Nic Smith first entered the world of Electronic music around the age of 11 when he
found a music program hiding on a 3 1/4 inch floppy disk for his Amiga 500. It was
though to remain a toy to pass the time away until 1998 when after frying his brain
with a computer programming course he found solitude in a future music magazine.
Comforted (and slightly turned on) by beautiful glossy pinups of Roland groove boxes
and drum machines his life was to take a new course. Filled with knowledge that comes
only from a life time of computer nerdom, he endeavored to find a way to command his
trusty silicon minions to etch sound waves into the sounds which were stuck in his
head.
Inspired by the Big Beat sound, old school hip hop and new wave electro, his music
often never sounds like any of these. Loving raspy distorted synths and glitchy-"is
it meant to sound like this" beats he ends up with an eclectic soundscape.
8 years after frying his brain, digital music has enabled new neurons to grow and he
now has up to 96% of his brain fully functional under the psuedonym - SoNic
Smith.
[Although it now runs at 6.8GHz with limited RAM.]
His music has been reviewed in top international magazines such as 'Future Music' and local favourite 'NZ Musician'.
He has supported NZ breakbeat heavyweights 'Minuit', new wave legend 'Disasteradio', 'Phelps and Munro', 'So So Modern', 'Module' and many more.

So i just wanted to make you all aware that I've just recently released my New Debut Album "Native Planet," for FREE download at www.deliciousmusic.co.nz/invadertron
In this work I've attempted to explore sonic-scapes and habitats, using mental imagery and emotions to express places that can only be imagined. Trudging through dark valleys, windswept hillsides and gaping horizons. Past forgotten civilizations in the deep green,. Then to rest in a place of quiet solitude.
