For the 2019-20 season, Miura has composed micro-opera, Sharaku Unframed, for shamisen player Hidejiro Honjoh and San Francisco\u2019s Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, and Galactic Monarchs, a shakuhachi concerto, for John Kaizan Neptune and Prague\u2019s BERG Orchestra.

He is also a founding member of the electronic improvisation unit, No One Receiving, whose debut album from the Grain of Sound has won critical acclaim in Europe and the United States.\u00a0 He has studied piano and composition at l&#8217;Ecole de musique Vincent d&#8217;Indy and McGill University, and holds D.M.A. degree from Columbia University. He is Associate Professor of music at Bates College, where he teaches music theory and composition, and directs the college orchestra.
