Craig Smith
Австралия
Добавлен 12 июн 2011
Craig writes words and music in Newcastle, Australia under the name Wrenasmir. His musical interests are in electroacoustic experimental composition, fusing elements of 90s braindance and 00s post-rock; his writing interests are fuelled by a cross-section of philosophy, avant-garde literature and psychogeography.
Craig is also a school teacher and consultant for special education, accessibility and technology. He has in recent years delivered seminars in Dubai, United Nations workshops in Shanghai, masterclasses in South Africa and Singapore and speaking tours of New Zealand. Recently he has released a series of AI tools for inclusion.
Craig lives with his wife and two children. He used to be a regular contestant on the radio program ‘Treasure Hunter’ hosted by ABC Newcastle 1233. You might see him riding around town on his wooden cargo bike, or walking down a dry stormwater drain with his Finnish-Lapphund.

Lighthouse Inventions: Live [Wrenasmir]

Lighthouse Inventions: Live improvisations on Piano, TB-03 and TR-09 at Nobbys-Whibayganba. Back to the lighthouse after recording my Telegraph Volume 3 EP there in the Winter of 2023. I wanted to try something a bit different this time, more live and less produced, so I took my Roland TB-03 and TR-09 and improvised counterpoint themes between bassline and piano. These are two songs that result...

I've never quite gotten the (headphone) mix right on this track - this is the third attempt in as many years and I think it's finally right, to my ears. This is my favourite of my compositions, and I want to represent it to the best of its capacity, which I feel this version is. I hope you agree. I love this comment left on a previous version of the song: “its raining today we tried to dance wi...

