Beyond Horizons by Michael Neil

I first met John Miller in the spring of 1998 when we took part in a local TV feature on the release of the album Cornubia, which is based on John's painting ‘Cornubia - Land of the Saints‘,
Our time together, albeit very short, left me with an impression of a warm and generous man, humble and very modest, but extremely wise, especially with the advice he imparted to me during our day together.
In the time it took to produce Cornubia, and afterwards, John and I corresponded regularly, and he would often accompany his letters with a small painting that he thought might be useful as a cover for a new music work. One of these paintings, which I have titled 'Beyond Horizons', moves me to write new music attempting to capture his approach to light and shade in what appears at first to be a simple image, but on closer inspection, is more profound. This is also one of a number of images, some of which are owned and used by Robert Fripp for his soundscapes' series.
Somewhat belatedly, it has taken me over 25 years to be able to yet again match John's vision, and 'Beyond Horizons' is dedicated to him in memory of our short but lasting friendship.
