about

Build-i-n-g is the composition project of drummer Joe Smith that presents expressive melodies played over pulse without meter rhythms. The long term vision of the project is to create 7 albums, each one inspired by the specific energies of the 7 Chakras of the human body.
The debut album Muladhara Rising features Liz Kosack on synthesizers. She is a wizard of sound, constructing all of her unique synth voices from scratch to dynamically express each of the melodies. She bends and manipulates each sound like a saxophone or the singing voice of some otherworldly creature still foreign to human ears. The compositions revolve around the primal fight-or-flight energy of the Root Chakra that comes through in Joe’s sometimes savage drum pulses. All of the melodies were composed in one night of inspiration in Berlin and recorded in one day on Joe’s Birthday in Barcelona after a tour.
The original Artwork for the 7 albums is an artistic collaboration with old friend and Artist, Mariano Gil.
