Randy Miller is the composer of "Amargosa."  Born in Ellenville, New York, Miller received a degree in composition from Boston's Berklee College of Music where he studied piano with Madame Chaloff.  During that time, Miller orchestrated and conducted music for several theater companies.  His desire to compose music for film led Miller to Florida where he was offered local film and television work.  Shortly thereafter, Graduate studies led Miller to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

The Hollywood Reporter singled out Miller for his "rousing, pulse-quickening score" for WITHOUT LIMITS, the critically praised Cruise-Wagner production about runner Steve Prefontaine. Stone's HEAVEN & EARTH won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Score; Miller orchestrated, arranged and conducted world-music artist Kitaro's themes as well as providing additional music for the powerful Vietnam war drama.

He recently won Best Film Score honors at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his work on THE SOONG SISTERS (co-written with Kitaro), which combined authentic Chinese folk instruments with a sweeping orchestral score.  His music adorns two films scheduled for release early this year: FAMILY TREE, a tender family drama from Warner Bros., and AMARGOSA, a documentary feature from award-winning filmmaker Todd Robinson.

Miller is equally proud of his jazz score for the as-yet-unreleased Norman Mailer tale THE TIME OF HER TIME, his Hitchcock-style suspense music for the Rob Lowe psychological thriller LIVING IN PERIL, and his broadly Americana score as showcased in DREAMRIDER starring James Earl Jones.

Among his other recent credits are synth/electronic scores for the Showtime series THE OUTER LIMITS (created in his state-of-the-art studio in Topanga), his contemporary "unplugged" music for the teen-suicide drama PICTURE OF PRIORITY and a swashbuckling orchestral score for the Tim Curry action-fantasy PIRATES OF THE PLAINS.  In all, he has written music for nearly 30 films and several television series.

Miller had the distinction of becoming the first American composer to record a movie score in Russia.  His music for HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH was performed by the 82 players and 30 voices of the Mosfilm State Symphony Orchestra and Choir in Moscow.  In fact, Miller's conducting and composing assignments have led him to work with diverse orchestras in many cities around the world, including London, Munich, Prague, Dublin, Miami, Seattle and Los Angeles.
