"... an assemblage of eight beautiful electro-acoustic compositions..." -- "Blue" Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide
"...a work of evident sincerity...the greatest problem I encountered was that of acheiving a state of mind appropriate to do the work justice." -- David Prior, Computer Music Journal
"...much wonderful stuff." -- Carl Stone
"...it's beautiful to listen to, and get lost in." -- Ingram Marshall
"The layering of soundscape and other elements is intriguing and aurally engaging...it seems open-ended for the listener to explore..." -- Barry Truax
"...mobile, richly layered sounds and subtle timbral combinations..." -- Annea Lockwood
"...elegant and beautiful..." -- Peter Gordon
"Of all the gamelan influenced music I've heard, I like [this] the best." -- David Hykes
"The lushness and richness of sounds is truly beguiling, as is the blend of non-western sound with a somewhat more familiar western synthetic sound." -- David Mahler
"**** - Excellent-Among The Best Of The Genre" -- Earwaves Online CD Reviews
"[In] this extraordinary album...complex creative and technical processes...[create] diaphonous layers and streams of sound..." -- Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"...'Subterranea' belongs to a sound lineage that includes Karlheinz Stockhausen, Krystof Penderecki and Gyorgi Ligeti on one end, and Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel and the John Lennon of 'Revolution 9' at another." -- David Prince, Santa Fe Reporter
"Sometimes inscrutable, at other times gorgeously engaging, 'Subterranea' successfully unites a keen formal precision with an exotic suggestive potency, generously rewarding the investment it requires." -- David Thompson, I/E Magazine

Independent Release - 1997
"The performers are Miller (percussion, electronics), J. A. Deane (trombone, bass flute, electronics), David Dunn (violin) and Peter Gordon (saxophone). Miller uses electronics to transform the sounds of the acoustic instruments and the results are fascinating." -- Joel Chadabe, CDeMUSIC
Independent Release - 1998
"Miller's sounds are mysterious and beautiful and they are indeed atmospheric, as if gossamer bells floating in the air." -- Joel Chadabe, CDeMUSIC
Pogus Productions - 21036-2 - 2005
Compilation CD including my pieces Twin Canon and Pulse Canon.
"Among my favorites are the drone and pulse pieces by Steven Miller…" -- VITAL WEEKLY
"To summarize the highs, Steven M. Miller's "Twin canon" and "Pulse canon" show the perfect timbral opposition between similar principles, resulting in the hypnotic synthetic flows of "Twin" and a hell of FM drum beats springing out of a few initial hits in "Pulse"." -- Touching Extremes
"...the pieces that work best are those where the canonic process is buried, either in sounds that are arresting in their own right – Wickham-Smith's contribution, and Mike Winter's "Filter IV – P.I.X.L. Study No. 1" (as chilly as its title and accompanying essay) – or overwhelmed by technical ingenuity, as in Steven Miller's "Twin Canon" and "Pulse Canon"." -- Paris Transatlantic Magazine
"While very different, all three films share two commonalities - stunning original music by Steven M. Miller and a very unique set of images and an uncompromising vision by Michael Saul." -- TLA Video
"...a series of experimental videos with beautiful musical accompaniment provided by electronic composer Steven M. Miller..." -- Internet Movie Database (imdb.com)
