Description
Kaitlyn's solo debut Euclid (primarily written on a Buchla Music Easel synthesizer) was inspired by her love of mbira music, early electronic music pioneers like Laurie Spiegel, Oskar Sala, and Terry Riley, and Euclidian geometry. Each of the first six songs on Euclid were initially structured using Euclidian geometry, an idea which Smith explored while attending a class at the San Francisco Conservatory.

Amazing, beautiful and very unexpected
I am honored to be writing the first review for this fantastic album. This is a set of short, organic-sounding and very listenable synth pieces. It is pretty much unlike anything I have ever heard before. As I understand it they are mostly done on Buchla synthesizers, which are fairly obscure instruments, and so will sound very unusual to someone who is used to the more common sound of Moogs or Korgs or whatever. If you've heard Silver Apples of the Moon by Morton Subotnick, which incidentally I don't like at all, there is a similar sonic quality here, something metallic yet also warm. I always think of the sound of something being dropped into still water. Anyway the sound is wonderful and the compositions are interesting too. I've been playing this a lot lately and reactions among my friends have been very positive - it really is strikingly beautiful music. Here's hoping she makes some more. (Tides is very good too, much slower.)
