about

During the dark days of the Covid-19 pandemic, as a way of staying sane, bassist Bill Noertker began composing strange and repetitious little ditties. As he re-read Samuel Beckett’s “Watt”—a book whose enigmas had long intrigued him—he saw the similarities between his compositions and Beckett’s absurdist novel. He was compelled to create a sonic universe that paralleled “Watt”. The result is “in flitters,” a suite of 49 short and whimsical pieces brought to life by the brilliant members of his long-standing ensemble Noertker’s Moxie—woodwindist Annelise Zamula, pianist Brett Carson, and drummer Jordan Glenn.

In 2001, Bill Noertker formed Noertker’s Moxie as a vehicle for his thematic compositions. Since then, he has composed over 200 pieces of music and has released nineteen albums on the Edgetone Records label, including five extended suites: Sketches of Catalonia; The Blue Rider; The Druidh; Tricycle; and In Billville
