Description of Ian's music (as channeled by the late Jimi Hendrix)

Naismith's music defies categorization and contains natural and organic sounds, acoustic ethnic music, electric world music, progressive rock, avant-garde jazz, and

concrete experimental music. It is not unusual for a CD to have over 100 different instruments. Naismith's approach to electric guitar displays a wide range of beautifully

strange textures and unusual harmonic layers, and his solo work is truly unique - what Naismith likes to call "serpentine guitar" due to the slippery melodic lines.
