Rrose
Rrose makes enigmatic music that hits a sweet spot between techno and avant-garde composition, blurring gender identity and making work that feels like you’re listening to a living, tactile organism. New album, Please Touch is the latest stop over a long journey that began under a different pseudonym in the club scenes of 1990s California, involved at one point leaving the dancefloor behind for years to study composition at the prestigious Mills College (whose alumni and teachers have included Pauline Oliveros and Steve Reich) before rebirthing as Rrose. They talk with Paul about the sexual energy of dance music, the power of creating a persona and their creative story.
