Ben’s approach to music is driven by a desire to break free from traditional rules, blending classical instrumentation with textures, electronics, and reverbs to create emotionally compelling soundscapes. His work continues to challenge conventions, whether in his solo piano pieces or his scores for visual media, always aiming to communicate through sound in innovative and deeply personal ways.
