Antenes

Brooklyn-based techno artist crafting modular soundscapes from repurposed vintage telephone switchboards.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, Antenes is an electronic artist, producer, and modular synthesizer builder known for her deep integration of custom hardware into techno and experimental music. She gained recognition for repurposing vintage telephone switchboards into functional modular synthesizers, a practice that informs her signature sound of metallic textures, acid-laced rhythms, and evolving, atmospheric soundscapes. Her discography includes the 2015 debut EP The Track of a Storm on L.I.E.S. and the 2017 ambient-leaning release Shifting Zones on Silent Season. She has performed at global institutions and festivals such as Tresor in Berlin, De School in Amsterdam, and Moogfest, often bridging the gap between avant-garde sound design and warehouse techno. By treating the studio as a laboratory for sculpting emergent patterns, she creates music that feels both mechanically precise and deeply human. Her work stands out for its unique synthesis of telecommunications history and club-ready propulsion, establishing her as a singular voice in contemporary electronic music.
