Benjamin Flesser

Berlin-based composer and instrument builder born in 1986, with a background in hardware hacking and a focus on the artifacts produced by the tolerances and instabilities of analog systems. He performs with modular and hybrid synthesizers, custom electronics, and electronically amplified mechanical sound sources, working within metastable networks designed for spontaneous reorganization. His solo and collaborative work has been presented at Berlin Atonal, Blurred Edges Hamburg, and Silent Green Berlin, and released on labels including Cloudchamber Recordings. His research has received support from Musikfonds and Pro Helvetia.
