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.

 

 

Thank you for visiting the official website of Ian Naismith, experimental ethnoambient composer.  The music is

an amalgam of acoustic ethnic, world electric, ambient, progressive rock, and jazz fusion wrapped within a

fourth world vibe.  Guitars, stringed instruments, loops, textures & treatments, and percussion from all over the world abound in the recordings.
