DarkPlankton Amanda is a polyvalent artist passionate about creative expression through the arts, but holds a special fondness for music and visual arts. After exploring several mediums of expression, she found electronic music and saw it as a natural direction to flow into.
In 2009, she taught herself how to produce electronic music with her computer. In 2010, the PLANKTON project was born. This was the beginning of a passionate psychedelic journey which is still gaining momentum exponentially to this day. Her influences mostly come from Trip-Hop, Drum’n’Bass, Dub, Dark Techno, Mental Tribe, Breakcore and many others, from the slowest to the fastest genres. Plankton also has an unconditional love for classical instruments, especially violin, cello and piano due to their wide range of expressiveness. Her eclecticism made her fall in love with psychedelic music due to the variety of sounds, and the deep and personal nature of a persons relationship with their own music and being able to share that with people is something that keeps her motivated.
Plankton project is a large variety of dark sounds that are designed to play with your standards through using unconventional arrangements and percussive elements over precise and massive sound designs all so potent with mood as silky cavernous pads set the tone. Plankton is always creating with the intent of pushing the limits further of what can be done or created or experienced. She is known for exploring new horizons and giving to the music a personal touch with deep feeling. There’s no rules or determined genres, this is a personal story shared from the beginning to the end.
The term plankton comes from the Greek derivative planktos, meaning wandering. These organisms spend a part of their life in a driving state with no ability to swim against a current, they just move with the flow, as her music. She’s also behind two solo side projects, the first is Zatira (triphop, experimental beats) and the second is Disharmonic (tribe, mental music).
