Alguns Dizeres:

Este disco tem como força motriz, em termos estéticos e sonoros, a intervenção em todas faixas, do slide. O slide é um objeto cilíndrico, ou um tubo, que pode ser feito de vários materiais, mas os mais usados são os de metais, de porcelana, no meu caso, de vidro, e é usado como efeito sonoro, deslizando esse objeto em algum instrumento de cordas, geralmente no violão ou na guitarra, mas no meu caso, e pra esse disco, usei direto numa viola de 10 cordas e numa guitarra de 10 cordas, que eu chamo de "guitarola", fuçada e reformada pelo luthier André Moraes. Ou seja, consegui unir elementos que me emocionam muito no universo musical, como o blues, a milonga, o folk, o rock, a viola e o slide. Faz muito tempo que eu estudo a técnica do slide, através do blues, e desde 2009, com o disco "Milonga Blues" eu venho aplicando essa técnica também na milonga, que depois aperfeiçoei um pouco mais em outro disco, o "Milonga em Blue (Notas do Delta)", de 2012. No disco de 2009 eu já tinha gravado os slides numa viola de 10 cordas, mas que eu a usava com 5 cordas. Somente num disco de 2013, que eu gravei em parceria com o harmonicista chileno Gonzalo Araya, intitulado "Do Delta do Jacuí ao Deserto do Atacama", que de fato usei uma viola com 10 cordas, com intervenções do slide em algumas canções. Como gostei muito do resultado, me dediquei um tempo pra viola e pra essa guitarra de 10 cordas, com um slide no dedo, compondo e fazendo arranjos nessas condições. Daí surgiu o DEDO DE VIDRO.

After years of working simultaneously in both television broadcasting and the TV theme & jingle business, David Miller is releasing his debut album of new songs. David's official website for news, downloads & photos.

And like most of his projects, he’s doing it a bit differentially. Rather than releasing an album all at once, he is sharing new singles (about one every month) until the album is complete. As each song is mastered, they will be available on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon as well as directly from the official store at http://www.DavidMiller.TV. Releasing singles one at a time will allow the audience to share in the creation of the album. Through social media listeners can comment on exactly what they like and what they want to hear in future songs.

Collectively, the singles are an eclectic mix of pop, rock, and orchestral styles and themes. David explains, “One thing that commercial music teaches you is how to sound like anything and everything all at the same time. One day you are producing something quirky and sweet, then the next day it’s a blend of R&B and symphonic.” David’s music is a mashup of analog and digital . . . featuring a large variety of acoustic instruments along with many one of a kind virtual instruments created for his own sample library. David says, “Every song is different. I try to make each song unique and special. About the only real thread through this album is the voice.” When asked about his writing style he says, “It’s all about the melody . . . simple, memorable melodies that stick in your head . . . That’s what drives me.”

It was at the age of six when David Miller started playing music on an organ made for kids. He was writing short songs and performing them for his first grade class. At seven, he began taking drum lessons. By the age of fifteen he was playing drums, piano and guitar, and recording his own songs in his bedroom. As a kid, David loved playing drums. In high school he was an award winning jazz soloist. He was the drummer for “Young Sounds”, a jazz band made up of elite high school musicians.

David grew up surrounded by the broadcasting and music businesses. His uncle is Jack Miller, a pioneering recording engineer who has recorded The Rolling Stones, Waylon Jennings, Duane Eddy, and hundreds of other top stars. David’s father Bill Miller is an award winning writer, producer, journalist and entrepreneur. He’s had a successful career, in broadcast television, radio, print, and digital media. David’s Grandfather was a Banjo player who spent his life in the printing & advertising business. David has done just about every job you can do in the media business. Working in broadcasting since high school, he has been a video editor, writer, producer, photographer, 3D animator, web developer, and music producer. David is a partner in MagicDust Television, developers of the Nationally syndicated daily TV show “RightThisMinute.” He also operates IdeaFarm, a commercial production music business with a large catalog of broadcast TV show/news themes, commercial tracks and jingles. It is hard to imagine that with a history of so many shows and so many tracks, that David has never released an album of full length songs. David says, “I had always hoped to someday release an album, but I spent all my time and energy writing and producing 30 second themes for TV. It was a good way to help support my family. For all those years, making jingles seemed more responsible than singing songs and making albums.” But all of that is changing. The album project is well underway and new singles are being released.

Today, David is still married to his high school sweetheart, Kay. Together they have raised two amazing and talented sons, Adam and Ian. They all live happily ever after in Arizona along with a border collie, a siamese cat and two horses.
