r beny, the alias of Austin Cairns from the San Francisco Bay Area, is an electronic ambient musician known for his textured sounds and deep, immersive listening experiences. Cairns, who found his musical identity in the moniker "r beny," has been meticulously crafting his signature style since the release of his debut album 'Full Blossom of the Evening' in 2016. His work primarily revolves around modular synthesizers, through which he explores the delicate interplay between melodic structures and the more abstract elements of sound design.

With a discography characterized by meditative soundscapes and introspective melodies, r beny has earned a respectable position within the ambient music scene. Albums like 'Eistla' and 'Echo's Verse' showcase his ability to blend organic and synthetic sounds into cohesive, emotionally resonant pieces. Through releases such as 'Cascade Symmetry' and 'Saudade,' he continues to push the boundaries of ambient music, encouraging listeners to engage in a deep, reflective listening experience. His collaborative spirit is evident through remix projects like 'Bright (Valotihkuu's Brighter Recycle)' and 'Bright (Hilyard's Darker Recycle),' where he invites other artists to reimagine his work, leading to new interpretations that reveal the multifaceted nature of his original compositions.
