Slate

Jonathan Mills aka Slate is a performer whose idea of music changed when he heard Terry Riley’s “A Rainbow in Curved Air.” It was 20 years before he began to compose and perform minimalist music as a shamanic practitioner using Tibetan singing bowls, logs, rocks and Native American flute.

Slate mixed micrototonal and traditional scales in his pieces. Two intense weeks composing this music resulted in his most dark ambient CD so far, “MUSIKHAZARD”. Independently, he has discovered some techniques used by the military in acoustic weaponry.
