Peter Miller presents Spoken, a personal guided tour through a curated selection of original works from his 40-year artistic career at the intersection of sound, music and moving image.
Rolling Stone has called Peter ‘one of Australia’s foremost electronic experimentalists’ and said that his work ‘has a discipline and intelligence… like Samuel Beckett meets Brian Eno’. The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that ‘Miller’s compositions are hauntingly beautiful’ and his visual explorations have been described by The Australian as ‘deeply geeky, but strangely appealing’.
In Spoken, Peter presents a showcase of pieces that illuminate a persistent thread that winds through his music: the use of the spoken word as a musical device. Drawing from Gothic literature and cinema, soap operas, personal interviews, and recorded messages ‘from the afterlife’, Spoken explores the uncertain boundaries between sleep and wakefulness, between human and machine, and between life and death.
