OTD in 2019, re-released all 3 volumes of Metal Meditations as a single "box set". MM is a collection of extended ambient pieces containing subliminal suggestions for expanding one's cosmic and corporeal perceptions, ideally used as a tonal form of white noise during deep sleep cycles.

Music For Sophisticated Schizophrenics, my first album, was released OTD in 2009 followed by the "Revisited" version in 2018.

Shortly after its release, the Electronic Musician newsletter cited me as a Pick of the Week:

“Salem, Mass. based J.M. Smig presents contemporary music for the bizarre at heart. Featuring both conventional and atypical instrumentation and composition techniques, [his] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other. Songs present everything from momentous, Philip Glass-like sweeps to old-school MIDI music and Baroque-era voice leading and structure. For J.M. Smig, anything goes!”
