Biography Continued

As a recording engineer credits include Platinum albums with Joshau Kadison and Soraya. Movie and TV soundtracks credits include Terry Gilliam's 'The Fisher King' (Oscar nominated soundtrack), David Attenborough's '˜The Trials Of Life' series and UK series 'Beyond The Clouds' (Emmy Award winning soundtrack).

My first release as a solo commercial artist is the album 'Sinking Upwards', under the artist name Sonanaut. I describe the album as: 'Ambient/Chillout/Downtempo. Mood orientated and rhythm driven soundscapes exploring the three worlds of melody, space and tension, based on Sonanaut's experiences of New York. A soundtrack album to the listeners movie.' The intention of the album is to take the listener on a journey through his or her emotional experiences. Perhaps its an album you can think to as well as listen to! The album was released on my own label IVSI Records in November 07 and has been receiving great reviews from ambient/downtempo DJs (see my MySpace site for the reviews (www.myspace.com/sonanaut). The tracks uploaded on my HDFest page are from this album. All 11 tracks from the album can be heard on my website at www.sonanaut.com/play.html

I would describe my media music style as IDM/Progressive/Ambient. All my work can be heard on my Simon Smart Music website at www.simonsmartmusic.com. For each album there is a compilation track which allows you to quickly audition the album in 2 or 3 minutes
