Ben's unique live sound is a culmination of years of musical exploration. Using loop technology and dreamy effects for live performances, his spellbinding originals and captivating covers create a spiritual resume of his life experience. Ben's influences are varied and sophisticated, and his songs take twists and turns as he explores the relationship between technology and jamming, and expands upon musical and emotional ideas.
