DJ SENTIENT

What is “Sentient” and Its Connection to Electronic Music. The term sentient refers to the ability to perceive or feel things essentially, the state of being conscious and aware. It derives from the Latin word sentientem, which means “feeling.” In philosophy, it often relates to beings capable of experiencing sensations or emotions, making it deeply tied to the essence of human and even non-human experience. In the context of electronic music, sentient can evoke the idea of imbuing artificial systems, such as synthesizers, software, or algorithms, with an emotional or “alive” quality. While electronic music is often associated with technology and machines, its goal is to create emotional resonance and connect with listeners on a profound, sometimes visceral level.
