about
Originally from rural New England, United States and now living in New Mexico, United States, William Fowler Collins (b. 1974) is a musician whose work explores and synthesizes both musical and extra-musical elements. His work has been described as a cinematic fusion of dark ambient, noise and black metal musics. Collins records for the Type Record Label and has additional releases on the Root Strata and Digitalis labels. His 2009 release, Perdition Hill Radio (TYPE046) received international critical acclaim and was listed by Boomkat as one of the top 100 albums of 2009. In 2004 Collins graduated from Mills College (MFA, Electronic Music and Recording Media) where he studied with Fred Frith, Annie Gosfield, Maggi Payne, Chris Brown, David Bernstein, and Pauline Oliveros. He is an adjunct professor of Sound Art at the University of New Mexico. In 2008, Collins founded and curated the Spectre Series, a year-long series of experimental music concerts featuring composer-performers who work inside (and outside) the musical fields of electroacoustic, acousmatic, noise, and free improvisation. He has performed at venues including the Issue Project Room (Brooklyn, NY), Yerba Buena Center For The Arts (San Francisco, CA), The Seattle Art Museum (Seattle, WA), San Francisco Art Institute (San Francisco, CA), UNM's Keller Hall (Albuquerque, NM), Eagle Rock Center for the Arts (Los Angeles, CA), Santa Fe Complex (Santa Fe, NM).
