THE FOURTH WORLD QUARTET released two CDs of recordings from 1975 on Cuneiform Records,
both in 2021 and 2022, meeting rave reviews. Laurence and twin brother Ben were so inspired by
this that they practiced and recorded 30 other compositions of theirs from those same daze. A
few close musicians contributed to some of the tracks as well, and to their astonishment,
Cuneiform Records decided to release it in July 2023. A mammoth collection of the
avantgarde called MILLER TWINS Early Compositions (1973-76).

Laurence has since formed TINN PARROW and his CLAPFOLD PLATUNE. This ensemble
began rehearsing in March of 2023, learning many of those pieces composed
from that time, along with brand new compositions as well.

A professional music video production is now set for December 8th 2023, with plans to go
into Ann Arbor's BIG SKY studio on April fools Day 2024 to record a brand new collection!

Below are fun homemade music videos Miller produced, many using 'YouTube footage' synced up
to shorter versions of those recordings he produced in 2022 with twin brother Benjamin.
