Milo Black is the recording project composed of Miles Walsh and whoever else turned up on the day (including ex-wives, geologists, next-door neighbours and a large bowl of water). This page is just a few samples of what I do. For (lots)more, and links to my collaboration projects, visit my main page at http://www.mp3.com/miloblack.
Band/artist history
After a number of false starts, Milo Black was launched in 1991 with the concept album "The Tail of Oskar the Fish" to worldwide indifference, concept albums having gone out of fashion in 1973. Undeterred by the label "old hippy", follow-up albums "Hypermass", "Black-Log" (demos & out-takes) and "Black and Fourth" continued to plough the tripped-out ambient guitar rock furrow. Stadium-filling success remained as elusive as a polar bear in Uganda. At the time of writing, Milo is working on another concept album based on the Sci-Fi classic "Ringworld", although no-one knows why. Milo lives in Oxfordshire (UK) with his partner, nine guitars, four horses, three cats, two dogs, no children, a small studio, a large overdraft, a pink anteater called Plato and a collection of dead mice. He is old enough to remember 1973 (when concept albums went out of fashion), young enough not to care, and is living proof that listening to Pink Floyd rots the brain. If pressed, he will confess to owning a copy of "Tales from Topographic Oceans".
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Used to, many years ago, but not having a band makes things impossible. Too much hassle. Don't start me off on this.
Your musical influences
Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles, Gong, King Crimson, Genesis, Tangerine Dream, guitarists David Gilmour, Steve Hackett, Steve Hillage and Robert Fripp, and drummer Bill Bruford.
What equipment do you use?
Many guitars, PC with Cakewalk and Soundblaster Live!, Alesis HR16, Roland SH-101 and D5, Yamaha DX-100, Soundcraft mixer, several other useful boxes.
