Claire Rousay, Gretchen Korsmo - quilted lament (2025) [Hi-Res]

"Quilted lament" is a collaborative work by sound artists Claire Rousay and Gretchen Korsmo, released on the Mappa Editions label. Created remotely through exchanging audio files, the record weaves together snippets of memories and everyday sounds. You can hear “polaroid melodies,” street noises, tender household rustlings—like private inspirations bleeding through walls. The music unfolds into a warm, embracing mini‑symphony of emotional abstraction, merging the artists’ sonic signatures into a cohesive, intuitive soundscape.
