Bill T Miller on Buchla Easel and Acoustic Laptop creating multi-media sound art trip out visuals and sonics from Headroom Studios in Boston (in the KITCHEN) for NON EVENT At Home series - AUGUST 21st 2020.
Another adventure with Doktor BTM exploring the ARTS in this LIVE IMPROV Orgy Of Noise with Buchla Music Easel Command 208c and his custom BTM Acoustic Laptop Artbox Sonic Sculpture with glitched out arty visuals encompassing spinart & wet shows & super-8 films & tie-dyed artifacts & circuit bent glitch processors & mirrors & painting & digital fx & oscilloscope wavs & day glow blacklights & strobes & polaroids & black and white film photography & tin foil hat meltdown theories and excessive STEREOPHONIC DIMENSIONAL AUDIO... drawing from every sonic realm of sound from drone to prog to electro acoustic to glitch to NOISE and beyond ...and somehow existing in a psychedelic overload looking through the window pain inside of yer brain as it crinkles like a fried out color melt ice cream dream void basking into the orange sunshine purple haze giving you a glimpse of the so called ArtNotArt NOODLE BRAINO of BTM. Can YOU dig it????
All the ELECTRONIC SOUNDS are LIVE from one machine the BUCHLA EASEL.... designed by the legendary DON BUCHLA as a live performance electronic musical instrument with the focus on creating SOUND ART (this BTM performance has no overdubs, just a bit of KAOSS DELAY all in the moment.) This is the sound of ELECTRICITY pulsing through the circuitry of flowing electrons via sequential voltage all in the hands & ears of Bill T Miller of Orgy Of Noise into a bit of blip bloop tronic excursion beyond the other realms where the lost grooves of buchla bongos and krello machines seem to ride a haze of cozmic rainbow blues in sync with a mutant cone of noise wavefolding and tickling the frequencies of yer soul. dig in deep.... and SHARE.
About the artist
BILL T MILLER, a chameleon of sonic exploration, is a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer, recording engineer, producer, filmmaker, photographer, artist, instrument builder and cat lover. From toy piano at two years old (in 1958) to starting a “band” with tennis racket guitar and trash can drums in the 60s to becoming a professional recording engineer / producer / live sound tech after graduating from College for the Recording Arts in San Francisco in 1976, his paths are always unfolding and looping. At recording college he took synthesizer courses with ARP 2600 and Emu synths and then worked (as live sound and recording engineer) in California until 1980. Eventually ending up in Boston working as a freelance recording engineer and live sound engineer and then starting his own Headroom Recording Studios. While much of his “professional career” was devoted to recording and photographing OTHER artists, he was always working on his own weirdo music bands in the shadows. Some of these adventures include Out of Band Experience (OBE) (with media barrage sampling and field recordings), Kings Of Feedback (bass, guitar, samples), Drum Army (percussion), Kings Of Slack (SubGenius Doktor), Zonkulator (mutated test equipment), and Orgy Of Noise (circuit bent toys, electro acoustic instruments, synthesizers) with over 20 full album releases on his own DIY labels (Immortal, ExtraTerrestrial, Burn This.) All available as FREE MP3s since 1997.
BTM’s quest has looped back around to a nostalgic look forward incorporating ALL of the past adventures while moving sideways in time in to an unknown future think void. Living in Boston for over three decades and giving every moment to this insatiable desire to CREATE and SHARE is his true path.
BTM requests that you show your support by "donating to whatever cause YOU believe in and DONATING YER TIME to DIRECTLY HELP a PERSON (friend family stranger) in the "real world" whatever that means to you.... citing the classic quote "THINK GLOBALLY.... ACT LOCALLY." So... ACT NOW... right NOW and EVERYDAY.
and of course GIVE THANX and TIME and CASH to Non-Event."
