Career

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]
