Cullen Miller
Cullen Miller (1986-present) is an American composer, electronic musician and sound designer born in Detroit, Michigan. He is currently residing in San Francisco, California. His music is a laptop fused hybrid of aleatoric, electronica, dub, and jazz; incorporating original field recordings, programmed drums, fragmented vocals, synthesizers and traditional instrumentation. His compositional endeavors began by learning double bass and studying contemporary classical and modern jazz theory under the Netherlands based composer and bassist, Chad Langford. He utilizes and designs custom software applications that are configured in graphical environments, such as Native INSTRUMENTS' Reaktor and Cycling '74's Max/MSP. He performs periodically under the moniker Grandfather Clock (algorithmic dub), with Kingsley Maddukka (kinky minimal techno), and Almondü (experimental jazz). He has released three EPs, all on the American (San Francisco) based label TwoCircles.
His live performance consists primarily of live acoustic performance (cello, various drums and percussion, synthesizers, clarinet, dobro, electric and double bass, piano, violin, vocals, and saxophones) accompanied by prepared and stochastic electronics.
