With performances by:
Amma Ateria
IDHAZ & Emily Bouton
Miles Lassi
Performed inside and in dialogue with Miljohn Ruperto’s artwork Ultimate Days (Aion) (2026), Sublime Frequencies presents a series of scores exploring the sonic temporalities of a time beyond the apocalypse.
A simulated camera obscura, Ultimate Days (Aion) immerses viewers in a recreation of the day the 19th century religious sect the Millerites predicted the apocalypse. Over the limestone outcropping named Ascension Rock on William Miller’s farm in Whitehall, New York, the clouds blow in the breeze, the sun passes across the sky, but the apocalypse never comes.
Inviting audiences into a collective deep listening experience, Sublime Frequencies responds to the installation’s contemplation of time and nature, prompting a reflection on the ways we relate to an ever-changing world.
Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days is on view through April 18, and is presented in conjunction with the Cantor Arts Center’s exhibition, Animal, Vegetable, nor Mineral: Works by Miljohn Ruperto, on view through September 14, 2026.
Performer bios:
Amma Ateria is an electroacoustic composer working in psychoacoustics, binaural beats and equal-loudness contour. Her focus remains faithful to extremes of polarity in systemic spectrums — soft : severe, form : space, surrender : levitation, entropy : equilibrium—utilizing brainwave entrainment, time shifts, and neurological responses to DELTA, THETA, ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA waves as material. Born in Hong Kong, working in San Francisco and NYC, with memories of condensed cities, she gravitates to frequencies of close-ranged airplanes, polyrhythmic occurrences, out-of-body experiences, sustained harmonics intersected with musique concrète, and lost speech.
IDHAZ is a producer/vocalist/harpist whose work creates visceral soundscapes of undiscovered emotion, past, future, and fractured light. Emily Bouton is a violinist and visual artist that layers melody and texture in both mediums, finding catharsis in repetition and emotion in simplicity. As a duo, IDHAZ and Emily Bouton merge their individual crafts through improvisation and written composition. Their live sets throughout San Francisco have traversed varied landscapes, each filled with their own sonic ecosystems. Through their work, they hope to inspire flight, openness, and a deep welcoming of spontaneous self expression.
Miles Lassi is an interdisciplinary artist based out of Oakland, CA. As a musician, he has performed in over 150 cities throughout North America, Europe and Asia with many different ensembles ranging from the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall to national broadway tours like Ain’t Too Proud, Dirty Dancing, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. Miles is dedicated to creating new media and has done so at the New York Film Festival, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Apollo Theater, deYoung Museum, Joyce Theater, California Academy of Sciences, Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, A.C.T., SXSW and Snap Studios at KQED.
