Bill T Miller, owner of Boston-based Headroom Studios and the independent label ExtraTerrestrial Discs, is in the midst of high grade musical art production mania that includes the alien orgy industrial samplefest of Out of Band Experience (OBE), the industrial metal thunder of the Kings Of Feedback, and the pure uncut noize of the Orgy Of Noise.

Miller has also brought us the pseudo-comedy cult’s Church of the SubGenius healing anti-muzick under the King Of Slack moniker. And his new release “Drum Army — Wants You” is an experimental percussion jamfest trip around the world. The man is a master of all trades and has moved beyond the all-too human need to sleep it seems. “I know it seems like kamikaze commercial suicide,” says Miller. “I just want people to hear my music.If you want this ‘Think Different’ spirit to thrive, you must support it!”

Toward that end, Miller BTM used his girlfriend’s Apple IIc (and later a PowerBook) to get his first bite of the Apple in the Garden of Technology. Now, front and center in Miller’s control room is his Power Mac 7100/66, which he uses for web and graphic design, including artwork for his CD/record covers. And for sound design? Miller uses Pro Tools, Cubase, Sound Edit 16, and ReBirth.

As a recording engineer, producer and remixer who’s recorded such artists as Melt-Banana, Reeves Gabrels, Roger Miller and the Church of the Subgenius’ Reverend Ivan Stang, Miller loves vintage gear and analog tape machines, but has mutated his songs even further by going digital with his Power Mac. A self-confessed pop culture/television addict, Miller says, “The great thing about staring at a computer screen is that it has a fun TV-like feel, but you can actually pretend you’re working.” Now, Miller is giving his music away online. Visitors to his mp3orgy.com can download songs from all of the dozen or so ExtraTerrestrial releases, including the complete Kings of Feedback “rules” CD via MP3 and Real Audio, including free CD and cassette covers. And if he can get a gig of free space, he hopes to have his entire catalog online. Also high on his wish list: a Mac G3. “I’m making the music of the universe right here,” says Miller pointing to his terminal. “Like it or hate it.” We like, Bill, we like. —Carol Page APPLE.com - March -1999 UPDATE 2004...
