"Bandwidth TV @ CCTV is real public television that really includes the greater Boston community by putting people on the air and giving them a chance to learn about all facets of production in a professional setting. When my band Orgy Of Noise was invited to appear on an episode we had a blast and the crew there was top notch. The host Matt Mitchell and the director Marissa Acosta are fans and creators of experimental music so they understood my whole noise improv vibe. I brought my large ensemble and a bunch of studio audience guests and Bandwidth provided food and refreshments before the broadcast and captured the morphing chaos of our performance that featured circuit bent toys, outsider instruments (like electro tennis racquet) and percussion, guitar, violin, sax and a choir of insanity all directed live from several cameras to the final cut in real time. Plus a few weeks later they even had a fully edited pro DVD of the show. All for free. Thank you Bandwidth TV." - Bill T Miller
* BIG THANX TO ALL WHO WERE PART OF THE FUN ! OrgyOfNoise.com
X-Mas 1965. Gotta luv Santa. He looks like some sorta hippie guru. That's me standing on the left. I scored some Beatles records on X-Mas 1964 and around the time this pic was snapped I formed my first mega rock band with my two younger brothers. Since we didn't have real guitars or drums we used racquet guitars and trash can drums. Funny how things haven't really changed much. I still want more toys and everyday is a holiday in my world.
That's the view looking outside to the building accross the street from my studio door (in Allston/Boston) the day before winter officially starts.
My PLAN is to HIBERNATE and stare at Final Cut Pro Video and Pro Tool Audio screens until I spin mountains of media into audio visual gold. Several DVDs and CDs and Photo Books and etc are in the works.
By the time spring arrives I should have unleashed more video and audio that you can consume. For that matter I already have more than you have even heard or seen online already at: MP3ORGY.com (fifteen full albums) and http://youtube.com/btmtv (over fifty videos) and http://btmtelevision.com (tons of archived webcasts) and http://billtmiller.com/photos (thousands of photos) and so on.... SO DIG IN and DIG IT, man.
* OK, I prob will poke my head out of my cave to see NEPTUNE (Dec 22nd) and MAGIC PEOPLE (Jan 12th) and MISSION OF BURMA (Jan 24th)... but that's it... sure it is.
* UPDATE... Here's a snapshot of my studio entrance on the first day of winter. I don't have any windows in my studio (except my computer and tv screens) so for the most part it doesn't really matter if it is night or day or sunny or snowy I live in my own little dreamworld of fun. I try to share what I can with YOU via all the videos and cds and mp3s. Look for more BTM TELEVISION Webcasts direct from my studio in 2009.

Except for a couple of people, we didn't really do a guest list, so all these people whipped out their nine bux to be there. THANX.
Tons of people locally that couldn't make it out (on that date/time) got in touch and wished us well. Plus, fans around the world keep saying, "Bring that BTM Orgy Of Noise World Tour to MY CITY." Thanx to all for the support.
