Testimonials

“Ben went above and beyond what was expected of him. If you give him direction, he will take that and make you look way better than you ever intended. I'm not sure whether I want to tell all of my friends about him, or just keep him to myself.”

— Ryan H., Director

“Working with Ben has been the best and easiest decision I’ve made since re-entering the music world. He is insanely talented at what he does and never fails to give me exactly what I want out of a song. He creates an open dialogue and never makes the artists scared to create freely when working with him. I will recommend him to any artist 11/10 times.”

— Rebecca W., Recording Artist

“Ben is a dream collaborator. I came to him with an idea and a rough cut of an experimental movement-based short film--no dialogue to work off of, footage still in the early stages of post-production, unsure of where to start when it came to describing what I was looking for. He sent me a few rough drafts in response to my initial query and I was blown away by how accurately he had emulated the temp tracks while still being creative and true to his own aesthetic as a composer. He was a joy to work with, always understanding and relaxed in his approach to the collaborative process, while still being a consummate professional. I would recommend Ben to any production--he's just that good.”

— Zoe K., Director

“Ben was present for much of the process of creation and made himself available whenever necessary. He wouldn't stop at anything to make sure the music he created really worked with the piece. Even when it came to last second changes, Ben delivered. The result, especially for the show I brought him on to, was an abstract musical view of life and death. It perfectly reflected the content of the work he was composing for. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants a passionate worker on their team.”

— Vincent B., Theatrical Sound Designer
