About Me |
|
| Its always been about music, as a nipper I tried various instruments but landed on the Keyboard. My interest in electronic music production began at school, which must have been one of the only at the time (circa 1989) to have an Atari running Cubase in their music dept. Wasn't much cop at sports so you can guess where I spent my lunchtimes! I eventually went on to study a Music Production HND at Newcastle College, and have since worked variously as a sound engineer / Pro Tools operator.Keyboard player and long-time collaborator with Pest (Ninja Tune) I am establishing myself as an artist in my own right. Pest are currently in development of their 3rd album, and with the launch of the genre-defying Panic Bridge Records, we bring the wildly diverse talents of the Pest band members (myself, Thomas Marriott, Wayne Urquhart and Matthew Chandler) firmly onto the dancefloor. The first release is OUT NOW!! No.2 is out SOON and was mastered by yours truley. This year has also seen Black 'E' - a collaboration with Cristian Vogel, released on both Sleep Debt and Seed Records. I've also produced a few soundtracks & sound fx for short films, computer games & websites.I've been rocking my Korg Electribe live techno show around... Dj-ed and gigged for Pest for the last 5 years and completed a handful of UK / Europian tours in both capacities.Check out this live set I performed on Ill FM last month: http://www.illfm.net/archive/ILLFM-20070816-BenPest-128kbps. mp3 | |
