      "I Was Wrong About Most Things To Do With Other People" by Caleb Miller's Here Here (VMR016)

       

      This is the first release under my "intentionally rotating" project Here Here (different musicians/ people every time). "I Was Wrong" is an 8tet work I about all that is the title. It features the following cast of amazing Columbus musicians:

       

      Alto Sax: Alex Burgoyne
      Trumpet: Lee Tucker
      Guitar: Abhilasha Jayanthi
      Tenor Sax: Andrew Kovaleski
      Bass Trombone: Nick Weckman
      Keyboard/Synth/Vox: Caleb Miller
      Drum set: Troy Kunkler
      Bass: Eric Stratton

      "Intensely Regional" (VMR012) by Calebs (Caleb G Miller and me)

       

      https://calebs.bandcamp.com/releases​

       

      First release by a duo of two friends with the same name, from the same town who make similar music (SYNTHS!). Caleb G Miller and I met in 2019 at The Robinwood Concert House and quickly recorded this 4 track EP...

      These tracks are a testament to using initial, clear connections but having them take forever to become alive. This situation/ "opportunity" appeared completely unforeseen, quickly, was immediately possible but was sat on. We grew up a few miles away from each other, were born in the same hospital and have other strange meandering connections...! Oh the world, oh the world...

      Whatever You Niche

      A podcast I hosted/ recorded/ helped organize from 2017-2019. It was a podcast about having conversations with people who are very much into a particular topic or are apart of a misunderstood community... Topics included: the fury-fandom, bread making, paganism, woodworking, drug addiction, dungeons & dragons and much much more! Hope to get it going again in 2020 to some capacity.

      Caleb Miller is a keyboardist/ saxophonist/ composer and educator currently residing in Columbus, OH. His work mostly focuses on midwestern perspectives surrounding improvisational-based music and projects. In Columbus, Caleb plays and subs in many jazz-adjacent projects (Gault, Radarhill, Sun Trash, Yumbambe, Ryan Jewell Quintet, Waves De Ache), songs groups (Zack Kouns and His Insatiable Orchestra, Taylor K Conrad, Keating, Fables, Francis Bacon Band), contemporary classical settings (dance accompanist, classical pianist) and other settings (solo work, audio work, Very Much Recordings). As output he tends to be most interested in productions that show a true synthesis of perspectives, sounds, individuals and communities (striving for some form of "newness"/ "things that are their own" always). Caleb also currently operates the Columbus-based recording label Very Much Recordings and teaches in the American public (!) school system.
