 I
am pleased to release my latest instrumental CD “Evening Light”.
Evening Light is a meditative
album featuring finger-style guitar textured with rich layers of ambient
background music. It is ideal for activities such as massage, meditation,
or general relaxation. See links below to preview the
album.
Feedback from listeners has also pointed
out that the album can also provide a relaxing background for focused
tasks like working at the computer or light physical duties.
 My
previous CD, NightBird, is my first album of original songs and is
described as:
“a mix of modern folk and light rock, with a twist of blues…”.
NightBird
is an album of all original songs exploring the many journeys of the
heart.
It seems relationship is core to how we learn about life, each one
offering up its own unique passage into love and self knowledge.
Looking
at some of the tracks…
The
Lock
explores how we can become trapped in self-created limitations of mind,
living behind imaginary walls, while the
natural world beckons us to freedom.
Desert
Dreamer
came out of living in the Middle East (Yemen) for a few years and seeing
how the story of two people drawn together was played out amidst cultural
differences.
Nightbird,
the title track, was inspired by recognizing the solace I find
in nature is a constant, that it has always been there for me, to get me
through those times of feeling lost or broken.
Each song
is a mix of personal experience and creative expression, and I would like
to thank those who have walked with me over the years for their
inspiration.

 I
have also released two instrumental guitar albums, Mirage and
Passages, under the duo name WilliamCarey, (William Wilton and Carey
Parder). Mirage moves from a folk/classical sound into ambient
themes, Latin flavors and back to quiet finger style compositions.
Passages is warm blend of light classical and jazz guitar.
All
three albums are available on
major sites listed below or my company site
hummingbirdstudios.co.
For streamed playback, Evening Light, NightBird and Mirage are also
available
in
Spotify
and Apple Music (search
"Carey
Parder").
In the
broader field of composition and production I operate
HummingBird
Studios. HummingBird’s experience composing and producing music spans a
diversity of projects including
feature length film, TV drama,
documentaries, commercials, and
album projects.
My last
“music for picture” project was the sound track for A Few Good Men and
Woman by Zima Junction Films, a 7 part documentary which follows a
class of recruits through their training at Saskatchewan Police College.
As a
performer I have played guitar many years in a variety of bands, duos and
theatre ensembles. I started off playing coffee houses and folk clubs in
Calgary in the 70s and went on to tour across Canada with the rock group
McKay Bros Band. I have always been doing some level of
recording, which led me to establish HummingBird studios in the late 90s
where I continue to enjoy creating music.
