In 1986 Ian made a series of improvisations designed as a utilitarian aid for some tapestry student friends at Edinburgh Art College, hence the title, Soundtracks For Weaving. Obviously, this was wishful thinking and they carried on listening to Radio 1 while working, but he liked the music anyway, and kept it on a cassette to listen to. He digitised it a few years ago and although it was just for his own personal listening, he thought it might be of interest to the wider wor

Beautiful Pea Green Boat was founded by composer/producer Ian Williams in the mid ‘80s while studying in Edinburgh, the group’s ethereal, atmospheric sound pre-dating the vogue for dream pop by at least twenty years.

This is Part Two of Ian Williams' soundtracks for the 2023 French documentary ‘Le Mystère Lucie (Des Espions Contre Le Nazisme)’ | Codename Lucy (Spies Against Nazism)! (The first instalment, the actual soundtrack used in the film, was released a couple of weeks ago... ) Originally the documentary was going to be feature length, before it was cut down to 52 minutes for a TV release, so there was a lot of unused music, which we really liked, so we decided to release it as a co

This is the soundtrack to the 2023 documentary by Éric Michel and Jacques Matthey, Le Mystère Lucie (Des Espions Contre Le Nazisme). It is accompanied by an album of music written for, but not used in, the film, Le Mystère Lucie (Dossier Secret), also released on Bandcamp in the near future. Both albums showcase Ian's knack of mixing big tunes using electronic and orchestral sources, mixed with more hardcore industrial noise. Plus it's all spies and war, so what more could yo
