About Me


I just finished contributing music to the movie "Pretty Dead Things". Please check out http://www.myspace.com/prettydeadthingsmovie for more details. The title track "Pretty Dead Things" was recorded and produced in mono by the legendary Jack Younger at Basement 247. The musicians performing on the track are:
Megumi Sasaki - Violin
Randall Heavilin - Cello
DB Hillard - Trumpet
Tung Pham - Trumpet
Russel Bogartz - Trombone
Tony Milano - Percussion
The second track, "A Dart to the Head" was recorded by myself. Bob Desaulniers of the rock band Desert Sea performed guitar on the track. He helped improve the guitar parts and I can't thank him enough for it. He is also responsible for all slide guitar wizardry. I played piano and drums on this track.
Also, don't forget to check out my music in the movie "Die You Zombie Bastards!" Go to DieYouZombieBastards.com for more details!
All music is composed, performed, and recorded by Tony Milano unless otherwise noted.
