Salt Lake Electric Ensemble

The Salt Lake Electric Ensemble (SLEE) is a unique musical collective based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 2009 by Matt Starling, the ensemble has a dual purpose: to perform and record Terry Riley's iconic 1964 work "In C," and to explore a wide range of musical styles. SLEE is an eleven-piece ensemble that combines visual/multimedia artists, electronic musicians, and members of rock bands like The Rubes and Tolchock Trio. Their repertoire includes interpretations of contemporary scores by renowned composers such as Philip Glass and Karlheinz Stockhausen, showcasing their versatility and depth in the music scene.

Recent releases by the Salt Lake Electric Ensemble highlight their diverse musical endeavors, including performances for dance companies and interpretations of classical works. Their discography includes titles like "Return: for the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company," "Philip Glass: Music With Changing Parts," and "Terry Riley's In C: 53 Rooms for Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company." This ensemble's blend of electronic and acoustic elements, along with their commitment to exploring avant-garde music, makes them a compelling presence in the contemporary music landscape.
