Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is an American composer, performer and producer, originally from the Pacific Northwest[1] and currently based in Los Angeles.

[5] Having originally intended to use her voice as her primary instrument,[4] and then moving to classical guitar and piano, Smith switched to the use of synthesizer after being lent and experimenting with the Buchla 100 for a year,[3] explaining, "I got so distracted and enamored with the process of making sounds with [the Buchla's] that I abandoned the next Ever Isles album.

[6] Smith contributed sound design work to the music video for Panda Bear's "Boys Latin" in 2014.

In 2016, she received acclaim for her 2016 album Ears and collaborated with synthesizer-based composer Suzanne Ciani on a RVNG Intl.

"[9] She has stated that "I try and blend in as many different tones / timbres as possible […] I like to imagine what that sound would feel like if I were to touch it and vice versa.
