Artist description One man band for the most part, st least as far as all these songs are concerned.You can see the other work I've done with bands by clicking on the links at the bottom of this page:Richie Calcutta & Zebo; Man In Machine; Relpo Miraculous. This page is primarily to showcase my songs written, performedand produced between the years 1975 and the present, songs wich are more or less in a serious vein and incorporate the use ofacoustic and electric guitar, simple keys, drum machines, and especially my vocals (cough). The other bands contain music thatranges from downright bizzarre to satire, but also contain serious music designed to change your life (hack). This page is mainlyhere so that old friends, fans, and ex-girlfriends may find me under my real name and contact me so that I can make amends.No kidding here...this is serious. This is Richie MILLER'S page, not Richie Calcutta's.

Music Style Pop Ballads, Rock 'n Roll

Musical Influences Acoustic and electirc guitar combinations, piano and organ music, vocal harmonies, North Indian traditional (sitar,tabla,voice), the 60's 70's and 80's.

Similar Artists I do not sound like Gordon Lightfoot, Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins, The Pretenders, The Beatles.

Artist History I've been writing songs on some sort of multi-tracksystem since I got my first Teac 4-trac in 1975. I graduated to the firstcomputer system in 1983 with a Commodore 64, which kicked ass! and now I havean all digital studio including things like Acid Pro, Cakewalk, and a seperate hard diskrecorder by Roland. I had to train myself to write parts for drums, bass, and keyboardsonce I started using sequencers, and it has been an invaluable toolfor writing decent songs without using competent musicians besides myself. I am a biggerfan of using the talents of others to suppliment my ideas but when not available this is a decent substitute, but I think it is dangerous to do it all alone. But so what?!

Group Members Just me. But there are many ex-girlfriends who deserve credit and perhaps a list here would be appropriate: Just kidding.

Instruments Acoustic and electric guitars, an assortment of drum machines, keyboards (DX7, Akai x7000,Korg M1,Casio CZ100, Buchla Analog Synths (courtesy of Cal Arts), and of course...VOCALS!

Albums There are scores of songs not yet organized into album format but this shall be done as the days roll on...for now download to your heart's content and enjoy.
