http://www.williamfields.com/ William Fields (b. 1977) is an electronic music composer and performer currently based out of Wilmington, DE, in the suburbs of Philadelphia. He has been writing music and experimenting with sound since 1993. His work covers a wide range stylistically, from a warm and melodic sound rooted in 90s IDM to more abstract and challenging works using not only custom software, but a custom setup of software and hardware designed to be an instrument for live improvisation. His recent work involves a visual component with equal status in the compositional framework. His work on algorithmic composition has been showcased on Resonance Extra and documented on the monumental 24-track, 24-hour release FieldsOS: https://williamfields.bandcamp.com/album/fieldsos He has performed throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic at events of various scales: from small club settings to festivals with thousands of people. His first major performance was at a Cloudwatch event in Baltimore, MD, opening up for Pete Lawrence (of The Big Chill) and Tom Middleton (of Global Communication). The event was a success and led to his joining Sonic Soul Productions under the name “Asoka”. As Asoka, William Fields has performed at events such as Ultraworld’s legendary Sunrise festival and the New Years Gala at Buzz in Washington, DC. He also collaborates with Mike Henderson (Nintariman) and Matt Tuozzo (Cerebral) as the band Team Techno. He has released music with tbtmo, Hippocamp, and Audiobulb Records. He has performed at MIT, Brown University, and various venues throughout Philadelphia and New York.
