Sympathy For The Auto Industry

This track was created using only found sounds and everyday household objects as instruments, along with vocals. Among the sounds used are a microwave, alarm clock, singing bowls, wine glasses, a doorbell, found percussion, and more.

This is the second "single" from my album, "Pots & Pans" which will be released in November and will contain six other songs all created using found sounds and vocals.

LYRICS:
I'm alright being alone for a while
With window panes and a comfortable rain
I'm alright drowning my head in it all
A thunderstorm is good for the brain

Moving slowly, 
Barely breathing,
Ours is a quiet love
Why this vacant, 
Fixed expression?
Ours is a quiet love

But I won't be leaving my heart in the flood
A broken heart is stronger than none
So don't ask me to color in my world with your name
A lonely love will bury the pain

Moving slowly,
Barely breathing,
Ours is a quiet love
Hold me gently,
Palms wide open,
Ours is a quiet love

Moving slowly,
Barely breathing,
Ours is a quiet love
Why so vacant,
Fixed expression
It's only the end of the world

Quiet Love (Household sounds)

Previously unreleased adaptation of the Twin Peaks classic.

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.
