Bill Cornish has balanced years of composing jazz and new age music with performing in rock bands. Heavily influenced by many styles, including jazz, orchestral and world music, he always brings his diverse musical background to bear on anything he does. His solo music is niether strictly jazz nor new age nor world music, it brings elements together from each. Think George Winston meets Mickey Hart's Planet Drum meets Shadowfax meets Bob James & Deodato.
In addition to his Internet-based solo project, he can frequently be seen performing as the keyboardist for the rock group The Thomas Connor Band and the improvisational fusion group Zindu.

Why this name?
Hmmmm, well after a great amount of thought I decided to use my own name.
Do you play live?
I am involved in multiple projects and can frequently be seen playing with bands ranging from jazz to jam to rock.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives everyone a valuable way to communicate with listeners and other musicians around the world. It would be nice to think that it completely levels the playing field between those inside and outside of the major label music industry, but it's still hard to compete with the financial resources of the majors.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Given that I don't make albums in the strictly commercial pop formats, a distribution deal would probably be more useful.
Your influences?
Anything and everything. What grabs me in particular are jazz, world music, old-school progressive rock, orchestral music, new age and anything that doesn't fit neatly in a category.
Favorite spot?
Any place with cool temperatures, beautiful scenery and not too many people. Alaska, Nova Scotia....
Equipment used:
Sonar, Roland XP-80, Kurzweil K2600 and lots of really out-of-date stuff.
