Like all Colorfield releases, ŒCONOMY was born from an improvisatory spirit that reflects the label’s mission. Showing up with no compositions was a new workflow for Williams, who nevertheless enjoyed escaping the tendency to over-refine. “It was very satisfying to watch tossed-off creative impulses develop over time,” he explains–though he did get to indulge his compositional mind with a series of lush string arrangements. Expert performances by The Section Quartet and a few virtuosic cameos by drummer Mark Guiliana represent the only instruments not played by Williams himself.
