Samantha Simmons (B. 1986, Maryland, USA) 

is a New York-based sound installation artist and selector, having developed her practice in Berlin and Los Angeles. Coming from a painting and drawing background, she explores sound through a visual lens of shape, line, color, and texture. When she works with sound, she has a specific idea of how the soundscape could create an aesthetic

 

Samantha researches the constant flux of processing our collective sound environment; sound is recycled and re-consumed to shape the listening experience in a process she calls a recycled listening. Her work spans Experimental, Ambient, Drone, Musique Concrète, Electro, Breaks, and Chopped & Screwed. She has performed internationally while contributing to platforms including NTS, Dublab, WFMU, Red Light Radio, Kiosk Radio, and The Lot Radio. She holds an MA in Sonic Arts from Universität der Künste (UdK), Berlin.
