Curiousity For Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble

Description

Roger C Miller - Modified Stratocaster electric guitar, three prepared/altered lap steel guitars on legs, Boomerang III Looper, foot pedals. Miller uses multiple Source Audio devices. Roger Clark Miller is best known as the guitarist in MISSION OF BURMA, where he expanded the vocabulary of rock guitar by incorporating elements of free jazz and 20th Century classical music. "Curiosity for Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble" is an expansion upon his previous ground-breaking release "Eight Dream Interpretations for Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble." His restless creativity keeps moving. Miller has performed his "Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble" music from Toronto to Washington, DC. It is performed on multiple guitars with multiple loops and devices. While the sounds produced are sometimes dizzying, they are always physical and made in real time. In performance, Miller sits in his cockpit, able to reach all four guitars and a plethora ofpedals from one position. It requires intense concentration to play these compositions, but they could not have occurred any other way. "The post-punk 6-string hero takes a deep dive into sonic surrealism with his new album, a loop-driven collection of riveting soundscapes." - PREMIER GUITAR "His skills as a guitar player and his bottomless imagination have collided in a perfect encapsulation of the two traits, bringing forth a third strand that just can't be imitated by anyone else, no matter how hard anyone should try." - POP MATTERS
