Based in a cozy cedar studio on the shore of Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, Ben brings over 25 years of performance experience on a wide variety of instruments, and a creative sensibility with one foot in the modern and technological, and the other in the exotic and traditional.
Ben's percussion and oud playing can often evoke a desert landscape and the rhythms of a camel's gait, while his drum set playing, synth lines and bass clarinet are distinctly modern, jazzy and entheogenic.
Ben is able to offer a wide variety of unique sounds, for example:
Godin MultiOud & traditional oud, 8-string tenor ukulele, baglama saz, Persian santoor (hammered dulcimer), electric guitar, custom maple drum kit, bass clarinet, sheikh (walnut) darbuka , tabla & doumbek, many unique tambourines & frame drums, Udu (clay pot) drum, and many more.
Ben uses Logic Pro and is well versed in synthesis, audio editing, and effects.
