Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is an American composer, performer and producer, originally from Orcas Island and currently based in Los Angeles.

She left the island to study composition and sound engineering at Berklee College of Music in Boston, before returning to the island after her graduation.


It was after returning home that Smith discovered synthesizers, when a neighbor introduced her to the Buchla 100 Synthesizer.Having originally intended to use her voice as her primary instrument, and then moving to classical guitar and piano, Smith switched to the use of synthesizer after being lent and experimenting with the Buchla 100 for a year.

When developing her composition skills, Smith used visual aid as inspiration for her music. She has said that she is always composing to a visual in her head, explaining, "Sometimes I let the sound create the image for me and then I build off that. Or vice versa: I come up with imagery that is inspiring to me, or I see something that is inspiring, and then create sounds that I feel match it".

Slumbering Sunday

Most of the day has been spent relaxing, reading and listening to the radio or listening to music. The weather outside for most of the day was raining and then turning to sleet during the afternoon.

I have finished a couple more books over this fairly quiescent weekend and on target to reach ninety by the end of the year.

Just Wondering

Do you like holiday lights?

Do you put them up? How many strands, as a rule?

Do you drive around and look at them?
