Paul Henry Smith

Leonard Bernstein showed me how to conduct Beethoven's 7th Symphony at Tanglewood. Celibidache taught me that we all have the capability to deeply and clearly understand music. I was once a music hacker in the basement of MIT's Media Lab exploring computer-controlled pianos. Later I started an Internet company in New York City, worked at Rockefeller University explaining Nobel-prize winning science to the public, and conducted the world's first live performance of a Beethoven symphony with a digital orchestra.

I design for education and artistic expression and I make music for composers, soloists, filmmakers and producers all around the world with my company, The Fauxharmonic Orchestra.
