Bio / Background
William Harrington was born in Yonkers, New York. By the time he was a sophomore in high school, he was working as a professional musician. While at Cal State, Dominguez Hills he studied composition, performance, electronic music, and prepared piano techniques with Richard B. Evans, who authored the classic book on John Cage, “The Well Prepared Piano.” He was also influenced by seminars with several composers including Nicholas Slominsky.
After leaving college he worked in the wholesale record industry for two years where he amassed a sizable collection of electronic and avant-garde recordings before going on tour. He worked as a keyboard technician for several bands including Gentle Giant, before beginning a three year working relationship with Frank Zappa - including three American tours, two European tours, spending several months in the studio working on the album "Baby Snakes" and making a brief, credited appearance in Zappa's movie, "Baby Snakes".
↓ more ↓He was with Zappa in Paris when Pierre Boulez first visited.
Upon returning to LA, he attended the UCLA Extention Music Business course where he was awarded two NARAS scholarships. He studied record production with Nick Venet (producer of The Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater and many others). His first cd, Urban Electronic Music, has received good reviews and airplay on NPR, college, and indie radio stations. In 2006, he was awarded a SUBITO grant by The American Composers Forum.
His first CD, Urban Electronic Music, was constructed using loops recorded over a 30-year period, analog and digital synthesis, as well as traditional instruments and found objects. It has received good reviews and airplay on NPR, college, and indie radio stations.
Recently, he has performed at The Ventura New Music Festival, electro-music 2006 (Philadelphia), and appears in the indie film, 40 Bands in 80 Minutes.
Avant-garde sound artist Jilli Dart improvises using a variety of guitars while manipulating the output through different effects. In addition to her percussive tapping style, she uses a violin bow to vibrate the strings.
Jilli's guitar style/sound has been compared to Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Healey, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Pink Floyd, Laurie Anderson, Cocteau Twins, Interpol, My Bloody Valentine, KMFDM, Sun Ra Arkestra, Adrian Belew, Hans Reichel, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Her piano style has been described as sounding like "two people playing at the same time" and "music at a ballet studio in Paris".
Jilli's vocal style has been compared to PJ Harvey, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Marianne Faithfull, Carole King, Joan Osborne, Peaches, Luscious Jackson, Juliette & the Licks, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Slits.
