Chris Smith is a Melbourne-based guitarist whose
Cabin Fever (1998),
eleven atmospheric vignettes,
and especially Replacement (1999) contain
mini-symphonies of droning guitar noise.
especially Replacement (2000), containing the lengthy and stately
Replacement and Captain This is It.
Most of the latter was repackaged with unreleased tracks to produce
Map Ends: 1995-2001 (Emperor Jones, 2002).
The 12-minute maelstrom of Replacement, the 18-minute sonic sculpture
a` la Gordon Mumma Captain This Is It,
and the dense fog of Brazil, are particularly intimidating.
Influences include
Phill Niblock, Roy Montgomery, Flying Saucer Attack and Sunroof.
Bad Orchestra (Death Valley, 2007) was his "rock" project, playing music in the vein of the most spaced-out Neil Young.
