Benjamin Nelson

Edition of 300. Miniatures was recorded between 2016 and 2018 in Oslo and Vienna. It is a collection of short electronic sound objects, situations, landscapes, or puzzles. With influences stemming from early minimalism and composers such as Eliane Radigue and Maryanne Amacher the influence of 80s home taper works such as those of Jeph Jerman’s Hands To and John Hudak can also be heard in Nelson’s work; eschewing the elements of pseudo-spirituality, passive listening and pastoral subject matter often associated with minimal oriented sound for a focus on rougher textures and objective listening.
