WILLITS LIVE – NOVEMBER 7th in LOS ANGELES

Next week I’ll be breaking away from the studio, for a trip to LA.
VOLUME has organized a very cool series called “Restless Brilliance” at the beautiful Hammer Museum. For this special sit-down/zone-out show I’ll be playing a live version of my recent release “Plants and Hearts”.
The show is free, and there will be lots of time to hang out afterwards. Come out and say hello!

Very happy to announce this new project and release with Ryuichi Sakamoto.

This is some of the most intense music i have ever made.. very thick melodic soundscapes inspired by and dedicated to the ocean. We must heal the damage we have done. SOS for Fading Ocean Life

The Japan release of the full-length is out Wednesday, Oct 17th on Commmons / Avex and the US release will be in January on 12k. Please listen and support.
