Fourth Wall

Dominic Miller - Fourth Wall (Q-rious music)

Dominic Miller became known as Sting's Guitarist. Apart from that he has refined numerous albums of other artists, i.e. of Peter Gabriel or Manu Dibango, and he always finds time again to bring out solo albums. His fourth release with the matching title Fourth Wall (q-rious, release date 01.09) presents calm and very atmospheric instrumental music; only a few times some singing - or better: voices as a tone colour comes in. The mostly plucked acoustic parts are accompanied by synthesizer fillings, some low profile base and percussion. Miller plays very lyrical pieces, the harmonies sometimes remind of his employer - and this maybe shows how much he influences Sting's music. This man has got style, he absolutely masters the acoustic guitar and impresses by the combination of technical precision and musicality. For Miller it's all about sounds and atmosphere.
