Pretty Lights - High School Art Class

Glancing over my blog this morning I came to the realization I had almost no Pretty Lights! Tragic.

Pretty Lights alter and real ego, Derek Smith, is an electronic producer/artist from Colorado. Smith's music is the product of digital sampling and crosses many genres, forming a combination of "glitchy hip-hop beats, buzzing synth lines, and vintage funk and soul samples, sometimes grime." Pretty Lights' sound is generated by synthesizing samples and organic beats using the monome and the Akai MPD32. Smith uses these digital controllers to program the music production software Ableton Live 8.



*Soon I will be gone from the
Trouble of this world
Trouble of this world

I'll be the first to admit Pretty Lights has had to kind of grow on me. But if you give it a chance you may end up really like some of his stuff :)

Oh and you can download all of his work for FREE. Click here.
