William Ackerman has gained prominence both as a musician and a businessman, and at least one of those occupations seems to have been unintentional. Though Ackerman has played guitar since the age of 12, when he dropped out of college it was to become a carpenter, and his first company was called Windham Hill Builders.
But Ackerman composed guitar music for Stanford University theater productions, and the encouragement of friends led him to record an album of his tunes, The Search for the Turtle's Navel, in 1976. The album was surprisingly successful, and Ackerman found himself in the music business.
Since then, Ackerman has continued to record his own albums, to produce Windham Hill albums for such other artists as George Winston, Alex de Grassi, and Liz Story. He won a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album in 2004.
Though Ackerman has long since sickened of the new-age tag, threatening physical violence against anyone categorizing Windham Hill's music with the term, he has had more to do with the rise of acoustic-based instrumental music as a popular form in the '70s and '80s than anyone else.
Will Ackerman has produced a collection of Platinum and Gold Records in many countries world wide in his nearly 30 years in the music business. Will is currently available as a producer for independent musicians and record labels. A producer of both instrumental artists (George Winston, Michael Hedges, Liz Story, Alex deGrassi) and singer/songwriters (Patty Larkin, John Gorka), Will is available to produce in his own Imaginary Road Studios in Windham County, Vermont and is willing to travel throughout the world.

“The Great Architect may be a metaphor alluding to the godhead potentiality of every individual. That invisible power which all know does exist, but understood by many different names, such as God, Spirit, Supreme Being, Intelligence, Mind, Energy, Nature and so forth. The Great Architect is also an allusion to the observer created universe. We create our own reality; hence we are the architect. Another way would to be to say that the mind is the builder”.
