeners into the realm of precision-tuned states of resonance: made manifest through Railton’s careful traversal of her cello’s most subtle acoustic characteristics, opening a space for immediate encounters of mind and sound.

Drift is a collaboration between Scottish composer and bagpiper Harry Górski-Brown and Polish audiovisual artist and instrument designer Wojciech Rusin, born of a shared interest in speculative relationships between traditional and contemporary drone music. They’ll be joined on stage by the Phaedra Ensemble.

Entry requirements: 14+
