He experimented with sound by overdubbing live, speeding up backing tracks and using voice to create effects. As he pursued a full-time career as a performance musician he also began working with and learning from experienced producers and engineers and eventually built his own studio. Over the years Bill has engineered hundreds of projects for his own compositions and for hundreds of colleagues and clients.

    A terrific man and musician, have known Bill for many years and the music is always supreme whatever form he delivers. Bill composed the original score for my film Singularity (IMDB Singularity 2007) and guided the process with excellence, expansive musical knowledge of instrumentation and composition, just blew me away with skills to record a super score.
