The blend of musical ideas, textures, tones and rhythms of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s “Expanding Electricity” from her forthcoming album The Mosaic of Transformation is as richly conceived as it is transporting. Electronic xylophone sets a brisk pace, ethereal, plaintive vocals, electronic dulcimer-esque sounds and bright, sometimes hazy synth melodies swirl and envelop you in an realm of expansive moods in its perfect blend of new age and world music. Except one that contains hints of The Knife, Alice Coltrane, Laurel Halo and Laurie Anderson. It is structured in organic movements in its more then ten minutes of seamless sound collage and always seems to be on an upsweeping arc into infinity.
