Biography

Mileece was born in 1978 in London, UK. Her father is Nick Abson. She spent her early life in England and California.[2]

Work

Her Formations EP[3] was released in 2003 on Lo Recordings. Following that release she toured with Múm, Mice Parade and HIM. Her live show consisted of SuperCollider generative compositions with custom made instruments.[4]

Mileece calls her sound art, aesthetic sonification, which is a way of relaying sound data into a representative mode that can be understood by all audiences.[5]

In September 2015, at Sonos Studio LA, she exhibited a sound environment installation, called Sonic Garden, using plants and the Sonos Smart System. The installation was interactive and the audience were able to touch and interact with the plants.[6]

She is featured in the upcoming documentary, microfemininewarfare: exploring sound in electronic music (2016) alongside artists such as Mira Calix, Vaccine, Rucyl and others .[7]
