When Clive Smith performs, magic truly unfolds. Legendary synthesizer inventor Bob Moog once hailed his band, the Electronic Art Ensemble, as "virtuoso sonic sculptors." The New York Times praised their performances as "consistently tasteful, imaginative, and skillfully integrated." And electronic music pioneer Mort Subotnick noted that their shows were "well put together with care and with musicality."

This is a rare opportunity to witness Clive perform at The Rotunda on March 28, 2025, at 8 pm. This intimate Philadelphia performance produced by Nick Mellis of Nick’s International Virtual Garage will showcase his expansive musical journey, enveloping the

audience in an unparalleled sonic experience. Clive, a composer, performer, arranger, producer, synthesist, programmer, multiinstrumentalist,

and sound designer, boasts a certified platinum recording with Philadelphia’s own rock legends Hall and Oates. His expansive body of work includes collaborations with Herbie Hancock, Yoko Ono, Sly Stone, George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins. Lately, Clive has been delving deep into sonic atmospheres, exploring the outer realms of textural and ambient music. One of Clive’s most distinctive musical approaches is his innovative use of processed electric guitar. By blending guitar with electronics, he transforms traditional guitar tones into lush, evolving soundscapes. His performances showcase intricate layers of processed sound, pushing the boundaries of what the electric guitar can express. Through real-time manipulation and effects, he crafts immersive sonic environments that captivate listeners and transport them into new auditory dimensions. As a master of electronic music, Clive merges unique synthesis styles and performance expertise into a singular, electrifying experience. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this extraordinary event—where every note and nuance is crafted to captivate and inspire. This is a FREE, first come, first serve event sponsored by the Rotunda and Nick's International Virtual Garage. Be sure to get there in plenty of time to secure your seats! Website: clivesmith.com
