According to music writer Bob Ham: “Commuter is a concept album, an instrumental narrative that follows Bill, the titular commuter who on one fateful day, gets dosed on the train taking him to work. Unable to remove himself from the train, the album uses a variety of moods and genres to evoke his physical journey, as well as the psychological and spiritual journey he finds himself on. The clear-eyed vision that bubbles brings to this album is one that he has been honing for years,” bubbles produces for other artists and writes scores of songs for himself and others. Along with the production work, he publishes and markets the music himself through Bubbles Media Services. bubbles music can be found on over 30 download sites including Itunes, E-music, Napster, and Soundclick.
