hi, my name is zach miller. you've arrived at my personal space on the interweb. here you will find a collection of projects i've worked on, links exploring that work, and potentially links to other parts of the interweb with work by other people i find interesting and or important.

if you're wondering what it is i do for work, you might classify me as an musician, audio engineer, film editor, film director/producer, aspiring web application programmer, or any combination of the above.

i do a little bit of everything, but in all honesty, i just find myself attracted to all forms of video/audio art, the technical tools that facilitate those mediums, and how to best continue doing that work.

as a result of these interests, i'm currently exploring the realm of financial co-operatives and DAOs for a project that i'm working on called secret teaching.

if you're interested in just my work history or links to other places on the web, keep scrolling. but if you want a deeper dive into some creative projects, want to learn a little bit more about me, or curious what i think about, feel free to visit my blog. i'll be trying to update this on a regular basis, because i love the idea of a "slow web".
