Colin Benders

Colin Benders is a Dutch musician and producer known for his dynamic performances with modular synthesizers. Originally gaining fame under the name Kyteman for his work with The Kyteman Orchestra—which blended hip-hop, classical, and jazz—Benders has since reinvented himself as a modular synth virtuoso. His live sets are entirely improvised, showcasing his skill at constructing immersive soundscapes in real time using a sprawling array of patch cables and gear. Benders has carved out a niche in the world of electronic and experimental music, with releases that range from gritty techno to atmospheric ambient textures.

In recent years, Benders has been actively exploring the boundaries of modular synthesis both in the studio and on stage. His output includes tracks like “Vanitas (Remix),” “Sandpaper,” and “Far Away,” as well as collaborative performances and livestream sessions that demonstrate his deep connection to the analog world of modular gear. Whether performing at major festivals or streaming from his studio, Benders continues to captivate audiences with a blend of innovation, spontaneity, and raw sonic power.
