The music actually levitates the listener to other worlds. We are whisked away to Atlantis, and enjoy a bird's eye view of Cape Verde. We are treated to a Bedouin breakfast, before a walk through an idyllic mushroom forest.

Details:
From 1994 to 2000, Billy traveled the world with his band The Forgettables through eight Armed Forces Professional Entertainment tours, entertaining American troops stationed overseas, and flying or riding in almost every US military conveyance imaginable.

Having been targeted by heat seeking missiles only once in six years during eight tours, Billy went to Nashville, and toured the United States with Outlaw Southern Rock bands.


In 2001, Billy returned to Seattle, where he began composing music for film, animation, video and games.


Billy composes for full orchestra, and a wide variety of other instruments, including the "odd digital" genre. His many styles include: Rock, NFL Sports, Futuristic Big Band Swing, Frogpad Loudhorn, Classical, House, Country, Middle Eastern Dance, English Lute Traveler, Horror, Suspense, Sci-Fi, and many original designs.


Since 2003, Billy has teamed up with co-writer Jim Chase to create original music scores for dozens of feature films and shorts in the Puget Sound area, and around the world.
