Smith, Kaitlyn Aurelia - The Kid
SKU
37-WV170 CD
"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith composes bright, fluid soundscapes on a variety of synthesizers, most notably the Buchla Music Easel. Excited by the endless possibilities of electronic instruments, her music is filled with vivid, expressive melodies along with her warped, ethereal vocals. Smith grew up on the serene, peaceful Orcas Island in northwest Washington, and attended the Berklee College of Music in order to study composition and sound engineering. She started out as a vocalist before taking up classical guitar and piano, and formed an indie folk project called Ever Isles. After moving back to Orcas Island, she became obsessed with creating electronic music after a neighbor lent her a Buchla 100 synthesizer, and began recording calm ambient soundscapes inspired by nature.
The Kid, released in October, 2017, is Smith's most accessible album yet, which featured acoustic instrumentation by the Berlin-based ensemble Stargaze."-AllMusic
