Steven R. Smith is an American musician, instrument-builder, and printmaker often associated with the Jewelled Antler collective.
Born in Fullerton, California and based in San Francisco and, more recently, Los Angeles, he has been musically active since the mid-1990s.
[1] Smith’s music tends to range from dense, orchestrated pieces to sparse solo excursions on electric guitar and is improvised as often as composed.
Some of his records feature elaborate packaging, woodcut and linocut prints, and handmade chapbooks.
Smith occasionally appeared live with Mirza and Thuja, but he remains an elusive solo performer.
