Sound and video artist Jonathan Jindra, tech artist Bradley Muñoz and musician Zárate Zaaló combined their talents with a kaleidoscopic video projection that morphed as Gregory sang. Even her prismatic hair changed colors, in keeping with her vocal frequencies. For her chanting and serenading, Gregory wore a 10-foot high metal dress, sculpted by artist Patrick Renner.- CultureMap

The Knells- award-winning neo chamber art rock group- 2013
The Knells are an art rock ensemble from Brooklyn, NY led by composer and guitarist Andrew McKenna Lee. Drawing inspiration from over 1000 years of western classical music and deftly fusing it with the worlds of progressive, psychedelic, and experimental rock.
"[The Knells'] lyrics ponder cosmic conditions and cycles — time, space, dissolution, regeneration — and they are sung by three women, often in cascading counterpoint that can invoke Renaissance polyphony or Minimalism. The songs aren't verse-chorus-verse; they sweep ahead, through passages of tolling solo electric guitar, of elegiac vocal melodies and harmonies, of note-bending quasi-Indian strings and guitar, of progressive-rock processionals. The classical training and female harmonies can make the Knells similar to Dirty Projectors, but this band looks toward Europe and tone poems rather than Africa and pop. Instead of hooks there are sustained dramatic arcs, meticulous and serpentine."
Exciting “Best overlooked Album of 2013” article in the New Yorker
New York Times review:

Textura- #9 Album of 2013:
Call of the Ouroboros was a multidisciplinary elaboration of the Knells at the Houston Fringe Festival, in which Amanda Gregory, sculptural artist Patrick Renner, and video artist Jonathan Jindra worked collaboratively to performThe Knell’s in a theatrically-engaging performance-installation. Gregory employs her powerful vocals as middle voice in the luscious three-part sonic experience of lucid dream-like states.

I will need additional gear to perform

My equipment is a self contained system. I would just need stereo speakers that can connect to my audio interface (I will bring two 1/4 inch cables) and a power source on stage to plug in my extension cable.

Shane Thunder invited me to apply for this, and hoping it works out.

I will be flying from California so funding would be helpful for covering the cost of transporting my equipment and bringing it to the festival if possible. Feel free to reach out via text at 310-460-8366.

I mostly do sound healing type of performances, however I have improvised with Bob Moses and other electronic music DJ's using my voice-generated binaural frequency effects. I would be open to performing with a DJ. Also for Shane Thunder, he has invited me to collaborate on his set Monday before the Eclipse. Friends of mine who will be at the festival and will be speaking include Rick Doblin, Bruce Damer, Lucian Tarnowski, Android Jones, Jamie Wheal, Tatiana Tarnowski, Amanda Sage, Amanda Ravenhill, and my twin brother Scott Gregory. If possible, I would love to introduce them to this organization and to possibly have information on how to invite them to participate in the gamified events for Invisible intersection and to potentially attend a sound experience. Thank you for considering me as a sound healing facilitator for your event. Looking forward to meet everyone. 🙂
