The artist is now known as “EMBER GLANCE”

All my work is copyright controlled. I am available for documentary soundtracks and film music. Unsigned at the moment and open to offers.

I'm just another fretless bass player, but shorter.

The rough mix and demo tracks here are to appear on my forthcoming solo album, "Stormy, Rain, Change, Fair..." which I hope to release soon. I've written the music and played the instruments.  I have used and occasionally adapted the poetry of my life partner Vienna Forrester. She has a knack of creating strong visuals in her poems and I wanted to showcase her talents and fulfil my need to release my musical work to the general public, hence the reason for this album. I am deliberately trying to stay away from the notion that songs must follow a rhyming verse chorus pattern so think of these lyrics as poetry (which is what they are) and you'll get the idea. Of course, this also means that commercialism is out the window but all I ask is that you listen and if you like what you hear, that's fine by me... if you don't, that's also fine. I just want to be happy with what I create but if it makes you happy too, then that's a bonus.

Thanks for reading and listening.

Founder of Be-Bop Deluxe in 1973, guitarist Bill Nelson wrote all of the bands material. Signed to EMI, the band released five studio albums and scored a top ten UK hit with the single "Ship In The Night." In 1979 Bill disbanded Be-Bop Deluxe and launched his next band Red Noise whose 'Sound-On-Sound' album is often cited as an inspiration by many younger bands. Bill then formed his own independent record label, Cocteau Records, and throughout the 80's and 90's he released many solo albums as well as collaborating with other musicians such as Yellow Magic Orchestra, David Sylvian, Harold Budd, The Associates, Cabaret Voltaire, Sandy And The Sunsets and Channel Light Vessel. As a producer he has worked on albums for Roger Eno, The Skids, Gary Numan, The Units, Channel Light Vessel, The Rhythm Sisters, Nash The Slash and many others. 

Bill has also composed and recorded music for film, television and theatrical productions.

Over the past five years he has released many albums under his current label Sonoluxe Records.
