rousay’s music has received acclaim from NPR, which writes that rousay “enchants the ordinary,” and Pitchfork, which calls her music “quietly devastating.” rousay has presented music at venues like Issue Project Room, Casa Del Lago (CDMX) and Salon De Normandy (Paris), among many others, held residencies at Rhizome DC and Elastic Arts Exposure Series, and performed with musicians such as Ken Vandermark, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Jacob Wick and Tom Carter.

Primitive Tongues is an experimental singer, songwriter, and improvised artist. She creates worlds through her hyper imaginative heart space and offers the world the way she lives in this reality. She sees her sound art as an extension of her dance practice and doesn’t see much of a difference between the two. Primitive Tongues creates for those who cannot and reaches beyond the human consciousness. She is beyond life and time itself.
