William Wood - Renewal Axis (August 2021)

The EP 'Renewal Axis' is a musical snapshot of moving to Michigan, and the many developments- personal, spiritual and professional- that occurred.

This could not happen as it did without having such a wonderful team. Thanks to the band: Emma, Vincent, Aidan and Eliza for working hard with the composed material; thanks to Geoff and Josef for capturing the music in the best detail possible; thanks to the mentors who have challenged me and helped me develop my craft; and thanks to all the friends and family who offered and gave support for this undertaking.
