Brooks Williams' photography is informed by his 30-year electronic music background. He uses the computer much as an audio synthesizer, that is, to process visual samples that he has collected through the
lens of his camera.

For more than 30 years Williams has worked in his New York studio, Harmonic Ranch, where he creates, edits, mixes, and designs music and audio for film, dance, television, art projects, and performances.
Brooks has worked with a diverse group of artists and organizations such as Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, Christian Marclay, LaMonte Young, Wooster Group, Dia Foundation, MOMA, New Museum, and many others.
