Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is readying her new LP The Mosaic of Transformation for release on May 15th via Ghostly International. The West Coast composer, artist, and producer known for her modular work on the Buchla tersely explains her upcoming effort this way: “I guess in one sentence, this album is my expression of love and appreciation for electricity.”
During the creation of The Mosaic of Transformation, the musician embraced a daily practice involving improvisational movement. Inspired by the term “a visual language,” introduced to her by filmmaker Sean Hellfritsch, she experienced the practice “as a reference for how frequencies can be visualized.” Extending her efforts to the music she was making, the artist explains:
“My movement practice has been a constant transformation piece by piece. I made this album in the same way. Every day I would transform what I did yesterday…into something else. This album has gone through about 12 different versions of itself.”
