Artist

Antenes

Musician, instrument builder, and DJ, Antenes (L.I.E.S., Silent Season, The Bunker New York) resides in New York with her collection of self-made sequencers and synthesizers using vintage telecommunications equipment. She draws musical influence from the curious and ephemeral sound world of outdated telephone and telegraph networking systems, finding atmospheric and mechanical aberrations inherent in the materials and various forms of synthesis. Her productions and DJ sets integrate sounds reminiscent of pulsing analog relay switching systems, errant radio transmissions, cross-continental echo, signature drones, and message interferences between wires, weaving between organically unfolding rhythms, ambiguously shifting textural elements, and droning resonances.
