Based on the premise of deliberate alignment of atoms used to control digital synapsis, Amorphous Allotropes bases its process on Carbon; the key component to all life known on Earth, to propose a new musical instrument for sonic interactions.
‘When carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms bond in a certain way to form sugar, the resulting compound has a sweet taste. The sweetness resides neither in the C, nor in the O, nor in the H; it resides in the pattern that emerges from their interaction. It is an emergent property. Moreover, strictly speaking, is not a property of the chemical bonds. It is a sensory experience that arises when sugar molecules interact with the chemistry of our taste buds, which in turn causes a set of neurons to fire in a certain way. The experience of sweetness emerges from that neural activity”

Through controlled artificial crystallisation on prepared structures adapted to enable connection between the crystals and the physical interface for signal processing, from analog to digital; then applying this data, through a custom built software to control and result into sound and its adherent properties.
