  • Bio

    ..The FULL MOON AUDIO VISUAL SERIES - Event III ..will be ..Tuesday December 21st.. at The Gershwin Hotel 7 E. 27 St., NYC 8-9pm.. .. .. ..Pistol Poem.. is a new Brooklyn-based trio with James Ilgenfritz on double bass, Andrew Drury on drums and found items, and Ben Miller on saxophones and baritone guitar. By using Miller's intervallic hierarchy and graphic scores, the trio's improvisations take on a life of their own often captured by their characterized structure. Recordings are currently underway with a late 2010 release. .. ....TRANSISTOR F.. (Franck Vigroux: beats & Ben Miller: voice) are working on their first release with a fall 2011 tour in France being scheduled -- updates soon. .. Filmmaker Sascha Just premiered her film ..TRIP.. at Anthology Film Archive in NYC July of this year. Miller composed the soundtrack. John McLellan, Shayna Dullberger and Julian Mills were also included as guest musicians. .. ....TRAVELING IN THE DARK.. (2008): $6 plus $2 S&H - Miller plays alto and c-tenor saxophones, live electronics, analog synth, tape and feedback. The impetus behind this release is in the slow-moving nuances of intentional and unintentional sonic interaction between instrument and device. No laptops. No overdubs. Turn out the lights and turn it up - reminiscent of Empool (1976-78) and GKW (1982-94). .. .. In 2007, NYC Poet Carol Novack's CDR ..INVENTIONS II: Fictions, Fusions & Poems.. was released. Miller did most of the sound design. Review of Carol's poem "Babies"; .. "..A very cool, for lack of a better word, sound effect background of every reverberation imagined within the context of her word tapestry only adds to this masterpiece of a woman's lament. This is almost a three-ring circus of breasts, moonshine, and babies swishing around in the wash..." .. Cicily Janus, Eclectica Magazine Oct/Nov 2007.. .. ..SONIC BACKGROUND..: .. .. From 1969-71 Miller played guitar in the post-psych band ..Sproton Layer.. with brothers Laurence (Empool) and Roger (Mission of Burma), and trumpeter Harold Kirchen. .. .. In 1974-75 Miller composed for ..The Fourth World Quartet .. which included ..Laurence .., ..Roger.., Jack Waterstone, and later ..Denman Maroney... This was a combination of free jazz and 20th Century composition. .. .. Fall of 1976 Miller played in.... Empool....; a psych-electronic improv band governed by twin brother Laurence. This ensemble played what is now considered ..noise..; layered cacophony of guitar, keyboards and saxophone in a chain of analog foot pedals (MXR, Dan Armstrong, echoplex, etc.). Prerecorded stereo tape of found sound and manipulated vinyl was the backbone of their sound. There was no other band in the area heading in this direction other than Destroy All Monsters, the latter taking a very different approach. .. .. From 1977-78, Miller played alto sax for the Ann Arbor-based punk band ..Destroy All Monsters.. with Cary Loren, Niagara, Larry Miller, Rob King, the late Ron Asheton (Stooges) and Michael Davis (MC5). D.A.M. was a bastards' son of two factions; Cary Loren & Niagra and Empool. Miller played on D.A.M.'s first two 45rpms; "You're Gonna Die/Bored" and "November 22nd, 1963/Meet The Creeper". .. .. In light of Ron's recent departure from the planet, here is Laurence's MY BIOGRAPHY doing We Will Fall and Turn Your Every Page; .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Here is an informative article on .... D.A.M..... by Cary Loren... .. In 1993, Miller moved from Ann Arbor, MI to Chicago and acquired a BFA at Columbia College Chicago concentrating on film, writing and music composition. He performed with The Eleven Mirrors Ensemble, Ganglion, Mechaghidra, Dirty Old Man River, Flaw, ....Ben Miller/degeneration.... and Regeneration. .. .. Miller moved to the East coast in 2003 working with several groups in several directions; ..Thirdborder.., Ben Miller/degeneration, and ..The Push-Pull Quartet... After recording and performing with Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Orchestra, he formed ..The Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra..; a 14-member saxophone orchestra with 12 saxophones and two percussionists. .. .."Unknown Zone".. by Miller @ Abaton's art opening for Don Voisine [May, 2007] in Jersey City. .. .. ..........
