Though she wouldn't begin experimenting with modular synthesis until many years later, her creative work continues to be infused with and inspired by the vitality and serenity of Orcas.

Smith left the island to attend Berklee College of Music, where she studied composition and sound engineering, initially focusing on her voice as her primary instrument, before switching to classical guitar and piano. She employed many of the skills she refined in college in her indie-folk band Ever Isles, but a fateful encounter with a neighbor who lent her a Buchla 100 synthesizer, had a profound effect on her. Mesmerized by the Buchla’s potential, she explains "I got so distracted and enamored with the process of making sounds with it that I abandoned the next Ever Isles album." Starting with rhythmic patterns and melodic pulses, she soon began sculpting lush and exciting worlds of sound.

A Kid
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Lyrics

I sway
Tell you it's gone, a shame
Sounds wait till they form in low rumble ways
To send the body in certain ways
All is gonna come to life when
Movement breaks the dance we [?]
Let the kid grow
For the joy of play
Stop wasting your time
With the good and old way

And I'll open up to everything

I sway
Tell you it's gone, a shame
Sounds wait till they form in low rumble [?]
[?] move the body in certain ways
All is gonna come to life when
Movement breaks the dance we [?]
[?]
Stop wasting your time [?]
And I'm open up to everything

I, I, I, I'm on a
I, I, I, I have a brain
And let it maybe
An overtake
Everything

I, I, I, I'm on a
I, I, I, I have a brain
And let it maybe
An overtake

I, I, I, I'm on a
I, I, I, I have a brain
And let it maybe
An overtake
