Biography[edit]
"He sticks with the classics—"When You Wish Upon A Star," "It's A Small World," and so on—and turns them into terrifying thrill rides of agitated chords and familiar yet warped melodies. If
Banksy were as smart as he thinks he is, Williams' work would be playing on a loud loop through the artist's dark Dismaland installation." [1]
"In the tradition of players like Peter Brötzmann and (most famously) Albert Ayler, Williams is a proponent of the extended techniques of the saxophone, spitting out harmonics, weeping 'multiphonics', the reed equivalent of a guitarist creating feedback and noise from an amplifier and effects pedals." [2]
