Artists - Asian Turtle Crisis

Craig Millman, Asian Turtle Crisis

 

Craig Millman is a guitarist and electronic musician who produces music as Asian Turtle Crisis. His music is eclectic and experimental with a wide variety of influences. 

Craig grew up in San Diego where he was immersed in early punk rock culture. His first band, The Nemotoads, covered classics by X, The Damned, Misfits and Social Distortion. Eventually he switched to guitar and formed The March Hares before moving to LA to become a visual artist.

In the early aughts, Craig began releasing music as Asian Turtle Crisis. Circumstances brought him to Chicago. His focus shifted to electronic music and he began experimenting more and more with synthesizers and sound design. During Covid he got hooked on modular synthesizers, producing the wildly experimental "Recommended Tactics for Voltage Manipulation." Craig has teamed up with Backyard Records, sharing a lot of the sensibilities that define the new label. He's currently working on a follow-up to Recommended Tactics.
