Production
The
creation is completely self-produced ... However, looking for a
professional rendering, MILX recorded his demo at Vagh &
Veinmann, recording studio.
Music composition
All
the music is composed by Charlie Knox. Passionate about music, this
multi-instrumentalist can create a song from a piano note, a guitar
rif, a bass line or even a rhythm. The important thing for him is to
make the best song he would like to listen to!
A matter of melody
Charlie
Knox believes that a melody should be easily adopted ... But it
should not be annoying or stay in the head due to several listenings!
The key is the emotion given by melody. Beyond its complexity or its
specifications.
Singing
should magnify these lines through interpretation and must reveal all
the hidden and sensible power of notes combination. For any music
lover, this is the essence of a good song.
A matter of lyrics
Authors
of lyrics are Charlie and Kim Knox. Each one has its own universe and
style. The main thing for them is to express ideas and feelings that
can not be uttered otherwise. Charlie Knox immerses his audience into
a surrealistic world where lyrics are like a guidebook for an unknown
universe.
Kim
Knox prefers to tell stories, talking about her fears confroted to a
fading world ... However, she does not hesitate to call you out
prompting for rebellion!
Musical Influences
Grunge
(Nirvana, Hole, Sonic Youth) is the root of MILX... Because of
intense emotions given by singsong melodies and inspired by their
experiments.
Punk
(Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, The Exploited, The Distillers) for the raw
energy, their great simplicity and power of their rebellion.
The
cold wave (Joy Division, The Cure) for sounds conjuring up images,
dark and sensual atmosphere. Gossip for their catchy songs and their
life experience.
Finally,
The Doors, because this legendary group is part of MILX's DNA ...
Whether for music, lyrics, universe, world outlook and legacy!
