Special guest: Miles Tilmann

For ten years, Miles Tilmann has been composing music that he describes as a blend of deep atmospherics, heavy sequencing, balanced with live keyboard, field recordings, and a broad assortment of rhythm. Others have described him as eclectic, refreshing, tantalizing and as a ‘ grossly under-rated American talent.’- XLR8R Magazine

Miles Tilmann’s first release under Consumers Research and Development label is a 10′, titled Over and Through. The album is an evolution of themes established by Miles’ previous release, 3D Concepts (Toytronic). Over and Through weaves atmospheric soundscapes, gentle melodic washes with wavering and brings analog basslines with splattering of percussion to anchor it down.

Miles was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and when he was seven, moved to Florida. In 1996, while studying to be an illustrator at college in Florida, he began experimenting with music. Miles began exploring music on a keyboard which his college roommate had bought, drawing inspiration from the diverse influences of the rave music of the early 90s, industrial, the Beatles, and Pink Floyd.

In 1999, Miles moved to Chicago to pursue his interest in music and drawing. He incorporates drawing into his music through designing album covers and accompanying his CD’s and vinyl with a self-published book of pen and ink illustrations.

Miles Tilmann has releases on multiple labels. His most recent release Over and Through, is on the Consumers Research and Development label (Chicago). Miles’ other releases include 3D Concepts on Toytronic (UK) and Underland on sub:marine (Atlanta). Miles has toured the United States three times. He also plays with numerous improvisational groups in Chicago, utilizing instruments including keyboards, computers, record players and tape machines.
