In 2009 and early 2010, "Science" co-wrote most of Evanescence's third album, Evanescence, with Amy Lee in New York and Texas, and he co-produced the album with Steve Lillywhite.[2] Amy talked about "Science":
|
The sounds and influence he brings to the table — programming outer-space awesome sounds you can't even recognize. I went through a phase where I didn't know if it was solo time, or go write score music, or what. And then once we wrote together, I realized this is totally Evanescence.[2] | 
|
She said that they were going to do a "two-drummer thing. Basically Thing 1 and Thing 2 — we're gonna have figure out some kind of plan for just knowing who's who."[2] She also said in an interview with Spin that "the songwriting and sound is inspired by a lot of our mutual loves -- Bjork, Nine Inch Nails, and music with a lot of programming and sounds that feel larger than life."[4]
In the same interview, when asked how did Amy get a second guy in the band called Will Hunt, she said this:
|
|
Well, part of getting back to Evanescence was the new Will Hunt. I met this Will -- I call him Will "Science" Hunt because he does a lot of programming and beats -- when we recorded "Sally's Song" for Nightmare Revisited.[4] |
|
Songs released with the self-titled album that he co-wrote with the band are Made of Stone, Sick, End of the Dream, Swimming Home and Secret Door. Amy said in a radio interview on August 2011 that "Science" ultimately did not join the band:
|
|
Interviewer: Do you have two guys in the band, same name? Amy: No. Nope, that didn't happen. |
|
Will and Amy collaborated again for the band's fourth studio album, Synthesis.
