Simon Wickham-Smith was born 41 years to the day after Richard Maxfield, the pioneer of experimental electronic composition, which maybe placed him in a position to absorb a little of the Great American’s spirit.
Wickham-Smith’s output consists of electronic music, mainly making use of computer software (either other people’s or, more recently, his own SuperCollider programs) to manipulate samples into new forms. Much of his output is concerned with stillness and stretched material - the length and the static nature of the work is his main musical interest.
Wickham-Smith has no formal training, either in instrumental or compositional technique. Influences range from David Behrman and Eliane Radigue to Guillaume de Machaut and Cheb Khaled, to Morton Feldman and Tibetan Buddhist chanting.
