That same year, he was commissioned by Mount Alison University Professor Linda Pearse to write music and conduct for her group Sachabuche. The project was called How do We Listen? And was a unique collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous musicians and scholars. My three-part composition, “When you love a river,” weaves together 17th century sacred instruments (sackbuts, voice, organ theorbo, baroque violins), Indigenous singing and drumming (Wolastoqoyik, Mi’Kmaq), spoken word, and live-performed soundscapes. Having recently visited a museum exhibit on Leonard Cohen, Joel’s approach to composing was to leave “cracks” (spaces) in the music where the “light” (Indigenous creations or improvisations) would come in. https://www.joelmillermusic.com/scientific-research-collaboration-and-commission daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625420e06829cc786bf78e25/1649698598148-5GX6ZCCTQ2C92FZ5934A/IMG_1765.JPG Scientific Research collaboration and commission - Scientific Research collaboration and commission 2010-2016 In 2010 Joel received a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts to develop a new media work in collaboration with University of California San Diego (UCSD) research scientist Dr. Tamara Smyth at Simon Fraser University and CIRMMT in Montreal. The project included physical modelling and developing a MIDI instrument with programmers Jenifer Hsu at UCSD and Nicholas Esterer at McGill University. Some of this work is featured on Joel’s piece Ta da! from Dream Cassette (Origin Records 2016). https://www.joelmillermusic.com/featured-guest-sax daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625420e06829cc786bf78e25/1651103752684-M5O8GUDXTUM1L7PWC40H/jun272015_2142.jpg Featured Guest Sax - Featured guest saxophone soloist and composer in large ensembles 2008 In 2008, Joel was commissioned to orchestrate his piece Dropoff for the Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra. They performed internationally with notables such as Ingrid Jensen soloing on trumpet and Steve Wilson on saxophone at Dizzy’s Cocacola in NYC. Dropoff is featured on Christine Jensen’s Juno-winning album Treelines (Justin-Time Records). https://www.joelmillermusic.com/en-duo daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625420e06829cc786bf78e25/cd61470c-321c-4828-9ab7-9b5cae1f0e96/IMG_1767.JPG En Duo - En duo avec Jean-Michel Pilc 2016 In 2016, Montreal became the very lucky home of France-born piano maestro Jean-Michel Pilc. Whenever and where ever Jean-Michel joins in any music situation, it’s always intensely exciting. En duo with Joel they’ll be sure to dig in to something fun, perhaps a little crazy, but definitely original. https://www.joelmillermusic.com/brazil-in-montreal daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625420e06829cc786bf78e25/a0f35f18-906f-4648-8594-9962d7e6da58/IMG_1768.JPG Brazil in Montreal - Brazil in Montreal March 2018 Recently, Joel Miller has immersed himself deeper into Brasilian music: Choros, Frevos, Sambas, and Baiao; with Brasilian flute virtuoso Nilton Antonio Moreira Jr.. He will be joined by brilliant mandolinist Rodrigo Simoes on Mandolin and guitar maestro Caio Marcio Santos to play music from Brasilian composers such Hermeto, Djavan, Pixinguinha and some of Joel’s compositions that he’s adapted for this trio. https://www.joelmillermusic.com/mcgill-winds daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625420e06829cc786bf78e25/1650567161261-KAMALUAVT1IKRHG57I04/IMG_1753.JPG McGill Winds - McGill Wind Symphony 2018 In 2018, the opportunity to write for the McGill Wind Symphony presented itself with an invitation from Professor Alain Cazes. With the encouragement of John Rea, Joel successfully adapted his piece What You Can’t Stop to the Wind Symphony. https://www.joelmillermusic.com/joe-armando daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625420e06829cc786bf78e25/1650569080211-D8E87LM9U9M02E344N6O/IMG_1764.JPG Joe Armando - Joé Armando Collaboration 2000 Music has led Joel to amazing places like Peru, India, Japan, Scandinavia and France; musical collaborations and kinships in Montreal infused me with Afro-Peruvian, Columbian, and Cuban musical vocabularies. One of Joel’s first mentors in Latin music was Columbian-born timbalero Joé Armando. His piece For Joé was performed at the Montreal International Jazz Festival and featured on his 2000 album …and then everything started to look different…
