Amanda Costner is a comedic musician who hails from the South and bases out of the Twin Cities. Amanda has performed at Second City, Brave New Workshop, Looney Bin Comedy Club and bars & theaters throughout the midwest. Her comedy songs range from acoustic pop ballads about being a gay preacher’s daughter, to soul-comedy pieces on the pitfalls of relationships. Using stand-up between songs, audiences get to know what it’s like to be a lesbian in love with a neurologist and have people question whether she knows what a neurologist even is. Recently Amanda released an EP,  LGBT Redneck, a collection of 4 songs and an audio sketch illustrating her bumbling foray into the world of women.

Let it go!

Get it done over a weekend.   From first idea to final product.  That's not why they sux's, but it doesn't help. 

I've kind of got this weird feeling that the post-apocalypse is going to be a little bit shit.

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
