from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mileece (* 1978 in London ) is a British artist and musician who deals with the conversion of organic processes into sound. She deals intensively with the growth of plants .

Life

Mileece's grandfather created the first song programmed on a computer , Daisy, Daisy (alluded to in Stanley Kubricks 2001 ).

Mileece herself grew up in the Free Range music studio , where her parents recorded legends like the Sex Pistols , Tim Hardin , Thin Lizzy and Ian Dury . In addition, they ran Rock Flicks , one of the first production studios for music videos. There were among others Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush , We Will Rock You by Queens , Master Blaster by Stevie Wonder , and Lucky Number by Lene Lovich , on which six-year-old Mileece can be heard.

After her parents divorced, young Mileece lived in New York , Los Angeles and the French provinces. She attended about eighteen different schools. In Los Angeles, she lived in the Chrystal Garden house of mathematician Jon Gibbon , where counterculture icons such as Timothy Leary , John Lily and Erv Wilson came and went. Gibbon worked together with Charles Lucy on setting the crystal structures to music using microtonal instruments. Mileece was very impressed and studied the work of Gibbon and Lucy intensively.

In France she lived in a big house with goats, donkeys, sheep and a horse. Mileece says: "I was overwhelmed with a feeling of life and beauty that I have never experienced in the same way in the city."

Mileece moved on to San Francisco , where she attended a documentary film course and ran her own jazz show on the radio. Back in London, she completed her bachelor's degree in Sonic Arts and moved to Montreal to work on her own music.

Mileece's first album, Formations , was made at the age of 24. She combines the programming skills she acquired during her studies with Jon Gibbon's attempts to mathematize natural processes in order to translate the growth of plants into sound. The pieces on Formations are not composed through, but develop out of themselves, according to the algorithms programmed by Mileece . The album is dedicated to plants.

Mileece is currently working on her second album in London.
