Amanda Cole is a Sydney based composer and sound designer, who writes microtonal instrumental and electronic music. She has a BMus (Honours Class 1) and PhD in composition from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Amanda creates microtonal audio-visual installations with Max/MSP and uses Csound to compose microtonal music.
She has written four percussion trios for a purpose built Microtonal Glass Harmonica, a microtonal string quartet for string harmonics and sine tones and has made an audio-visual installation that maps pitch to hue. In 2008, Amanda collaborated with artists Jo Cuzzi and Patsy Black to create THE ELASTIC BAND, and interactive sound installation which was exhibited at Firstdraft Gallery in June.
"Cole's Cirrus was fascinating as it alternated between clouds of harmonics and more rhythmic episodes." Sydney Morning Herald.

The phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intensities of those sounds depend on the characteristics of the RF energy as delivered... Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person..s head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using ..speech modulated.. microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up these sounds
