about

Fleeting Smile Toronto, Ontario

Fleeting Smile is Ryan Smith, minimalist composer from Ontario, Canada. He primarily uses keyboards, but augments them with guitar and other devices.

The artist now creates mostly in the art-pop realm, but has the odd ambient lapse now and then.

Fleeting Smile's latest works return to his early style, albeit more polished, with ambient releases Aqdas and the latest, Spinner. ... more
