Determined Volumes by Alex Smith
Determined Volumes is comprised of some of my compositions and collaborations since 2011. Thanks to all my teachers, friends, collaborators, and influences over the course of my life who have shared their knowledge and skill with me, and that have helped in a variety of ways to produce this album. The tunes on this album are the product of all the practices with which I have connected throughout the course of my life, including but not limited to: Moravian music, jam band music, organ music, Ghanaian gyil music, 90’s alternative rock, rudimental drumming, Northeast Brazilian drumming, noise music, American Jazz and R&B, musical theater, and Western classical piano and percussion music.
