"PUSH is a very positive move into Dance and Viola Granular Synthesis experimentation. Some tracks on the PUSH album are fast moving with very driven synthesiser sounds. Tracks like "Kissing the Shame, "Step Forward" and "Into The Space". Billy has included his original ARP Odyssey. "High Climb", "Swimming in Air" and "Cross Hands", on the other hand, are very soft and playful.
Billy has continued pushing the boundaries for electronic use of the Violin and Viola. There is a couple of very wild Violin solos on "Into The Space".
The use of the Granular Synthesis programme enabled Billy to play the Viola while sampling the instrument in Real Time so as to create an interplay between the two. Tracks like "Stand Like a Balance" and "Why Do You Hang On Me" have that certain inspirational freedom while using cutting edge technology. The results are staggering, totally unique!"
"A good return to his 'electronic roots' in many ways"
