  What is SSO?
  • The Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra formed in 2008 as NYC's first, full-on saxophone orchestra featuring 12 saxophones from bass to soprano and 2 percussionists. "...fully embracing the spectral melodies and otherworldly timbres that emerge in multi-instrument settings...a haunting dissonant swoon like that of battling church organs, or a swarm of bugs." 
    

    - Village Voice, Christopher Weingarten Aug. 2009

    In 2009, the SSO premiered Terry Riley's "In C" at Issue Project Room and Miller's "Symphony of Suspicious Activity" at Brooklyn Lyceum. "In C" was recorded in 2010, and 2011 has thus far seen four successful concerts; The Gershwin Hotel, Shea Stadium, Society of Elders, and White Box.

    Plans for 2012 are to record Symphony of Suspicious Activity at Brooklyn's Kennel Studios. Other arrangements to be included are Tomorrow Never Knows and Are You Experienced? with vocalist Marianne Nowottny to be released by Abaton. Terry Riley's In C and John Cage's 4' 33' are also in consideration for a 2012 release.
