Miller’s deconstructed Gibson Kalamazoo is equipped with 4 pickups panned Left/Right; 1 in standard bridge position, 1 inverted above the first fret and 2 Piezos at the headstock and on the guitar body near the bridge. Screws, springs, silverware, binder clips, and other found objects are used to provoke texture and shape rather than chords and melody. Baritone strings are tuned randomly approximately a tritone below standard pitch.

Miller adds a score of FX pedals, Casio SK1 8-bit sampling, transistor radio, OGM tape loops, and the extreme use of a Bixby tailpiece enhancing the instrument’s erratic microtonal sound. The mixed output is run stereo through two big guitar amps. The guitarscape is created through spontaneous and loosely structured improvisation. Submerged attention and trusting the unknown is Miller’s modus operandi.

The Downstairs is located below The Watershed at 121 West Martin Luther King Jr Street in Ithaca NY
