I'm a composer and first-year master's student at UC San Diego. I primarily work with electronics+live instruments and sound design.
In the year 2007, (after learning to use a siphon), I brewed a massive cup of Japanese sencha in my neighbor's hot tub, with the help of partner-in-crime Paul Child (M.M. music theory, U of Indiana.)
Since that time, I have been enticed by the idea of organizing surrealistic scenarios both concrete and abstract.
Here is a link to a theatrical piece for actress and sound design, written in 2009: http://www.carolinelouisemiller.com/ofelia.html, and A link to my most current piece, for soprano, cello, and bass: http://www.carolinelouisemiller.com/berceuse.html
I am currently curating and organizing an installation/concert at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, featuring UCSD composers, performers, artists, and Scripps collaborators. It will be held on April 14th, and includes a wide range of musical selections and genres. Here's a link to the event http://scrippsnews.ucsd.edu/Releases/?releaseID=1325.
Interests
Since 2009, I am fascinated by patterns of the subconscious, recording movements of the subconscious via music as a way to project chaos, suppressed instinct, and "animal" awareness. I am intrigued by the relationship between memory, dreams, and reality; this contributes to my desire to build waking dream scenarios.
Other important interests include:
Music as a behavior performed by humans (representing a phenotype),
Movements of music evoking characters or behaviors,
Creation of surreal sound environments or ecosystems,
Extended phenotypes,
The concept of free will from a scientific standpoint, and
The possibility of subverting the super-ego and ego in art.
My collaboration interest
I am suited to create sound environments (including live-processed design), write music for acoustic or electronic instruments, and write/outline processes and dramatic schemas. I am proficient in Max, Pd, and a variety of DAWs and waveform editors, as well as Finale. As far as working with someone, I am open to many possibilities.
Project Idea
Incipiently (just vague ideas):
- Creation of a sound sculpture forest that can be transported, shipped, rearranged for various venues and uses. The instruments could be made of found materials, cobbled together out of simple parts, acoustic or electronic,orchestrate-able. The idea of building things is appealing
- The creation of interactive, dreamlike habitats (designed to stimulate various facets of the id?)
- A project that blurs boundaries between scientific experiment and art
