The Mirlitrons

About Me

The Mirlitrons number 1 +/-1 sonic artistes struggling at their dull, boring day jobs by day and meticulously composing sonic delights by night and weekends. And holidays. In fact, any time that they can escape from reality to the Mirlitunes Studios. One of them spent some ill-gotten wages to attend the "Hands Off" UK theremin symposium in 2007 and regaled anyone who would listen with tales of the imminent arrival of The Mirlitrons. They didn't listen, and we were forced to produce the "Quaas Crescent" EP in order to attract attention to ourselves. Since then "Get Fit with The Mirlitrons" has emerged, and a full LP ("Star's End") is in production. If we make as few as one million people happy with our sonic offerings, it will all have been worthwhile. Fewer, and it won't.
