Linda Catlin Smith is a Toronto-based composer who studied with Morton Feldman and Rudolf Komorous. Her music is at once gentle and steely. As Jack Sheen says: ‘Smith’s music encapsulates the beautiful paradox within all economic music: by stripping back the music to its pure essentials, one’s listening experience is totally heightened, resulting in an awareness of the sounds and a receptiveness to them which is if anything maximal rather than minimal.”
