ESC is a networked, electroacoustic trio comprised of Elainie Lillios, Scott Deal, and Christopher Biggs. The group creates web-based and live sound art through networked means, using interactive technologies combined with acoustic percussion and creative media. Acclaimed as one of the “contemporary masters of the medium” by MIT Press’s Computer Music Journal, electroacoustic composer Elainie Lillios creates works that reflect her fascination with listening, sound, space, time, immersion, and anecdote. Scott Deal’s recordings have been described as “soaring, shimmering explorations of resplendent mood and incredible scale”….”sublimely performed”. Christopher Biggs is a composer and multimedia artist whose “original and unique musical language” blends dense, contrapuntal textures with direct, visceral expression. His music presents a “masterful combination between acoustic instruments and electronics” (Avant Scena).
The Sensorium Chamber Ensemble of Detroit is led by composer/saxophonist/guitarist Ben Miller. The group plays composition and arrangements by Miller. Miller first came to the fore with the art-damaged punk group, Destroy All Monsters featuring members of the Stooges and the MC5. Ben has always had an eye toward the avant garde and has been composing works ever since his early beginnings. Many of these can be heard on recent releases on Cuneiform and Two Rooms Records. On this night, Miller presents a body of new work along with arrangements of a couple of older works. The unconventional instrumentation includes strings, winds, percussion and electric guitar. This your change to experience home grown new music from one of Detroit's more thoughtful composers.
