How can something immaterial emerge from something material?

By immaterial experience or phenomenon in this case I mean qualia

"Examples of qualia include the perceived sensation of pain of a headache, the taste of wine, as well as the redness of an evening sky" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia

You can tell me the hue of the sky, the brightness, etc, but that's completely different from your actual perceived experience of the sky, which is what consciousness is

Another quote: "what it is like to taste a specific apple, this particular apple now"
