You’ll Know When You’ve Arrived.

How do we feel sound — not just hear it, but really feel it? That’s what I’ve been chasing. Electronic music isn’t just machines making noise. It’s memory and emotion, filtered through wires. It’s rhythm pulled from history — shaped by bodies, by cities, by resistance. I’m drawn to bass because it doesn’t wait for permission. It moves through your chest before your brain can name it. That’s where I think something primal lives.

Amanda

My name is Amanda, short for The Amazing Amanda. I sit somewhere between a creative technologist and a science communicator. I believe that electronic music will reconnect us to nature and that poetic computation will save the world. Expect a lot of my work to be blue. Did you know it is the one color that does not belong to the natural world? I do find that I am in my element when I am a little bit out of this world...

You’ll Know When You’ve Arrived.

This project started with the question: Can sensation be presented as something already present, waiting — rather than something to be invented or interpreted? What is it? Where does it live? How do we recognize it?
