Picture from the event.
------------------
Three Free Radicals’ third album, Atlas of the Heavens, adds a voice to the electroacoustic avantimprov
ensemble, harpist Liis Viira. She joins fellow Estonian, guitarist Mart Soo, and Minnesotan liveelectronics
performer Scott L. Miller in this collection of free improvisations recorded in August 2017.
Miller and Soo’s collaboration continues at a distance since their 2015 debut album, Diary of a Left-
Handed Sleepwalker, a ‘satisfying release of experimental music by a duo that has a story to tell.’ (Vital
Weekly) and 2017’s Travelogue, ‘Highly recommended no matter where you stand on present-day
modern matters.‘ (Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review). For Atlas of the Heavens, they invited
Viira— another outstanding member of Tallinn’s fertile avant-garde improv scene—to join them in the
studio. Her approach to performing the harp employs the gamut of extended techniques, a liberal use of
kitchen utensils, and occasional singing. Viira’s improvisations include lush arpeggios and funky
ostinatos that perfectly complement Soo’s lyrical guitar style and Miller’s soundscapes.
Mart Soo has performed and collaborated with an impressive cast of international musicians throughout
Europe, Japan, and the U.S. from a diverse range of styles—jazz, classical, non-Western, improvised,
electroacoustic. In addition to his work as a performer and composer for radio, theater, and film, Soo and
pianist/improviser Taavi Kerikmäe have curated Tallinn’s most visible improvised music series since
2005, IMPROTEST. The IMPROTEST label distributes the music of artists who have performed on the
series, including Michel Doneda, Ninh Lé Quan, Isabelle Duthoit, and Xavier Charles.
Scott L. Miller has a long history of electro-acoustic collaborations, including with bass clarinetist Pat
O’Keefe (in Willful Devices), flutist Carla Rees, and the new music ensemble Zeitgeist. He’s best known
for his ecosystemic performance pieces and use of the Kyma sound design environment. He is Past-
President and Director of Recordings of the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the U.S. (SEAMUS).

Liis Viira has eclectic interests—composition, classical harp interpretation, improvisation, and
experimental animation. Since pursuing these interests at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre
and the Estonian Academy of Arts, Viira now performs with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra
and various chamber groups, composes for everything from solo instruments to orchestra, plays free
improv as Liz Wirestring, and makes experimental animation in her studio, Uniliis
Stuudio. www.liisviira.com
