Rob Smith é a mente que constrói os delírios sonoros do Auralscapes seu projeto paralelo e de sua banda oficial o Soundwavves.
Enquanto o Soundwavves é mais shoegazer e psicodélico navegando em terrenos alucinógenos e delirantes, o Auralscapes caminho de forma mais hipnótica e celestial em ambientações feitas para flutuar em sonhos.

Q. How do you feel playing live?
I have not performed live doing Auralscapes material but I do perform with Soundwavves. I do like to perform especially when I have a new song or songs to see how the audience reacts. So far so good haha. I don't plan to perform any Auralscapes stuff live as of now but who knows!

A. As for new bands I have not really heard too much as I've been busy working on new material for Soundwavves but when I hear something good and new ill know it.
Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?
A: I'm not really into covering songs although I feel that way now doesn't mean I never will it just means I haven't found a song that I had to cover. Eventually I'll find a song or two to cover possibly.
Q: What´s the plans for future....
A. The future looks good as Soundwavves plans to do more shows possibly a mini tour and maybe even a new album. Nothing really planned for Auralscapes just some new videos of new pieces.
