Chapters by SmiteMatter
Chapters is a collection of songs inspired by the artist’s most vivid memories throughout his life, marked also by a specific person he has known - an “audio-biography" or concept album of sorts.
“I took this concept and put my deepest most intense memories of places and individuals who, for better or worse (or both), had great impact on shaping who I am today. I translated each as music that best represents the feelings I have for the person, place, and time. My greatest joys, hardships, loves, treasures, and nightmares are all equally cherished; all of the emotion transformed into sound.”
Chapters is the second album by Apptronica artist SmiteMatter, produced entirely using iOS apps and devices.

David Israel, known to most as SmiteMatter, started in 2009 with just an iPod Touch and some early music apps and was instantly hooked. For SmiteMatter, the concept of being totally free to autonomously create music anywhere with no need for anything else was extremely habit forming. A purist from the very beginning, SmiteMatter now makes his music on a couple of iPads.
