Other ProjectsMiller combines Alto and C-Tenor Saxophones, tape deck abuse, arcane electronics, analog synthesis and fkt-up drum loops to build a wall of dense, varying frequencies via feedback and incidental improvisation. "Traveling in The Dark" (Living Records, 2008) is available and is reminiscent of previous ensembles Miller has played in; Empool (1976-78) and GKW (1982-1994). "Call to Arms", a new live/studio CD/DVD, is anticipating an early 2012 release. Here is a selection put to video, here is an audio/visual collaboration with Joseph Giacomin, here is a Spring 2011 performance with drummer Jarrod Ruby at SILENT BARN, NYC (before it's unwelcome demise), and here is a Summer 2011 solo performance at MOVIATE in Harrisburg, PA. Miller and bassist James Ilgenfritz are in the process of forming a quartet this Spring. This new group will have a heavier sound relying less on minimalist free improv which pervaded previous ensembles; Pistol Poem and The Push-Pull Quartet. The former released At The Stroke of Twelve on Tigerasylum Records in 2008 Ben is finishing a 2-year collaboration on twin brother Laurence's film The Color of Water. Laurence has re-rendered his psychedelic pencil and ink drawings from the mid-1970's on a larger scale using watercolors. This film is a documentation of that process with Ben's multiphonic sound design. Possible Art showings to be announced 2012.
