outernationale

Miller has always been passionate about music from an early age and the emergence of electronic music planted a seed that has perpetually blossomed through the decades.From the opening bars of Kraftwerks 'Trans Europe Express' to Tubeway Armys pulsating 'Are Friends electric?' to Joy Divisions timeless 'Love will tear us apart', inspiration has never been in short supply.A chance meeting with Fred Parsons, one time engineer with Edinburgh outfit Finitribe in the early 90's led to the introduction of Steinbergs revolutionary Cubase becoming a permanent writing companion. It was also during a visit to finiflex that a dat tape, lying on a mixing consol by the late & great Billy McKenzie, was spotted sporting the name 'Outernational'. The balearic island of Ibiza has had a massive influence as well with its varied sounds & sights, people and beaches.Ever the optimist, Miller has kept close counsel with the advancement of technology and is now more comfortable writing these days than years ago, as is now being demonstrated through recent endeavours.The Joy Division 'Atmosphere' cover with Paul Haig on vocals has attracted glowing feedback despite being overlooked for the movie 'Control' and is still a favourite in Peter Hooks dj sets, albeit the 'up tempo' version. It may yet see the light of day via a proper release.Although quiet of late, there is new material coming shortly, so please be patient.....
