Ben Chatwin

Ben Chatwin is a Scottish composer and electronic musician known for crafting immersive, textural soundscapes that blur the lines between organic and synthetic. Based in Edinburgh, he works with modular synths, processed acoustic instruments, and field recordings to create brooding, cinematic pieces that often feel like sonic explorations of geological forces or ancient landscapes. His releases like *Caldera* and *Verdigris* showcase his knack for balancing haunting melodies with glitchy experimentation, while reworks like *Saturated Signals* reveal his collaborative side.

Formerly active under the alias Talvihorros, Chatwin has evolved into a respected solo artist whose work drifts between ambient meditation and abrasive electronic tension. Albums like *The Beginning* and *KLASIS* demonstrate his love for dramatic dynamic shifts, where delicate piano motifs might erupt into waves of distorted noise. When he’s not sculpting albums for labels like Village Green, he occasionally dips into scoring for film and multimedia projects, further proving his music’s narrative pull.
