Bensnburner

Ben Krahl a.k.a. bensnburner thrives on the art of juggling diverse projects, each a unique journey of its own. A central masterpiece commands his attention, demanding time and delving into the depths of creativity. Yet, in the midst of this, smaller, more spontaneous endeavors come alive—each a burst of inspiration, a gateway to sidestep the pitfalls of overthinking, and a portal to fresh perspectives.

Amidst this creative symphony, Ben's current magnum opus takes center stage—an album sculpted from the tapestry of a decade's worth of private recordings. This journey began in his childhood, a tale woven through tape recorders, Minidiscs, mobile phones, and later field recorders. These recordings, not mere music but acoustic chronicles, encapsulate moments that stir emotions upon rediscovery.

A trove of sounds, harvested from daily life, tours, and ventures, reside within his library—a collection as diverse as it is resonant. It spans genres from doom metal rehearsals to the echoes of an indigenous tribe in a distant Taiwanese jungle, the curious melody of a friend's car being towed or the vast expanse of a 400-square-meter hall, where reverb dances for seven seconds.

Here, Ben doesn't merely remix or create. He curates experiences, weaving sonic tapestries from his recordings, embracing emotions as his guiding force. This alchemical approach uncovers hidden threads connecting sound and soul, transcending mere musicality.
