Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s Amazing Modular Orchestra

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has become one of the most fascinating champions of modular synthesis in recent memory…her explorations in synthesis reach an apex on her stunning new album EARS, out April 1 on Western Vinyl, blending woodwind and her own vocals with the primordial sounds of the Buchla to make her most definitive statement yet.

She showed us the different synthesizer voices used to create her modular symphonies before churning them together in a spontaneous improvisation.
