about

Another early piece which I had considered, but was not certain of for RETURNING. It's a piece influenced, but not dominated by Robbie Basho. I remember feeling when I wrote it that it had a different sound, though I couldn't describe it. I now realize it was the sound of a musical voice emerging in a young guitar player.
I had tried repeatedly to record this piece and a number of different days and hours of recording had produced nothing of any real life. I had concluded that the piece simply didn't want to be part of this collection. It was late one night and I had absolutely no energy left. My neck and back were killing me and my knees had eve begun to ache with my sitting in classical position for hours.
I had literally told my engineer that I had nothing left in me. My fingers continued to trace distractedly over the strings. Suddenly I felt the piece. I felt connected to it. I felt the emotion take me over and once again I hung on for the ride as it was recorded start to finish. I guess it wanted to be included.

William Ackerman Vermont

I recorded my first record for about $300 in 1975, creating Windham Hill Records in the process. I’ve produced George Winston and Michael Hedges among many others.

I’ve toured in the US, Europe and Japan. I have a Grammy Award and 21 Gold and Platinum Records as a producer in the US and overseas. My studio is in Windham County, Vermont. It’s been a lot of fun. Still is. ... more
