Lori Napoleon is a Brooklyn-based musician and DJ who performs under the name Antenes. Napoleon has built multiple sequencers—electronic devices that can save and play back musical notes in a desired order—and looping devices out of the old technology she’d found in basements and museums around the US. The switchboards and other devices she’s harvested were used between the 1920s and 1960s. Her constructions have also affected the way she creates music, she said: “I really love techno [music], and a lot of the tracks have these sounds, these wiggles throughout the tracks, that are percussive. A lot of sequenced music.”
