Miller explains that logic all recovered from the disk and the live show ("Just as it was in '70, so again today"), giving place to ensure that he pays no attention to the drive market, but that it will there is public interest in their concerts. If your music (classical & modern cosmic & friendly, instrumental & functional) is not enough, has to call his scrolls, he co-authored with Sting, among others, "The shape of my heart" and has collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Luciano Pavarotti and The Pretenders, to name a few. "In these years of work with many talented people I met tricks that could help make a record that they like large numbers of people, but I feel trapped by the music and that is not how I understand the creation. I think the result of a building depends on the degree of freedom that you put into it. So I was not interested in the idea of \u200b\u200bbecoming a specialist. "
may seem odd, being a former musician who had as strong references to artists, a priori, appear to be specialists in their own: Jimi Hendrix the bluesy roots rock, the Mahavishnu Orchestra on jazz fusion or Quincy Jones as producer of R & B and interpreter of swing. "A review of the work deeply They have used this base to relate aesthetic with many forms of musical creation. That is one of the most motivating to work with Sting, who besides being an extremely talented musician, you learn lots, is like a tourist on the music. I love heavy metal, but not always listen and I play it all the time hartaría. I'm a musician, in the end no matter what style, forget the labels, although it can not detach a certain type of work, one as comprehensive as differential instrumental music.
However, Miller does not support a closing it, but an opening: "In the songs, which are pieces of music with lyrics, they tell stories. I think it is too closely relate to those who enjoy your music. For many non-instrumental music tells stories. I think it does: melody and harmony building climates, moods and games. The lyrics often take that opportunity to the listener, and I like to respect that space in which the listener can create their own history, "he says.
Crowd stories and replicated in the United States, Europe and Japan territories that have received repeated. This time, November will serve to open new centers Narrative in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay and Peru. And in four Argentine cities: Rosario (where he played last week), Cordoba (this Thursday), Buenos Aires (next Friday) and Mendoza, but the concert in that city was reprogrammed by production problems. "I wanted to turn my music with Latin America. There will be plenty of November, but also some of the issues that I arranged for Sting and I wrote to him. It is an artistic journey of 360 degrees, from classical to heavy metal : a show with variety, energy and light. "
could ensure that those shows will run a music in pursuit of perfection, but Miller not want or think so: "The error is very valuable, although it seems that the music of Sting, mine or authors that I love looking perfect. When everything is perfect, the contract of honesty with the public is in nothing. The error is another way of understanding the moment of inspiration, the break that makes you realize that there is a new creative possibilities. Rolling Stones were a group full of errors, so it's so rare to see them play now memory. No one wants something perfect or a perfect song and perfect girl. "
and closes: "Look but on the discs of the '60s and '70s, which were recorded in two or three days instead of six months or a year. The freshness with the freshness it is that makes a mistake. The autotune ProTools and led the music at a level of perfection, tuning and harmonization has no spirit. The beauty of a party is when everyone is something crazy. I think it's time to ask if we want to be at the party or arrive when it's over. "
