Updates:

07-01-2006 - after over a solid year since the last batch of new songs, i've just released a new collection of songs titled love of everyone. it was tentatively titled connections, but i decided against that title as it was nearing completion for various reasons. regardless, i have cds that are available for order ($4ppd), but of course as always, the downloads are available for free on the download page. enjoy! -n.


06-11-2006 - i've just found a b-side from the previous collections recording sessions. and so i've released leaning toward you on the covers page. check it out if you're interested! it's great to hear how this project has progressed, as i'm very excited about the upcoming release. i hope to have the latest collection out before the end of the month, so stay posted! all copies will come with a couple free north noble stickers as well. stay with me. -n.


04-28-2006 - i've been writing up a storm, as usual, but i'm terribly behind on recording at the moment. i want to take my time for the next release, although it's now half complete already. i'm also in the process of switching to a completely computer based recording setup, so i'm learning all new stuff like how to use cubase le. it's taking time, and it will be odd because the next release (tentatively titled connections) will be a mix of the new and the old process. should be interesting! anyway, stay posted. also, feel free to check out the relatively new north noble myspace page. always looking for new friends, so don't be shy to add me if you like what you hear!! that's about all for now. take care. -n.


02-08-2006 - well, it's been a while, but rest assured i've been working on the next north noble release and just finished performing tonight at a venue called pint in chicago. keep an eye out for upcoming releases :-)


08-13-2005 - i've added a paypal link so that you can easily buy the latest release, mend, using your existing paypal account. check it out on the purchase page!


08-12-2005 - hello everyone, it's been a while! performances have mostly tapered off after playing in morgantown, but that show went so well, i'm not sure there's ever a need to perform again! ok, i'm kidding there. i wanted to share the news that this project has been a little slowed due to me joining scale model as their new bass player. i'm still in the process of working on a new release, but it will likely take a while from now while i'm getting ramped up and re-adjusted to playing with a full band again. i'd love to meet you if you happen to make it to a scale model show, so check the show schedules often and come on out! and as always, keep an eye out for updates here. thanks! xoxo -neill.


06-18-2005 - RELEASE NOTICE: at long last, the newest collection of songs titled mend is available for download and your listening pleasure on the download page! This is the third official release by Neill Miller under the North Noble project. This release is under the same license as the previous works, so feel free to download and share this music. Feedback is always appreciated! Two b-side tracks will be released at some point in the near future. xoxo -neill.


06-11-2005 - i've made a lot of progress cleaning up the tracks in preparation for the future release. it will be titled mend, and it will include a song of the same title. i'm trying frantically to produce a cd insert layout so that i can make a small run (diy) of cds to give away or sell for very cheap. if i can't complete this by july 1, it likely won't happen. also, i've added a shows/performances page listing some of the places where you can catch live glimpses of this project. when performing with alana, we do not call ourselves north noble, but we haven't called ourselves anything so far. while we play some songs released under this project name, alana has added some original content and material, which is outside the scope of this project. perhaps in the future we'll reveal the name we've chosen. in the meantime, thanks for your continued support! -neill.


05-21-2005 - well, alana (the guitarist mentioned from the previous post) and i have been playing and it's working out pretty well so far. we played an open mic at a local bar on 05-19-2005 and it went really well, all things considered. about the new north noble release, it's nearly complete. i'm shooting for around 10 tracks on this one, and there's no doubt going to be a b-side or two. i'll keep you posted, but it's looking like it'll be ready in about a month or two. thanks for checking back! xoxo -neill.


04-19-2005 - it's been many months since the last update, but rest assured there's plenty of new stuff in the pipes. i've mostly finished recording the next EP, but depending on the circumstances, it may be a full length. also, i've been working on my live performance skills and have joined with another guitarist to help pull it off! so far so good, although i'll warn now that we might play under an alternate band/project name. i'd like to be playing out more in general, so stay tuned. expect more information about the release by next month! xoxo -neill.


10-11-2004 - I've updated the packaging page, as it now better reflects what I'd like the inserts to look like for all currently released material. i've also updated the covers page to include some b-side tracks. i had been meaning to do that for a while now, and finally just got around to it now.


09-18-2004 - RELEASE NOTICE: I've made available the second collection of songs titled the things that you are singing. This is the second official release by Neill Miller under the North Noble project. This release is under the same license as the first, so feel free to download and share this music available now at the download page! Feedback is always appreciated.


08-13-2004 - I've added a place to download some songs that I've written that are not a part of the north noble project. you can see that site here. also, expect some north noble b-side downloads coming soon as i'm preparing the next release.


04-26-2004 - I've recorded a cover of mikey iafrate's original song called the war in my sky is you from his past release called love struck rookie. more information is available on the north noble covers page (including a free download of the song).


for this project, every original song written and recorded is released under a special copyright license that allows you to legally download, distribute, modify, resample, or remix it with a few important restrictions. please see the license page or contact me for more information about what you can and can't do with materials found on this website.

neill miller has been home recording lo-fi music since 1993. most recently, songs were recorded under the project name of alexis shoulder. another somewhat recent project involving a collaboration with indie rock artist m. iafrate is letter to edison.



north noble is my most recent recording project. while I can't devote more than a small and limited free time to recording project's such as north noble, I've always believed that music created should be shared with those that are interested in it. because of this, I researched available licenses to apply to music and found one that suits my interest. I feel that the license that this music is released under is a powerful one, and I encourage other artists and musicians to consider similar licenses (e.g. the ones described at creativecommons.org). also, if you enjoy any of this music, or have any questions or collaboration ideas, please contact me at north_noble@benzedrinerecords.com.

-Neill.
