About
Michael Miller is a composer, bass clarinetist, and educator based in the Kansas City area. As a composer, Michael divides his time between traditional composition, and the creation of massive multimedia collaborative works. As an avid performer, he strongly believes in the aesthetics of the composer-performer and his compositions are informed from a performer's perspective. Michael's body of works are influenced by an eclectic collection of styles and genres including, but not limited to, jazz, rock, Persian dastgāh, death metal, and hip hop. He has received commissions from Quince Contemporary Vocal Ensemble, Keith Kirchoff and the Midwest Chamber Ensemble, the California E.A.R. Unit, and Music from China.
