Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is an American composer, performer, and producer whose work is a mesmeric articulation of synthesized sound and organic emotion, creating a sonic universe that dances between avant-garde intonations and lush, ambient pop. Born and raised on Orcas Island in the northwest region of Washington State, Smith's relationship with sound was first nurtured by the natural surroundings of her upbringing. She attended the Berklee College of Music to study composition and sound engineering, initially focusing on vocal performance and classical guitar before turning towards the infinite possibilities of electronic music.

Smith's discography is a testament to her evolving craft, where her mastery of the Buchla 100 series modular synthesizer marks her work with a distinct texture and an exploratory spirit that is both introspective and ecstatic. Since her debut album, 'Euclid' in 2015, she has steadily garnered attention for her unique blend of buoyant melodies and intricate soundscapes. Her impressive body of work includes several notable albums, such as 'The Kid' (2017) and 'The Mosaic of Transformation' (2020), where she invites listeners to immerse themselves in her auditory odyssey. With her more recent releases like 'Let's Turn It Into Sound' and echoing remixes such as 'Song Of The Highest Tower,' Smith continues to expand her horizons and challenge the conventions of electronic music, ensuring her place as a visionary artist within the genre.
