UK resident Dan Smith is not a musician in the traditional sense. Calling himself a “field recordist”, Smith captures sounds similar to how photographers take snapshots,fabricating his accounts into an mesmeric audio experience. His debut album, released under the recording pseudonym Sight, is a curated travelogue of sonance sculpted with an electronic rationale. Monsoon documents Smith’s two months spent recording organic sounds throughout India. Starting in the most southerly state of Kerala, Smith gradually worked his way along the west coast, finalizing his trek in the bustling polis of Delhi. Along the way, he gathered audio samples that etched out his encounters: local children and buskers, champing camels and chanting holy men, bird songs and temple bells. Travelling to an unfamiliar culture can be a transcendental affair for anyone, too often recalled through shaky photos and cheap tchotchkes. Smith’s music goes beyond memorable keepsakes, expressing emotions and bringing documented events to the present via his meticulous samples and deft studio work.

Opening with the fly-on-the-wall sensations of “Snoring Babas”, the chaotic experience of a train journey is suffused over your listening space. Muffled squawks and sweaty crowds shift in and out of earshot as locomotive machinery builds and interplays with a solitary sitar. Smith’s use of commonplace ambience is particularly engrossing, whether it is a tea kettle whistle on “Liquid Streets” or footsteps in gravel on “Sugarcane”. The patchwork methodology creates a sonic quilt, reminding of the microsampling used on Axel Willner’s The Field project. Each piece is diced and arranged, making it difficult to distinguish in its new aural context. Where Smith deviates from Willner is with his commitment to the origin of the sample, preserving each distinct specimen’s purity as the context evolves.

Another engaging element found on Monsoon is the true global immersion that the album provides for the listener. Sight’s blend of beats and culture on “Bombay” is particularly striking, bringing to mind the jetset vibes produced from electronic gurus Bonobo and Gold Panda. As their work is best suited for the club or crowded venue, Sight’s compositions are an insular earbud trip. “Blackouts” brings a similar setting, but gestures discordantly with a shadowy anxiety. Tones ebb and flow, sketching dark alleys and a sweltering climate, cultivating imagery that races through the listener’s conscious. Whether someone has traveled to India previously or is still long for that adventure, Monsoon brings an immediate rush to a willing headspace, emulating all of the chaos, grace, and romantic notions a once-in-a-lifetime voyage can bring. - Matthew Voracek, Impose Magazine

I’m a trained musician but then I broke all the rules. My voice is raw after hiding behind walls and getting lost along the way. I like to dance, drum, play percussion of all kinds and write little ditties that children would love and share for joy!

Born in Sheffield, England, where I played professionally and taught keyboards from the age of 15 until I moved to San Diego CA to further my music career.  

All the pieces on my page are originals, written, played & programmed by little ol’ me. 

I’m a metal head at heart 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻but I love pretty much everything as long as it moves me.  I lean heavily towards an ambient, soundtrack style when I write my pieces, and I’m getting more and more into the orchestral side of things every day. I love the many emotions that can be portrayed from a solo piano piece, all the way up to a full orchestration!  

I love to write music that hopefully evokes many feelings, I try to tell stories with my pieces, to take you away from the daily grind, even for just a little while. 

I have played on numerous rock, pop, folk, singer songwriter, instrumental albums, both indie and major label, as well as soundtrack work for independent documentaries. 
I’m available for session and compositional work of any style, and I can easily do this remotely from my home studio. 

I primarily use Logic Pro X, with Arturia & M-Audio keyboard controllers, and I have built quite an extensive collection of virtual (Audio Units) vintage & modern instruments, orchestras, loops & samples! 

So sit back, relax, let your mind slow down for a while & just breathe!
Hope you enjoy what I have to offer. 

Cheers!
Martin.
