New Side Project: Yearly Orbital Band
Yearly Orbital Soundscape No.1 by Marwood Williams
Here’s some experimental music I have been working on with a side project I call “Yearly Orbital Band.”
The main “spine” of this music was a soundscape designed by Jon Behrens. I added some other elements, including guitar, bass and keys. Noel Williams plays Alto Sax.
Enjoy!
New Song: Beverly Drive
Here’s a song I just finished recording, called “Beverly Drive.” It’s a stripped down version of a song that I wrote some years back. I used my Grenanda Acoustic guitar (thrift store find) and it’s the 1st song done completely with Sonar X1 Producer software. As usual it’s a free download.
Comments are always welcome.
My Jamendo Page for “Detours & Byways”
Here’s another site I use for hosting my music. For my musician friends out there, I would definitely recommend using Jamendo to reach more of an international audience.

I have also finally entered the world of Twitter. After playing around with it for the last day, I have to wonder what took me so long. My twitter name is @marwoodwilliams. Click below for more information.
New Song: D-Day
Here’s an instrumental song called, “D-Day.” The song has nothing to do with the Normandy Invasion of World War II. The title is all about key of the song – D.
Here’s the back story to the song: I have been playing around with this basic instrumental since the late 1980′s. Back then, I owned a fun digital delay pedal (Digitech PDS 2020) which had a feature, reminiscent of the old reel to reel players, called “sound on sound.” In non-technical terms, this feature would allow you to store and record short musical phrases. For example, I would play a two note bass line, then add a repeating chord and with little effort, I had backing music to accompany on my guitar. The song is a favorite with jam buddies because of its simplicity and flexibility.
On this version, I play all the instruments. I added a little introduction and had fun playing around with the arrangement. It’s the first recording I have been able to use my mountain dulcimer and my recently acquired conga drums.
Please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or comments.
New Song: The City Lights
Here’s a new and improved version of my song “The City Lights,” which features my talented wife, Noel on Alto Saxophone. As always, downloads are free and comments are welcome.
Inkster Recordings: My Internet Archive Net Label
I have started a non-profit internet recording label on the Internet Archive Site:
The internet archive is an excellent hosting site for multimedia collections, and in my opinion, it is an example of what’s great about the internet.
I have also created a tumblr site for Inkster Recordings. The jury is still out on tumblr. I think it’s an interesting site – but the software and posting capabilities lag far behind WordPress.
At the moment, I am using the net label to release my own music. In the future I hope to release material from different people and side projects.
In the meantime, I have a new batch of music I am currently working on and I hope to have a collection release in the next month or so. Please check back for updates.
