A journey beyond perfection
Miller's latest album, i follow, it guides, is an introspective exploration that marks a significant departure from traditional perfectionist approaches. Created over two years, spanning studios in Leipzig, Germany, Kelowna, and Victoria, this album reflects an organic creative process that feels as spontaneous as it is intentional.
"In Leipzig, I started recording daily without the goal of making an album—it was just practice," Miller shares. This unstructured beginning laid the foundation for the album, resulting in a collection of tracks that feel raw, authentic, and liberated from conventional constraints.
One track, "opus," stands out as a pure reflection of Miller’s experimental approach. "It's a meditative soundtrack to something that doesn’t exist," she describes, capturing the album's essence of non-attachment and surrender to the unexpected.
Through each piece, i follow, it guides invites listeners into a journey where perfection is no longer the aim—freedom and authenticity take center stage.

A sound that guides you
The beauty of i follow, it guides is in its ability to take the listener on an uncharted path. Each piece flows into the next, not as a narrative, but as a series of intimate, unfolding moments. The music doesn’t demand attention—it invites you to listen, to lean in, and to find your own connection with the sound. Miller’s instruments—crafted with care and intuition—speak more than any lyrics could.
They’re not simply notes on a page; they’re emotions, impressions, and fleeting thoughts caught in time. It’s the type of music that makes you feel, not think, and that’s where its power lies.
