Betty's Notebook
A layered, composable NFT that puts you in the shoes of 15-year-old Betty Klenck — tuning a short wave radio, trying to hear Amelia Earhart's distress calls through jazz music and static interference.
Uncover the Mystery
Betty's Notebook is a controversial piece of evidence in the Amelia Earhart mystery. Recorded by 15-year-old Betty Klenck in 1937, the document continues the mystery of what really happened to Amelia Earhart as she was taken off her flight path.
The musical adaptation by Nicholas Reeves puts audiences in Betty's shoes: as if listeners turn a tuning knob on a short wave radio trying to hear Amelia Earhart's distress calls that are frequently obstructed by various radio interferences.
The dynamic nature of Betty's Notebook allows audiences to uncover chilling distress signals and key clues by toggling variants within different stems. The ever evolving music creates a holistic picture of the eternal mystery of Amelia Earhart.
