BEN MILLER uses Alto and C-Tenor saxophones as source material for electronic and tape manipulation. Incorporating multiple foot pedals, tape decks and analog synth, he sets up a wall of dense frequencies through feedback and slow-paced improvisation. In 1977, Miller played alto sax in the art-punk band Destroy All Monsters (featuring Ron Asheton from The Stooges and Michael Davis from The MC5). He currently plays sax and composes for The Push-Pull Quartet having just released their first CDR “At The Stroke of Twelve” on Tiger Asylum Records, as well as being the composer/conductor for his 15-member ensemble, The Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra.
