MONOCHROME DAYDREAM     |    NEW ALBUM - Vinyl/Digital at https://spunoutofcontrol.bandcamp.com/
Sweeping, emotionally charged synth-scapes punctuated by excitingly upbeat dance floor destroyers

​W A S P [Music Inspired by Stieg Larsson's MILLENNIUM TRILOGY]
I personally enjoy listening to music while reading and thought the idea of composing a book soundtrack while reading the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson would be exciting and rewarding.

Author Stieg Larsson's characters Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist from the Millennium Trilogy are incredibly complex and haunting characters, faced with conflicts both internal and external. With this album I sought to write music for both their characters as well as the stark frigid climates of Sweden where the stories take place. The music sounds cold and claustrophobic at times with icy pads and brooding drones but is tied together by fragile emotional melodies that float above the dense layers of synth textures. 

CITY DEPTHS
Inspired by the synth soundtracks of the 80's as well as the sounds of current electronic and ambient music comes "CITY DEPTHS": the soundtrack for an imaginary film. 

When walking or driving late at night there is a sense of uneasy stillness as the moon casts everything in darkness and shadow. Nearly everyone is asleep but through the silence you can hear the sounds of vehicles, machines, and people gentling humming in the distance. While peaceful on the surface there is a sense of uncertainty as our imaginations work to fill in details of what can't be seen, often creating things not real. 
This album hopes to capture this experience through ambient textures and pulsing beats best experienced through headphones or stereo while exploring the night.

​OPERATOR EP
The mind is like a circuit board. 

OPERATOR is influenced by both dance music as well as the dark pulsing synths and sound desing common in electronic soundtracks.  The intent of OPERATOR is to capture the sound of the mind processing information. Through a complex web of pathways similar to electrical circuitry, connections are made, problems are unraveled, and ideas are born. OPERATOR is the sound of discovery. 

Many of the sounds were programmed and played on the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operators (hence the little SUB logo on the cover).  They are fantastic little synthesizers.

All music composed, performed, and produced by Bryce Miller.
