    The Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra formed in 2008 as NYC's very first full-on saxophone orchestra featuring 12 saxophones from bass to soprano and 2 drummers. 
    
    In 2009, the SSO premiered Terry Riley's "In C" at Brooklyn's Issue Project Room.
    
     "...fully embracing the spectral melodies and otherworldly timbres that emerge in multi-instrument settings."
    
    - Village Voice, Christopher Weingarten, 2009
    
    SSO's unique single-timbre version of Terry Riley's "In C" was released as a CD June 2012 on Living Records (www.benmiller.info); distributed by Cuneiform Records.        
    
    "I'm sure this will be a first for saxophone orchestra." - Ann Riley
    
    NYC concerts have included The Gershwin Hotel, White Box, Manhattan Midtown Library, 17 Frost, Shea Stadium, Society of Elders, Brooklyn Lyceum and The Douglass Street Music Collective.
    
    Miller's Symphony of Suspicious Activity will be recorded at Brooklyn's KENNEL Studios in February 2013. This 40' composition explores Miller's own interval-based method.
    
    In regards to Miller's composition Glow White (soon to be released);
    "...a haunting dissonant swoon like that of battling church organs, or a swarm of bugs."  - Village Voice, Christopher Weingarten, 2009
