Parlier’s first instrument was the piano, which was more so his parent’s idea than his, but it did not instantly strike him as appealing and quickly Parlier discontinued his lessons. Only a couple years later he regained interest in music while visiting a family friend who he called E.T. He found both an old classical guitar and an auto harp in her attic and it opened many new doors for Parlier. Slowly he began to pick up the ability to play almost any instrument you handed to him.
At the age of 13 his parents bought him recording software, a midi keyboard, and microphones, and Parlier’s producing really began to lift off the ground. As he learned his way around his recording software he also began to delve in electronic music, and with that came his invite by UK producer Greg Hartley to join their abilities to form the electronic music duo entitled Idiot-Gene. Parlier and Hartley produced genres all the way from minimal electronica to trance.
While William was in Idiot-Gene he also produced electronic music under the name Grünhexe, and recorded and produced film scores and folly for student films throughout the country for students attending schools such as The University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and Perpich Center for Arts Education. Parlier also attended various summer music programs such as Cannon Music Camp, and New England Music Camp where he was introduced to theory and orchestration, and studied performance in one of his favorite instruments: the tuba.
Only a year after it’s creation Idiot-Gene split up and went there separate ways. It was here where Parlier really started to delve into many different genres, and even study more extensive orchestral compositions. Looking for a new sound for his work, Parlier began to learn sythesis, and how to program both software synths, and large modular systems.
At the age of 15 Parlier was accepted to attend the University of North Carolina School of the Arts for tuba performance, which opened many new doors for him. His understanding of music grew much more board, and his interest spread from classical to pop music. His production also gained more practice because he composed for even more films, and would record small ensembles, and auditions for students to send to universities and summer music programs.
Parlier attended UNCSA again in 2009 to continue his path as a concert tubist, but later decided that what he truly wanted to do was produce music. During this time he did however meet his current producing partner Stephen Phillips (Mospheric) who was his roommate at the time, and a year later they merged together to form the electronic duo March of the Elephants. Now working on their first album entitled Japanese radio, which is to be released in 2011.
Along with producing with colleagues, Parlier works with many musicians, from vocalists to rappers, under the name Will.E.P.
