"In the Moment"
a retrospective on Detroit's Two Rooms Records
"There are a whole lot of interesting guitar oddities on IN THE MOMENT and I’m loving every second of it. Repetitious sonic globules weaving through tape glop and elephant trumpeting run headfirst into a minimalist brick wall. Voids appear, scratch out a few steel-cut melodies and saunter back into the luminous divide. Miller can play it all. Sprawling explorations dissipate into hazy webs. Whatever gets left behind is consumed by the woozy plucks stuck between two ghosts fighting for the last seat on the boat. Rhythmic spillage bleeds into an echo chamber that’s being eaten alive by howling scratches. In the Moment is one hell of a trip."
_ Foxy Digitalis April 2022
"As tasty as stereo prepared guitar improvisation gets. Detailed sonic manipulation in the style of early AMM. Minimal and engaging."
_ Dan Burke / Illusion of Safety, 2023
