Inspired by trauma, ecstasy, and Oakland’s decaying industrial landscapes, Amusement Machine creates haunting, vocal-led club tracks to reflect on—and heal from—an unforgiving world. Polyphonic synths, throbbing bass lines, and MS-20 filters in overdrive are her salve in her premier LP, Manipulations. Body is humbled to welcome Amusement Machine who had a very unique start with her self-released 'Emulator" EP which caught the label's attention by this obscure coldwave vibes. For this album she developed a techno mist that subtly pounds with spectral drones, percs, and vocals into a pitch dark space and at the same time, into a heavy emotional confinement.
