ANTIBODYPOLITIC

Conceived in the early days of Covid 19, Antibodypolitic is an album of compositions by Alexander Elliott Miller for electric guitar and synthesizers, combining rock, electronic and modern classical influences in a collection of works inspired by the pandemic experience.  

"Running Spring" is a driven, determined work inspired by getting into running during the spring of 2020, a sort of adrenaline-fueled musical flight or fight reaction, "Elegia Universalis" is a lament not for the loss of any specific person but all of the loss experienced during the period.  "In the Company of Thoughts" was composed during the "winter surge" of 2020 in isolation during the holidays. 

​The title track, "Antibodypolitic" was written shortly after vaccination in 2021, its title combining "antibody" and "body politic" aiming to express the same sentiment in the Estonian composer Arvo Part's quote "this tiny coronavirus has show us in a painful way that humanity is a single living organism and life is only possible in relation to other living beings." "Ever Ending" is a strongly rock influenced finale, not celebrating the "end" of the pandemic, but rather celebrating allowing oneself to escape its grip on day to day life.
