In this episode, we’re exploring the world of Folktronica, a genre that unsurprisingly features traditional folk instrumentation set against the rhythms and timbre of synth-driven electronica. To top it all off, it’s a genre that we know nothing about! So join us as we dig into two amazing albums and try to educate ourselves on this elusive and eclectic genre.

Music Discussed

EARS by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Composer, synthesist, producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith makes music that blends synthesizers with melodies and connects to external processes in her life like yoga, self learning, science and nature. Her 9th studio album Let’s Turn It Into Sound (released on Ghostly) follows on from acclaimed albums like Ears and The Kid, and her collaboration with electronic music pioner Suzanne Ciani. During the record of it, she dubbed it her sentimental robot drama. She spoke with Paul via the Pacific Northwest to talk about her approaches to music and life.

Raised on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington state, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's compositions are surreal yet rooted in nature. Combining the organic elements of her upbringing with the technological prowess gained from her studies at Berklee College of Music, Kaitlyn's impact on modern music is distinct and significant. Informed by her experimentation and the unique sounds of the Buchla 100 synthesizer, Kaitlyn's music has put her on the path to global recognition. This upward trajectory was later cemented with the release of her 2015 full-length, Euclid, on Western Vinyl.

The following year saw the launch of her celebrated 2016 album, EARS, as well as a collaboration with new age pioneer Suzanne Ciani. Both EARS and Kaitlyn's subsequent full length album The Kid have earned numerous best-of nods from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, Rolling Stone and SPIN. Additionally, Kaitlyn has been regularly scoring film, TV shows and spots for brands. Her collaborations include projects with Google, Reggie Watts and Ben Dickinson’s short film Brasilia, as well as the 2018 Duplass brothers film Duck Butter. Kaitlyn's participation in the 2018 Telekinesis event saw her performing with the BBC Orchestra, and later that year she headlined alongside Grizzly Bear and TV On The Radio at the Hollywood Bowl.

This episode we highlight a few women who are doing awesome things in the music world. In the first half we talk to our favorite songstress, Lynn Castle. Lynn, who was known as Los Angeles' first "Lady Barber," recorded her beautiful songs back in the 60s with the help of Jack Nitzsche and Lee Hazelwood, but they've lain dormant ever since.. until now!

In the second half we eavesdrop on a conversation between two experimental female musicians, Suzanne Doucet and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.

We also read some user-submitted tales of what's it's like to be a woman in the male-dominated music world.
