Set for release on August 1, 2013 at www.billwarddrumart.com, all of the pieces in Bill Ward's collection are created from rhythm and limited in availability.

An extensive process from start to finish, 'Absence of Corners' took nearly a year to complete. Working with Los Angeles art team SceneFour, Bill utilized a sophisticated formula to create the collection's visuals, using an array of drumsticks and rhythmic accessories that produce light, much like a painter utilizing brushes and oils.

The movements featured within the captured rhythms are then studied and developed into abstract artwork that showcases a dimension not normally seen by the human eye.

Each piece in this limited-edition collection is then numbered. All are signed by the influential drummer. Bill Ward on the project:

"When I'm working on new ideas, musically much of what's played is guided by a visual appearance or shape. Since my early childhood, I've played drums in visuals as well as sound. When I write, there's always an image, sometimes a color attached to what's being created. I've never 'listened' to bass notes; I 'feel' them. The keyboard's black notes are dark to me and represent many sad emotions. These examples are simple, natural, childlike applications that have stayed with me."
