Alex Smoke is a musician and composer; operating in various fields of sound including electronic production, sound installation and instrumental composition.
His main interest is in combining traditional forms of composition and musicianship with the more experimental approaches allowed by modern technology. Initially trained in classical cello, drums and singing, then progressing to electronic production under a range of monikers, he has increasingly focussed on sound for picture, psycho-acoustics and collaborations with visual artists and orchestral musicians.
Recent work has included scoring BBC science programmes, Order & Disorder and Mechanical Marvels: Clockwork Dreams, composing a score for Scottish Ballet’s Sibilo and providing music for various other film projects. He also regularly collaborates with visual artist Florence To on installation performances under the name of CØV and Nagoya-based Vokoi on the audiovisual performance project Wraetic.
