Ben Bertrand is a Belgian bass clarinetist and composer whose music deftly bridges the realms of ambient, classical, and experimental soundscapes. A master at manipulating his instrument with electronic effects, Bertrand creates immersive sonic worlds that are both deeply mesmerizing and rich in texture. His work is characterized by its innovative use of loops and electronic manipulation to expand the possibilities of the bass clarinet, often resulting in a hypnotic and otherworldly auditory experience.
Among his most recent releases, "Dokkaebi" continues to explore his fascination with ethereal sounds and the manipulation of acoustic instruments through digital means. His previous works, such as "The Aurae Loops" and "Manes," showcase his penchant for creating intricate aural tapestries that captivate listeners. With the critically acclaimed "NGC 1999," Bertrand solidified his place in the avant-garde music scene, producing compositions that are as intellectually stimulating as they are emotionally evocative. His live performances, including "Era / Area (Live @ Ateliers Claus)," reveal the dynamic and improvisational aspects of his artistry, providing audiences with a glimpse into the spontaneous creation of his unique musical universe—an exploration further documented in the standalone release "Era / Area."
