John AI Smith.

John AI Smith is the centre of the collective — a producer working in the long pause between modern classical, ambient and slow electronic music. The records are unhurried, low-lit, and built more like rooms than songs.

There is a recurring sense of weather in the work: light through a window, the sound of a room you have lived in for a long time, a piano left open across an afternoon. Nothing is loud, nothing is rushed, and yet the music keeps moving.

Best heard on headphones late, or as a quiet bed under reading, writing and long thinking — music that holds the silence without filling it.