I'm so glad you uploaded this. Thank you for making this available.
@@2394098234509 No trouble, I’m glad you find it valuable. All these years on it’s still such a wonderful conversation.
Still listening 😊
That's a cool shirt you got on
Nice one Andrew :) hope you’re well mate
@@Wrenasmir yep I'm well thanks
And I was wondering, why is there a guard rail behind this stage?
:) I'm standing on the top floor of a quiet car park (parking garage), although you're right it does look a bit like a theatre stage!
@@Wrenasmir I figured that out towards the end :-) Spot well chosen.
@@duniel3000 Aha! Nice one - it's one of my top three multistorey parking garages in the area.
@@Wrenasmir I owe you a beer and a personal city tour if you ever turn up in Berlin
@@duniel3000 Nice one mate, would definitely be up for that!
Holy shit he died a week after this?
That’s right, 14th December.
I really loved both songs! I found 187A8 particularly moving.
I’m so pleased :) thank you as always for listening and for your kind feedback.
A poet and a prophet.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Such Great music & the footage of the lighthouse & surrounds. Beautiful piece. Thank you 😊
🥰thank you
Thank you as always for listening :)
I suspect DFW thought two things. One, outbursts count against you. Two, male fans don't actually, that, to me? Damn!!??
Да.
:)
Awesome stuff - love the Godin LG :) and the Moog!
So good to hear from you - thank you very much :)
Great interview in spite of the bad interviewer lmfao
Nice performance! How did you record geometrum?
Thank you very much :) I just used QuickTime on my Mac to screen record Geometrum running through Ableton.
I want this to be written on my tombstone: "A lovely mess"
What is the artist he mentions about "running onto the stage? Something Twins? Not Aphex, genuinely curious and can't figure out what he says. She gives a big reaction though
What's the timestamp? I'll take a listen.
Think I got it now that I'm not at work listening, Ragga Twins!@@Wrenasmir
Such lovely sincere stories. Thoroughly enjoyed this! Such a lovely clear speaking voice. Thank you for sharing 😊
Are you also reading any data from the video for modulation or synthesizing?
No I’m not, but I love the idea 💡
Here from Reddit thanks for sharing!
Hey that’s so kind of you, thank you very much for listening :)
Too!
Walking through a British field at sunset with Tom Jenkinson would be the most future thing that could ever happen in my life
greatfull for posted this enterview❣
Nice work. Very evocative and transporting. Would watch again. I give it 9 "Altmans" out of a possible 7
WOW! What a fantastic poem! Such Brilliance! I loved it. Excellent work Craig! 💯
A very thought provoking poem I love it Well done
Has anyone else experienced the feeling of somambulance that the presenter talks about around 04:54? He says that he feels like he has dremt the connections in Sebalds story and I thought I was the only one.
It’s such a perfect description of his prose style, isn’t it - the feeling of sleepwalking between ideas, the ‘sleight of hand’ as Sebald calls it, turning one concept, one geographic area, into something completely different without a clear demarcation between each.
@@Wrenasmir Yes, like water colors fading into each other. I think this is one of the reasons why every time I re-read his books it feels like I never red it before!
Woah, this sounds crazy!
:) thank you 🙌
I love this music 🎶 very calming. Well done! 😊
Enchanting piece of music
Fantastic! Are you on bandcamp so I can keep tabs on you?
Very kind of you Cris :) I’m at: wrenasmir.bandcamp.com
Lovely experience, enjoyed it all
Thank you very much for listening and for the kind words :)
love the track
Nice one mate, really appreciate the listen :)
Omg, would the interviewer stfu already.
I‘ve listened to this interview so many times and each time I find something new and revealing. Just like Sebald‘s books themselves
Fantastic! 🥳
Much appreciated :)
awesome! great work! happy birthday from berlin!
Very kind, thank you very much! :)
Im glad the algorithm allowed me to find your creation. Can I possibly use your song in a home video of mine? Thanks
Yep go for it :)
Lovely to hear another singer singing such a lovely song...great job..you sound great
"Я знаю мужчин, я знаю женщин, я знаю себя". В каком смысле знает? Он не может знать несколько миллиардов человек, это несколько миллиардов индивидуальностей, у каждого из которых свой внутренний космос. Следовательно, когда он говорит о том, что *знает* их, он имеет в виду гендерные различия, коллективное бессознательное, паттерны поведения, характерные для этих социальных групп, но при этом отрицает, что в книге есть попытка разобраться в психологии. Такое чувство ,что он просто издевается, и его задача дать максимально расплывчатые обтекаемые ответы, которые по сути не значат ничего.
Самое невнятное интервью
This is really awesome stuff. Perfect for chilling and studying. Love the building layers of timbres as the some progresses.
Thank you for the kind words :)
The finale of Fergenthwithe might be my favorite moment in your catalogue of sounds. Perfect chaos.
Thank you so much ✌️
I like it a lot! This video encapsulates a mood. Life goes on and on, it's currents swaying us through the world and the society we formed. A world that's not perfect, but it will do.
I love your interpretation - I agree completely. Thank you for listening and for your insightful comment :)
I thoroughly enjoyed the music and video ❤
Hey I really appreciate that, thank you very much :)
Loved every moment of this video! Beautiful music & location 🎼 Well done 😊
Sensational music Absolutely beautiful 😊
So Beautiful & Peaceful! The beach,the ship coming in,seagulls & the beautiful lighthouse. Love it. Thank you 😊
Amazing as always
Thank you very much Jamie, I appreciate you listening and your kind words.
Absolutely love this piece of music...
David Foster Wallace?
You've intrigued me; what's the DFW link?
Sorry for the extremely late reply, I wasn't having such a good time and then forgot about it. There's some scene in Infinite Jest in which one of the characters says that the hum of the air conditioner sounds like a far-away sound of itsokitsokitsok and this kind of gave me the same weird but calming feeling.
They rest in a training room after tennis practice, I think, the passage is around the 200th page or something
But it is a really beautiful book; it's unnerving, extremely annoying and wonderful at the same time, I would have loved meeting DFW and telling him how much his work has helped me
@@Wurmg.I That’s beautiful. I know DFW’s work well. I’m thinking back to Infinite Jest, I remember a passage where a character is listening to a chant that sounds like “no don’t worry no don’t worry”… I really like that you’ve made a connection between that sort of idea and my repetition of “it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine” in this song, that’s really lovely, thank you. I’d have like to have told DFW how much his writing meant to me, also.
I listened to the ABC broadcast Craig,was so inspiring to hear you speak. You & your colleagues are doing wonderful work every day making a difference. 😊
