Miller is known for his contributions in the areas of direction and design, especially in the area of visual design—the  look and feel of the "Myst" and "Riven" worlds. Richard Vander Wende, co-director and co-designer of Riven, was likewise responsible for orchestrating the visual language of that world. Composer. While at Cyan, Miller composed the soundtracks for both "Myst" and "Riven". In 2005 he worked on a musical project named "Ambo", with W. Keith Moore.

Miller composed the soundtrack for Cyan's Kickstarter-funded video game "Obduction", released in August 2016. This was his first work with Cyan  since "Riven" in 1997. Initially, he had only intended to appear in the game itself (as C.W., one of the few human characters the player interacts with), and had outright said he would not do the soundtrack. After persuasion by his brother Rand, as well as seeing the work being done on the game, he eventually agreed to compose the game's music as well as appear in the game. He stated in an interview that he enjoyed focusing solely on composing, as opposed to the additional production work he had done for "Myst" and "Riven". Director. Miller's debut  film project is a fictional documentary film titled "The Immortal Augustus Gladstone", a story about a man who believes himself to be a vampire. Discography.
