"Deep Water composer Miller is the co-coordinator of PSU's Sonic Arts and Music Production program. Miller sat at a table in the front row during the performance, operating Ableton from a laptop and running a video camera. These electronic elements added a new dimension to the chamber opera, using synthesized sounds and manipulated field recordings to evoke a cold, post-human world."
""a post-apocalyptic fantasy opera that investigates rage, grief, play, & persistence in the face of gargantuan, destructive forces. Queer teenage companions Val & Bluejay chronicle the fall of humanity during the Anthropocene, acting as witnesses and documentarians and finding resilience through love and play. Deep Water positions 2 queer teenagers in the role of history-creation, defining what is worth preserving.""
