Listeners familiar with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's previous album Euclid (an album that prompted Dazed to call her "…one of the most pioneering musicians in the world.") will no doubt notice her heavier use of vocals on her new album EARS.  On all but one song, her gently ecstatic swells of vocals emerge to soar over a dense jungle of synths and woodwinds.

After initially composing on a Buchla analog synth, she wrote arrangements for a woodwind quintet, added vocals, and further refined the pieces with granular synthesis techniques she developed in her sound design work (she contributed sound design to Panda Bear's "Boys Latin" video, and handled sound design and original compositions for Brasilia co-written by and starring Reggie Watts).   

Kinetic arpeggios of synths pulse, often buoying her graceful vocal mantras, while woodwinds breathe and flutter, emulating the wildlife Smith observed while growing up on the West Coast (she even studied recordings of slowed down bird calls prior to composing these pieces).   Though some of her gestures echo the musical tropes used by early minimalist composers, the world she creates on EARS is uniquely hypnotic and full of life, not unlike Miyzaki's film Nausicaä, which she cites as an inspiration.

"It is first time I mix my recordings with someone else's works. There is some perverse pleasure when you interfere with not-your-own work – you reopen closed form, bend it, change context, take just a tiny part and morph it in something totally different. Or when you see similarities in pieces you found really distant at first glance. I was looking for peculiar connections – perfectly crafted sounds with lo-fi tape noises, field recordings with cold, mechanical pieces." ~ "Everything before/ between these tracks is a mixture of field recordings, synths and my old tape / noise experiments. While doing a mix I was focused on juxtaposition of hi-fi and lo–fi quality." ~ Aleksandra Grünholz aka WE WILL FAIL

We Will Fail - 426 - Electronic Explorations

Friday’s here again and we have another exclusive mixtape for you for your listening pleasure. This week’s playlist has been created for KALTBLUT by Aleksandra Grünholz, a.k.a. We Will Fail, a project focused on pleasure of wandering. Field recordings, tape samples, synthesizers and electronic drum kits are mixed together to find some peculiar quality, referring to techno aesthetics. Multi dimensional artist Aleksandra’s work as a graphic designer has a clear influence on the visuals and creativity of her music, and she has compiled a diverse selection of tracks that will give you an insight into her own influences and style.
