benjamin nelsonheat field modulation for pathetic string and electronics” compact disc-recordable

  • heat field modulation for pathetic string and electronics (29:04)
august 2011 release ; ... a joyous expansion on elemental themes, presumably sourced to the composer’s own cello & eurorack modular synthesizer stylings, whittled down to a mono-tonality that shares much with recent pieces by tashi wada, arnold dreyblatt, tony conrad, et.al ...

excellent work from one of boston’s more under-rated musicians, heard here in his prime ...

  • life in blue and gray (28:42)
august 2011 release ; ... one of a concurrent pair of label-less, self-issued discs from boston-area composer benjamin nelson, readied in anticipation of a joint tour with eli keszler ...

across a single 30-minute piece, benny wrangles an impeccable array of subtly phasing overtones out of a finely tuned bank of sawtooth oscillators, yielding an almost tangible mist of synchronized beat frequencies that recall aspects of richard lainhart & even eliane radigue’s more formative work ...

comes in a striking slim-line rife with negative space ...

  • standing field
december 2009 release ; debut release from benjaminbennynelson, only one of a new wave of boston-area long-form sound producers currently causing a commotion in our fair city’s hallowed halls ...

two gradient-shift pieces ; the first a room recording of a straight analogue synth creeper (rich with buzzing sawtooth waves created an almost palpable thickness of upper-harmonic “dancing”) then a direct-to-glass computer music piece utilizing the harmonic series to yield an almost phill niblock-ian ring ...

excellent stuff ; just the thing to tide us all over until benny’s split lp (with fellow traveler brandon terzakis) drops on our in-house no label in 2010 ...

sem-005 benjamin nelson - c42

benjamin nelson's first boston show performing on modular synthesizer took place at semata's own series, opening up for john wiese in september 2008. 'live at the piano factory' features benjamin's set in its entirety, full of rich micro details and demonstrating masterful control of the instrument.

very different to his previous work as a live member of f/i/t/h and playing electronics for the rock band tides; benjamin's work now tends to focus on the extremes of musical duration, density and volume - or the lack thereof. a name to look out for in the fields of minimalism, drone and electro-acoustic composition.

edition of 100: pro-dubbed on white type ii high bias cassettes with 2-panel jcard, silkscreened shells & shrink-wrapping.
