You are in the middle of
"The Dialectic", the deconstructed-book album series.
You were standing in the library (
Carnegie Stacks - 2020) with a book in your hands because the dust jacket caught your eye (
A Note on the Author - 2021). Your thumb flipped through the pages (
Front Matter - 2022). You checked it out, took it home, and left it in your room (
Bedside Table - 2023).
That book started screaming for your attention (
OVERRIDE IT EP - 2024). When you ignored it, it screamed more (
COME ON PICK ME UP EP - 2024). Then you picked it up and began reading your own story
(
She Picks it Up - 2025). Next, you'll get invested (
And She Can't Put it Down - Spring 2026).

What began as a kid in a bedroom with a notebook turned into the end-game of trying to solve the mystery of a malaise in a human life. In 2013 in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, Emily Plazek / Millaze began creating a “
Mountain” music career process manual with her company MIC: Music Industry Connected and its teams of local indie musicians & international student interns. Upon The Mountain's completion in 2022, Millaze began social media “lunch dessert" storytelling from Bloomington, IN, to share her music. In 2024, she pulled the curtain back for the internet to watch her experimental production journey. In 2025, she shared the fulfillment of a new sound from a team of international producers she met through social media, ledby head producer Connor Jobes in Sunderland, UK. The other sides of Millaze's “Parts Work” journey, sparked by her father’s final wish that she figure out how to be okay, continue now through her music and her social media storytelling.
