In January 2001 in the Melbourne suburb of Windsor Bill sat at a small desk with an $80 laptop computer, a synthesizer module the size of a car radio and a pair of headphones, and composed most of this album. He used no manuscript paper and no piano keyboard. The nearest 'piano' was a small digital keyboard at the other end of the house which he briefly used perhaps half a dozen times to work out some transpositions. The rest was done in the edit screens of an old version of his music-creation software. The result is a beautiful collection of pieces in light classical style with moods ranging from calm and serene to light and lively. The sounds of the small synthesizer are currently being replaced with much higher quality equivalents from orchestral sound libraries (i.e. collections of digitally recorded orchestral instruments used in computerized music). Some rearranging is being done so that the pieces flow seamlessly from one to the next. This is one of Bill's current projects, so the album will be available soon. Click here if you'd like to be notified when it's ready. In the meantime, here's a demo of excerpts from the original version:
