So. This is basically based around me. Steve Smith, but i occasionally have others come in to play and record music with me, mainly Gage Jones. So, Most of this music will be heavy metal, but there will also be some acoustic or blues type stuff. Most of the music is random and unorganized, almost completley improvised. Usually ill have some riff idea, and just free style off of that.
Why this name?
Well. My name is steve Smith...so...yeah. And " The Smith Project " Sounds pretty badass...
Do you play live?
Nah. I dont play live. Although, im in a band called "Unmundane" www.myspace.com/gravesideepitaph and we play live shows.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it helps the smaller guys get started and up and running, helps get the word out. But, one thing. Never put your best songs out on the internet. Some one might steal em and make money that you should be getting. If its really a master peice. Dont send it to the web.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah. I suppose i would.
