PROGRAM NOTES
Although Deep Blue Ocean is not meant to be overtly programmatic, I thought it would be wonderful to explore the oceanic depths, so during a trip to the Gulf of Mexico I became a certified scuba diver. I was truly inspired, whether by the large rolling waves on the open sea, the delicate back and forth of beds of seaweed, the vibrant colors of fish clustering around cities of coral, or the beams of sunlight that cascade over the ocean’s surface.

I was also inspired by my four year old son Dylan: his name means ocean or god of the seas in Welsh; he is an Aquarius, which means the water bearer; he is an excellent swimmer, and he loves listening to a movement of one of my choral works entitled Infinite Oceans.

While writing this piece, I could not have known that the worst oil spill in U.S. history would occur just north of where I visited. The darker moments in this work are the result of this tragedy. It is in three connected movements: The Darkness Below, Sunbeams and Waterfalls, and Accents and Waves.

Deep Blue Ocean is written for Steven Gosling and Blair McMillen of the American Modern Ensemble and is dedicated to my son Dylan.

Gone

House of Zina, Pt. 2

Le baise main (House of Zina Remix)

I'm a car crash on the highway
I'm wide awake, I can't go back
In my dreams you are far away
I pushed you there, it's not going back the same

I see you all dressed in red
I call your name, you won't look back
On a warm night on a parked car
With parted lips, you speak to me again

But you slip away
Before I heard you say

"I love you now, but in a different way
I don't feel the same, feel the same"
I'm free falling in myself tonight again
But I can feel my wings grow in

In my dreams I still feel the same
I don't want it to, to go back
But the guilt is a burning thing
I'm filled with smoke but I can breathe again

But you slip away
Before I heard you say

"I love you now, but in a different way
I don't feel the same, feel the same"
I'm free falling in myself tonight again
But I can feel my wings grow in

You don't want my sympathy
But if I may
You don't want to hear from me
But I want to say

"I love you now, but in a different way
I don't feel the same, feel the same"
I'm free falling in myself tonight again
But I can feel my wings grow
In my dreams I still fight to wake
But I'm falling slow, falling slowly
In a bitter haze that I have made
And I see your face as it slowly fades away

In My Dreams

THE SEA
Some days you´ll feel like a leaf on a turbulent river
Sometimes you´ll hit rocks, other times you´ll get stuck on the shore
Don´t get upset because you´ll reach the sea where it all ends
Just let your dreams keep rolling
No matter where you are
Bridges don´t exist
Just become a memory of love and go home
You might try to hold on a rock on your trip
You probably don´t know why you travel on this river
Just let your trip flow as you hold on your dreams
You´ll wake up floating in the sea of love
And as your dreams are rolling
You´ll see where you are
Don´t think of shortcuts
Just become a memory of love and go home
Just stick to your dreams, go home
Don´t reject your trip just go home, go home
Let go just flow to the sea of love
Become a memory of love as you seek the sea
Welcome to the sea of love!

What can I say, it's inspired by the visual style of Billie Eilish.

Originally titled "Billie Eilish Sweaters," the name was changed due to distribution issues.

PROGRAM NOTES

Although I have based many choral works on settings of poems, I also enjoy setting unusual texts. In many ways. graffiti is ideal as a source of inspiration. It is unpretentious, extremely varied and can be found almost anywhere: under bridges, in alleyways, on the sides of vans, in subway stations, and even in bathroom stalls. It may be illegal or sanctioned, artistic, text based, aphoristic, philosophical or purely graphic. It can be humorous, innocent and childlike, or very serious and meant to provoke. Graffiti may be of our time or ancient. Certain cave paintings, for example, could be considered predecessors to modern graffiti. Through graffiti, gangs, tribes or individuals can hide behind anonymity; it is the voice of the voiceless.

In Graffiti Canons , I appropriate positive aphoristic sayings, sentences and phrases found in graffiti from various parts of the world. My goal is to create a musical tapestry that flows from one thought to the next and spans time and place, using canonic technique and chorale-like transitions.

Although I found many of the graffiti images online, others I use in this piece were obtained via a Graffiti Photo Contest that I posted online. Approximately eighty images were submitted, and viewers were allowed to vote for their favorites, which played a part in which images were chosen. A handful of the most inspirational photos were used for this piece. An optional slideshow containing these images may be shown during performances of this piece.

Graffiti Canons was commissioned by Volti, Robert Geary, Artistic Director. The commissioning of this work by Volti was made possible by the support of the Ann Stookey Fund for New Music (annstookeyfund.org).

Graffiti Canons (For Choir)

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

William is an eclectic, eccentric, and electronic musician from the NW Indiana/ Chicago-land area. William draws influence from a variety sources that include Downtempo, IDM, Ambient, Dream Pop, Lo-Fi, Trip Hop, Soundtrack, New Age, Video Games, Electronic Rock, Art Rock and Progressive Rock.

William came up from working class roots and still exists there, and yet, William’s music both transcends and embraces this history for better or worse. 

At times like an aging philosopher, at other’s belligerent and dumb. Either way, one thing William is not… is boring.

- Thanks for visiting my Soundcloud page. If you're here, it's probably because you're either a true fan, or lost. Either way, my Soundcloud page is a great way to hear what I am working on MONTHS in advance of when it may be released on other platforms. In fact, there's stuff here that isn't anywhere else as they just didn't fit the vision of my current releases. 
So.... if you hear a track and it isn't on one the pinned albums, e.p.'s, or singles, chances are it's still being worked on and/or being considered for future release. Feel free to leave a comment of praise or constructive criticism. You may get to play a small part in the creative vision of my future releases. :-)
