It's Only a Game
A song about the struggle to find purpose and truth in a mundane world, and a good excuse for Bridget to yell into an expensive microphone!

Blood Piece
Milton has been composing abstract electronic music completely based on his blood results. Daily values are interpreted into musical data. Every sound is there because of a reading. Milton chose how each blood level links to each musical value and then it was a "hands-off" approach. Each day represents a bar, and each bar is one second long, mapping his medical history, clearly. Check it out (just don’t expect Mozart!)

The MiltCentral (alternative) Christmas Single!
It's here! Produced in 2½ days from a hospital ward while undergoing chemo, the (alternative) Christmas Single is all about out what's crap about Christmas but great about people!
Help us prove that love spreads faster than leukaemia - we want to get the song heard as many times as possible, all around the world. The aim is to eventually beat Milton's original leukaemia cell count (344,000) when he was diagnosed! So tell everyone to come and listen!
New - the video has arrived! Filmed on Boxing Day (with Milton in the middle of a very heavy series of chemos). Directed & edited by Ken Clark - ENORMOUS THANKS! Now any TV/Radio guys - let's get it on! (Er, you know what I mean..) Enjoy!
