Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Buchla Music Easel

Please listen in headphones to experience the spatial components.

Time flies. 9 years! Hope you're doing well. I took your recipe to the MakeNoise Shared System today. Your recipe is probably one of the most exquisite dishes in the Modular Cookbook.

Thank you so much for the kind words. :) The delay is a custom delay I built in Ableton Live.

WOW!!! What great camera work!!!!
The Electric Music Box really needed your talented camera work. Usually the camera makes it look like a toy, which considering the price & quality of an ELECTRIC MUSIC BOX is an insult...
Your camera gave the Buchla the love it deserves.
And your musical composition was also great, but the close ups and slow pans were GENIUS!!!
IMHO

Still, years later, the video I come back to in remembrance of why I wanted a Buchla Easel in the first place. Still engaging, still beautiful, still far too short. ♥️

I've watched this video at least a hundred times. There's nothing like a master artist and their easel.

Buchla lives on in the voltage ☇☇☇

This is absolutely amazing! I love how seemingly simple it is, but it has layers upon layers of the most subtle details and textures to it. It is so colorful and vibrant, is almost sounds like an acoustic instrument in that sense. Can't stop listening to this!

keep coming back to this. me and my partner saw you perform at doug fir portland oregon a few years back- so great!!!

[gustofergreen]

very beautiful textures at work here! a classy use of the easel.

Keep coming back to this one.
The more I dig into, and explore, the Buchla World the more impressed I am with how deftly you navigate the controls on the Easel.

Merci Me K.A. Smith pour ce splendide échantillon de votre merveilleuse musique avec ce fabuleux instrument qu 'est le Buchla Music Easel

[nickynocknoo]

This is possibly the best live electronic performance I've seen to date.

[qishmish]

Beautiful perfomance and quality video, thanks. Melodic examples of modulars are always welcome!

[jerrypalmer]

I love your music..Not just noise..Beautiful !!

[darrenchandler]

Tim Shiel / Double J article brought me here. heard the Buchla mentioned in Wire magazine before, but never heard it until now. beautiful, will check out your album for sure.

[emfyates]

Learned about you and the Buchla on WNYC's New Sounds with John Schaefer. What a delight to see and hear your music. Thank you so much for posting this. You're completely right about the headphone comment--it seems that so much music today ignores spatial possibilities.

[mikesegarra]

cant wait for them to release the new music easel, this is the best use of it i've seen so far.

[ericjmorgan]

That was awesome. I really dug it.
Cool textures and note choices.
Well done.

[colours]

such a beautiful piece. i really love your approach to harmonies. your music is fresh not only sonic-wise, but you're also able to surprise my ears with the progressions. rare amongst modular artists.

[tonyhill]

Beautiful sounding, and beautifully shot video...really shows off the instrument.

[MrExplodicide]

Your music is a big source of inspiration for me.
