Los Angeles-based composer and performer

who in the spirit of Harry Partch, creates much of his music on exotic instruments of his own design: sculptural metallic creations.  Smith's compositions, which always display his dualistic fascination with the scientific and the sensual, might owe their split personalities to the diverse collection of composers he studied with in the 1970s: Morton Subotnick, Mel Powell, James Tenney, and Harold Budd.
