Mileece Abson (born 1978), known mononymously as Mileece, is an English sound artist and environmental designer.[2] She makes music with plants.[1] She is the daughter of music video director Nick Abson.
Early life
[edit]Mileece was born in 1978 in London, UK.[3] Her father is Nick Abson.[4] She spent her early life in England and California.[1]
Career
[edit]Mileece's debut studio album, Formations, was released in 2002 through Lo Recordings.[5] Following that release, she toured with Múm, Mice Parade, and HIM. Her live show consisted of SuperCollider generative compositions with custom made instruments.[3]
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.[6]
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.[7]
She is featured in the documentary, Microfemininewarfare: Exploring Sound in Electronic Music (2016), alongside artists such as Mira Calix, Vaccine, Rucyl, and others.[8]
