Bill T Miller is a chameleon of sonic exploration… a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer, recording engineer, producer, remixer, filmmaker, photographer, artist, instrument builder, and cat lover. Indulging into mutations of experimental avant space rock noise music since late 1960s, always seeking to go into unknown realms and beyond. Starting out at two years old on toy piano, formed The Electric Onion band playing (guitar & bass & organ) in 1969. Graduated from College for Recording Arts in San Francisco in 1976, becoming a pro recording engineer. First actual hands-on encounter with a synth was an ARP 2600 in synthesizer classes there. Moved to LA and scored a used ARP ODYSSEY MK 1 2800 White (which can be heard on this recording on a sample & hold patch along with a pair of ARP 2600s.) These days surrounded by synths in his Headroom Recording Studios in Boston.
Collin Russell is a composer, sound designer, and educator whose work centers on modular synthesis and through-composed electronic music. His creative output spans film scores, sound libraries, and personal releases across a wide spectrum of genres—from ambient soundscapes to harsh noise. His compositional approach blends traditional harmonic and rhythmic structures with organic modulation techniques, creating a bridge between the familiar and the experimental.
Bob Familiar has been involved in the Boston music scene since the early 80’s as synthesist for bands such as The Dark, November Group, and Death in Venice. Bob is an innovative musician and composer known for his unique blend of electronic and orchestral music. His work has been inspired by a range of literary sources, including the acclaimed “Three Body Problem” by Cixin Liu and “Klara and the Sun” by Kazuo Ishiguro, showcasing his ability to weave complex narratives into his compositions. Bob’s music often explores the intersection of technology and art, utilizing both traditional instruments and cutting-edge digital tools to create immersive soundscapes. His performances are noted for their dynamic improvisation, often incorporating live looping and sound manipulation techniques.
