Since 2016 he has leaned into full-scale production, weaving synths, pianos, live and programmed drums, and a MIDI-assisted trumpet into a cinematic blend of soul and jazz shaped by hip hop, a sound heard in collaborations with Eryn Allen Kane, Whitney, Knox Fortune, and on SZA’s SOS, which led the Billboard 200 for ten weeks. Resavoir’s debut album arrived in 2019 to strong acclaim, including an 8.2 from Pitchfork. That same year the live ensemble, featuring Akenya and Sen Morimoto among others, made its London debut at the inaugural Boiler Room Festival, then recorded at Total Refreshment Studios, yielding a version of Charles Tolliver’s Plight released by Blue Note on the Transmissions from Total Refreshment Centre compilation. After extensive studio work during the pandemic and a 2022 tour with Whitney, Miller unveiled a second self-titled Resavoir album in 2023, a refined studio statement featuring contributors such as Elton Aura, Whitney, Akenya, Matt Gold, Eddie Burns, Lane Beckstrom, Jeremy Cunningham, Irvin Pierce, Macie Stewart, and Peter Manheim. In 2024 the project shared new singles including Life Before, a Knox Fortune remix of Future, and a live in studio take on Love Theme from Spartacus, and closed the year with Orchestra Resavoir at Thalia Hall, expanding the music for an 18-piece philharmonic. The evolution continued in 2025 with Horizon, a collaborative album with guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Matt Gold, inspired by shared roots in Brazilian music of the 60s and 70s and released on International Anthem. Most recently, Orchestra Resavoir appeared at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. This appearance spotlights Miller’s continually evolving vision, where layered production, lyrical trumpet lines, and collaborative energy converge on stage.

Kevork N. Abazajian, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, presents an exploration of the visible cosmos and the hidden components that dominate it. Light from a trillion galaxies has traveled for over thirteen billion years to reach our instruments, yet the observable part accounts for only about five percent of everything that exists. Drawing on a UC Irvine tradition that began with Fred Reines and his Nobel Prize winning detection of the once undetectable neutrino, the talk traces that legacy to today. It covers ongoing searches for dark matter with X-ray observatories and the James Webb Space Telescope, why two precise measurements of the universe’s expansion rate do not agree, and how modern cosmology can determine the mass of ghostly neutrinos. It also considers the most challenging open problems and the Irvine theorists striving to solve them.

This storytelling walk explores the historic heart of Los Angeles, highlighting haunted lore and unsettling chapters tied to the old Pueblo as it grew from a dusty settlement into a major city. The route visits burial grounds, landmarks, and places where tragedy left lingering tales of restless spirits. Highlights include the Campo Santo by the Placita Church, once a Catholic cemetery for many Indigenous people and early immigrants, with accounts of remains disturbed by later development and an unmarked lot nearby. On Fort Moore Hill, hear about the original Protestant cemetery that was built over without removing the dead and how the site later housed schools and offices before becoming home to the Grand Performing Arts High School. The walk also notes the Old Jewish Cemetery and Old Calvary Cemetery near Chavez Ravine, both largely overtaken by subsequent construction. Within the Pueblo, the Avila Adobe is presented as the city’s oldest surviving residence, a onetime home, hotel, and temporary quarters for U.S. troops, where reports describe the sorrowful presence of Encarnacion Avila, often heard crying and sometimes seen as a figure in a rocking chair on the porch. Nearby, Pico House, the grand hotel created by Pio Pico, is cited for unexplained footsteps and doors found ajar, a reputation intertwined with the former governor’s dramatic rise and fall. The route also visits the site of the Chinese Massacre, where a mob attacked, robbed, and killed residents of Chinatown, and where lingering apparitions are said to haunt a dark alley. At Pelaconi House, the oldest brick structure in the county and now home to La Golondrina Restaurant on Olvera Street, stories focus on La Consuela, known as The Mistress, who has been sighted on the front stairwell. The experience concludes at Union Station with the notorious case of Winnie Ruth Judd, the Tiger Woman or Trunk Murderess, and rumors of apparitions and blood seeping from old trunks in the baggage area. The walk is led by historian and community organizer Shmuel Gonzales, the Barrio Boychik and founder of Boyle Heights History Studios.
