Ep 89: Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith doesn’t share stems

Shownotes

This time, our guest this time is Kailtlyn Aurelia Smith, and electronic musician, composer, performer, and producer whose serendipitous run in with a Buchla 100 completely changed how she approached making music. She’s worked with synthesizer pioneer Suzanne Ciani and film composer Emile Mosseri, and on her new album she explores darker, more club-friendly styles than ever before.

In this episode, learn more about how her first experiments with a Buchla taught her patience for “irritating” sounds, how her synaesthesia turns sounds into bodily sensations, and the ways that this affects her production. As always, expect Forever Studio rules to be bent, but never broken.

Season 8 of the My Forever Studio Podcast is supported by Audient, and the impressive new Horizon range of audio interfaces.
