The roots of the Involve sound lay in Bevan Smith's original Involve project which he calls Aspen - the name refers to the tree species, not the US ski resort. The Aspen project at present centres around work with live musicians, primarily drummers and guitarists, an exploration of the fusion between indie guitar music and electronica.

Summary: pisces, quite geeky, general Involve control freak. Smith now resides in a flat stranded between suburbs in N4 London.
