Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's 'Clouds Forming Over Mount Baker'

Published: June 12, 2017, 4 a.m.

We began last week\u2019s episode digging into the music of one particular electronic musician - the synthesist, producer and composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.\nToday we\u2019re thrilled to bring you a song that you won\u2019t hear on any of Kaitlyn\u2019s albums. Clouds Forming Over Mount Baker was commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Arthur Ross Gallery to accompany a landscape photograph by Eliot Porter.\nIt\u2019s a fitting collaboration, as Smith grew up on Orcas Island, where Mt. Baker is a visible feature. Join us for this rich, synthesized soundscape, bringing sonic life to Porter\u2019s beautiful photograph. \xa0\n---\nAbout the podcast:\nMeet the Composer is a Peabody Award-winning podcast that takes listeners into the minds and creative processes of the composers making some of the most innovative, compelling, and breathtakingly beautiful music today.\nFollow Meet the Composer\xa0on Twitter:\xa0@MeettheComposerLike Meet the Composer\xa0on Facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/meetthecomposer\n---\nQ2 Music is WQXR, New York's multi-platform home for dynamic modern\xa0music.
