Check out Sediment - a new release on Bandcamp!

Sediment [AS3] is a live improvisation using an old keyboard and effects unit, direct to cassette tape, recorded in 2016.

Title originally inspired by a piece of the same name created in the 1990's, spray flocking on hardboard, with head shapes carved out. It can be easily wiped away.

The "Archive Series", [AS] shares my sound experiments and field recordings made in the past (between 1990 and the present) andl (mostly) previously un-heard, except for a handful of copies given out on cassette tape or cdr.

More About It

This one was created on streets, train platforms, and guesthouse balconies, as a way of somehow filtering a form of memory and impressions through my own head (as I had before in India, Japan, Indonesia, and other SE Asian countries);

I bought whatever sketchbook was available, and some cheap supplies, including poster paints, tape, and glue sticks…

By keeping whatever paper ephemera that landed in my hands along the way or some purchased curiosities, the piles would build up and be added to the book.

Some of these were: Sak Yant tattoo stickers in bulk from a wholesale market, faux-vintage photo prints sold on the street for a few baht each, temple pamphlets, receipts and monk stickers, free whatsapp coupon stamps from 7-11, freaky cigarette packages with gory health warning pictures, condo development brochures, transport tickets…

A drifting focal point accumulating tracings of location, current times changing so fast in these places.

It was the year the king died in Thailand, everyone wore black, and I was handed his photograph.

Buddhism and relics Dissipation of self Exotica for sale The new wave of Indie cutie-bear graphics, The all pervasive symbol of the near-extinct tiger, mutated illusions of what the visitor wants, present in reflection, amidst frozen traces and recorded ghosts. ....

I just released this album of field recordings made in Myanmar (Burma) 10 years ago on Bandcamp. Mostly quiet ambience and relaxing, also interesting!  No overdubs, living soundscapes recorded as is. From near Mandalay, Sagaing, Inle Lake, Nyaung Shwe, and other places.  Life is music!  Check it out!

A hallucinogenic splatter-drift audio meltdown through the streets and back alleys of Southeast Asia recorded and assembled by Seattle-based multi-sword-wielding artist Jesse Paul Miller (Factums/Secret Records/Liver & Bacon/Big Tribal Balls). This limited edition LP includes street and folk music, situational ambience, radio excerpts, and psychedelic atmospheres from Burma, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. “We heard them from a distance, bells in the back alleys of Surakarta … Then, one day, two weeks later, we walked around a corner and there they were, a troupe of roving gamelan musicians and a monkey with a mask … If one wanders the streets of Southeast Asia, they will undoubtedly hear a variety of fascinating sounds; those created by street musicians, sellers in markets, horns from temples and mosques, woven with insect songs, birds, dogs, motorcycles. Intended to engage and entertain a host of spirits and gods, festivals and processions are frequent in certain regions. They can be extremely vibrant and overwhelmingly powerful energy situations. In rituals, the use of random multiple layers or instrumental vibrations can be intended to confuse or scare off bad spirits, and this can be very disorienting for the living listener also. Street musicians combine older instruments with electrical delivery systems in the form of genius portable battery-operated-waist-pack mini-horns connected to keyboards, karaoke machines, and folk instruments — sometimes with effects. These musicians sit roadside; in some places they hop on buses between stops. In markets and along roadsides, sellers manipulate their voices to advertise using delay effects. Food cart proprietors use an incredible array of sonic methods to attract customers. They tap on objects, use steam whistles; sing like birds, use bits of Western jingles (and much more). Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim broadcasts can be heard blasting through loudspeakers. With the addition of amplification, there is usually some form of distortion inherent to the speaker systems, often magically enhancing the voices, mixing in with the urban or rural soundtrack. The sonic tapestry of any space can reveal poetic insights. There is the perspective that all audio events in an environment, regardless of their form, can be heard musically. The vitality and depth of human expression, whether awe-inspiring or minute in all of its multitudinous manifestations, is for now, intact in Southeast Asia, and very much alive.” —Jesse Paul Miller; This limited edition LP comes in a full-color tip-on jacket with a two-sided insert including photos by Linda Peschong & detailed liner notes and personal impressions by sound artist & compiler Jesse Paul Miller.

The first time I visited the small Island of Koh Phayam, it was cashew season. The smell in the air was a pungent sweet one with an indescribable quality. it was March of 2005; and it was much hotter than usual for that time of year. What I discovered was a place with more density of wild life than I had ever experienced. During 8 days I had numerous animal encounters. I was visited by very large porpoise with pink spots on it's back in a Kayak, negotiated with packs of dogs at dawn on the beaches, briefly saw a mysterious knee-high black rodent run into a mangrove, watched fish jump out of the bays and small orange monkeys on the mountainside, lived with giant geckos, slept in an old bungalow which crackled with termites, hiked to a small mountaintop and heard unique bird choruses, the squack of hornbills..and recorded. In the latter part of the 2nd section of these recordings is a dawn chorus in a swamp, some of the most strange natural sounds I have ever heard, some of which I later identified, most not. Five years later (2013), I returned to the Island, in the monsoon season. Things were different. It was more developed, if only by a little. I returned to the swamp. It was gone, replaced by a large newly built concrete reservoir. These recordings are beautiful, calming; also a picture of that time and place. A soundscape portrait of the natural spaces and creatures which lived there then. Listen to while reading, cooking, creating; transport yourself to these places and these places to your space by listening. This set of recordings was originally created to be listened to as one piece; hence, there are the ends of previous sections at track beginnings.

Out of a happenstance recording I made while in a guesthouse room in my first week in Bangkok (at the beginning of a 6 month journey through Southeast Asia in 2008), I found the inspiration to practice a kind of methodology for recording. This included a hand held short wave radio and digital recorder I had brought with. I would hold the radio and begin recording, scroll through channels, and move the radio closer and farther from the recorder, also picking up sounds from the spaces around. These hand held portable shortwave radio were recorded during May-October in 2008 on location in Java/ Bali/ Lombok (Indonesia), Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Japan. Also, occasionally included, are a few others; direct recordings of fascinating radio transmissions picked up through the radio, a television, and, a hanging mobile instrument I made with bits of coral tied together using fishing line. All effects (delay/phasing) are the product of radio frequency anomalies. When recording in a living space I imagined using the radio as a kind of sound-maker or musical instrument to create sounds which integrated with those in the environment. I envisioned myself as a connector between the sounds unseen and broadcast and those which occured around. And now, these are combined, assembled into a single composition, and delivered to your space.

Recordings gathered in a valley in Huelo, Maui, 2010. Including the sound of the "kiva" or meditation dome as seen on cover image. Sounds assembled and layered to create both a document of place, and simultaneously an unreal poem relating to the energies and spirit of this location.
