Los Angeles-based producer?Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith?is enamored by energy. With 2016’s?EARS, she captured the vibrancy of a “futurist jungle” by emulating the constant little changes of the natural world. On 2017’s?The Kid, she used the Buchla modular synth to create ambient works meditating on the cyclical nature of existence. “Expanding Electricity,” a track from her upcoming album,?The Mosaic of Transformation, concludes what Smith has called an “expression of love and appreciation for electricity.”

來自洛杉磯的實驗電子先鋒制作人Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith迷上了不同的自然能量主題。2016年的專輯《EARS 》中，她通過模仿自然世界中的微小變化，捕捉到了“未來主義叢林”的活力。在2017年的專輯《The Kid》中，她使用Buchla電子樂器創(chuàng)作氛圍音樂，思考大自然的循環(huán)?！癊xpanding Electricity”是她即將發(fā)行的專輯《The Mosaic of Transformation》中的一首歌，這首歌總結(jié)了Smith所說的“表達對電力的欣賞和喜愛”。

Smith first surrounds us with orchestral ornamentation, then quickly shifts to a looping modular synth. “I feel it, can you feel it expanding?” she sings, echoed vocals filling the air. The warmth and repetition of her mantra draw the ear to the precise variations in the music, where water droplets and micro-rhythms abound. Gradually, this kind of deep listening magnifies awareness of your surroundings—even of your own heartbeat. When she asks, “How can I help to serve you so you can do what you do?” she seems to speak from the viewpoint of energy itself, which provides without demand. “Expanding Electricity” is Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s exhortation to humans to recognize the intricacies that make our survival possible—and an exaltation of all that provides us with life.

在這首歌曲中，Smith 首先采用管弦樂環(huán)繞，然后很快轉(zhuǎn)變成一個循環(huán)的模塊化的合聲。“我能感覺到它，你能感覺到它在膨脹嗎?”她唱著，歌聲回蕩在空中。這重復(fù)演唱的溫暖頌歌讓聽眾能真切感受到音樂的精確變化，水滴音效、小節(jié)律，這都展現(xiàn)了她音樂的細節(jié)。漸漸地，這種深度傾聽會放大你對周圍環(huán)境的感知——甚至是你自己的心跳。當她問:“我怎樣才能幫助你，做你想做的事?”她的想法似乎從電這一能源本身的角度出發(fā)，能源的提供無關(guān)乎需求。“Expanding Electricity”是Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith對人類的勸誡，讓人類認識到使我們得以生存的錯綜復(fù)雜的事物——以及對所有用生命服務(wù)人類的事物。
