Anthony Smith is
a Melbourne born music freak who only started making music after his
move to sunny Brisbane, Australia in 2002 ( must be the air or something).
Since the move north he's been slowly but steadily creating a series
of tracks spanning genre from trip hop, drum and bass, darkwave , deep
house , click house, ambient , illbient and just plain electronica.
His
sound has been described as an innovative mix of beats and distortion.
Others describe the sound as living downstairs from a very loud jungle
DJ. He's mellowed a bit over the years ( from working with his partner
in crime Heidi on their side project ) and now creates dark, errie tracks.
From
creating his own tracks ++hAzy has also been involved in remixing artists
like Houston Bernard, The Sounds Of DirT, GltchBtch and others.
He's
hoping to release a independent CD later this year, either an EP or
full album depending on how many tracks he has and how much money he
can get together :)
Influences
stem from growing up listening to bands like Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny
Puppy and Nine Inch Nail, Bjork, Tricky, Kate Bush and Aphex Twin and
Squarepusher. Current influences include cLOUDDEAD and Gerling.
His
setup currently has evolved to a yamaha RS7000 ( which is amazing!!
), Yamaha pss-680, a Mac TI powerbook running 10.3.2, Nanoloop2 on his
DS, various instruments from Zithers to Theremones and kids toys, and
3 rat's called Gerbil, Dippity and
Tumeric
Hazyinseptember has become a bit of a side project lately, as his other
musical project DizzyGotheca has taken off and is eating up his time.
( in a good way ). You can check out his beats and more at www.dizzygotheca.com

spends his spare time painting and drawing, creating websites for art
