Artist’s website
Joss Smith is a Welsh composer who writes music that exists in theextremes of being aesthetic or not-aesthetic, mysterious or straightforward, extraordinary or banal and sometimes all of these elements at once.
The setting up of and fulfilment (or not) of expectation is a key element of Joss’ work, with the paradigm shift being a key formal calling card. Recent pieces have focussed on zooming in and out of multiple layers of intermedial material, highlighting details that change the way in which the work as a whole is perceived.
