about

"Pyrocene"-the age of fire. The 2019/20 Australian bushfires prompted Ben to undertake this musical project. With his trumpet, synthesiser and Ableton Live he began crafting tracks. Initially these were intended simply for himself however soon a collaboration formed to create a video and the realisation that this music could serve the wider community.

Each track seeks to comment on a different aspect of the Australian environment and humans interaction with it. It uses remixed textures to create an ambient atmosphere that can frame Ben's gentle approach to the trumpet.
