"...an artist whose medium is sound rather than color "

Gifted artists are inspired at an early age, and spend the rest of lives nurturing their talents and developing their own unique style. William Linton is no exception, in that regard. His musical training began on a 19th century upright grand piano and an ancient pump organ. In the early 80’s he became interested in electronic music. In his quest to understand the technical aspect of his art, he attended Belmont University where he studied music theory, composition, and audio engineering. And when he combined theoretical knowledge with his creativity and talent, William’s style began to emerge...

His first album, Traveler’s Tales, inspired in part by Carl Sagan’s public television series "Cosmos", received valued critical acclaim. National Public Radio, NPR, broadcast his Traveler’s Tales on their show Music from the Hearts of Space. The producer of that show, Stephen Hill, engineered the digital master.

Cosmic Flight, William’s second album, was quite a unique project. Created with fellow synthesist, Tony Gerber, and guitarist Mason Stevens, the music was recorded live and totally improvised. This collection of complete inspiration was also featured on Music from the Hearts of Space, along with music from Brian Eno, and it was most appropriately dedicated to the "explorers of humankind".

Continuing to explore the realms of synthesized sound architecture, Wayfarer is William’s latest journey. Close your eyes as you listen, and your imagination will take you through his musical landscape.

On the Space for Music label, William’s music has also been included on two compilation albums - Space Radio 2000, and Basic Space.

And in keeping with William’s desire to explore new avenues of expression, he is currently working on a series of nature videos, entitled Natural Montage, which will features William’s new music.
