Electronic and acoustic instruments blended with nature and atmospheric sounds create shimmering, shifting textures, both sparse and dense.
Bio / Background
The music on "On Water" rejects the notion that music must make a narrative statement, and instead embraces the idea of music as an organized sonic experience. These pieces are not portraits; they are rather landscapes or still-lifes.
These subtle, minimal treatments are reminiscent of Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" and Eno and Jon Hassell's "Fourth World" music. Ben's multi-instrumental talents shine through in this shimmering, floating body of work.
Ben has been a musician for twenty-five years and a recording engineer for fifteen years. His lifelong interest in music has taken many forms over time, from playing trumpet in jazz bands to singing bass in an informal renaissance music group. His interest in electronic music follows from interest in experimentation with musical formal structures, metrical and rhythmic complexity, and the wide sonic palettes made possible by electronic instruments and electronic manipulation of acoustic sound sources.
