Happy #PortfolioDay! I thought I'd do something a bit different this go around, and offer an intro about myself.
Hi. I'm Ben. I work in weird instruments.

Introduction
Here's a little video about who I am, and what I do.
Hi friends, #gamesoundcon is this week. If you see me around, come get some free candy. Halloween's soon, after all.
This incredibly niche musical instrument that no one in the west plays has a huge problem and I need you all to know about it RIGHT NOW.
Have you ever wanted to spend an hour making a 15 second melody? Well now you can with a punch-card music box!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by for the premiere. Means a lot! Video is fully available now for anyone to check out!

Had the pleasure of cutting this little promo together for Triumph Audio's latest: Ghost Koil!
The taishogoto is a Japanese keyboard. And if you just play it like a keyboard, it can sound really awesome.
Hi friends! This Saturday, I'm going to be premiering my next long-form video! A deep dive into the "muro box." A playable, MIDI controlled music box! I hope you'll be able to check out the video when it's up! I tried my best to create something polished, and interesting!
Some people have asked me what the difference between a taishogoto and a violyre is, and boy do I have a 30+ minute lecture I could bore you to tears with.
It's funny, the name "bass" taishogoto is accurate, but I got mine before any other model, and I was using it for mid-range, and lead work. It's probably the best taisho to get if you just want one.
This album is fantastic. Aoki is amazing.
INFINITIES: 私の世界 is now available on Bandcamp!
I want to thank a2c @mellowjamstudio for accepting to be a part of this project. The album just wouldn't be the same without his incredibly expressive guitar performances, and I'm fully convinced that he was just the right person for it.
a2cさん、このプロジェクトで一緒に仕事をしてくださり、本当にありがとうございました!
I also want to thank Pei @kuroneko_no_pei for the beautiful album illustration, this gorgeous window into my world; he drew it exactly as I wanted it.
ペイさん、素晴らしいイラストをありがとうございました!
And thank you, all of you who keep supporting me on my pursuit of art.
The violyre is interesting. It's meant to be bowed, like a violin, but it uses banjo strings, so when you pluck it, it sounds like a banjo.
3D-printing sure does allow you to do cool stuff. Here’s a collection of really neat flutes Mauri over at Tele-Tunes makes. Super creative guy!
I wanna thank everyone who said kind words to Henry. I told him about all the nice people wishing he’d get better, and how they cared. I know he appreciated it. Appreciated it lots. I stayed with him the whole time until he informed me he had some important things to go do.
My good friend Henry went off on a big adventure today. I probably won't be joining him for a while, but I know wherever he's heading to, he's gonna have a great time.
