Benjamin Lew was an enigmatic figure in the realm of experimental and ambient music, whose works were infused with a sense of poetry and ethereal soundscapes. A Belgian artist with a passion for photography, poetry, and the abstract beauty found in the realms of sound, Lew's contribution to music was rich and layered, often characterized by an eclectic mix of electronic and organic elements.

Throughout his career, Benjamin Lew collaborated with other notable artists and dipped his toes in various musical waters, but it was his solo endeavors where his artistic voice truly flourished. Albums such as "Douzième journée: le verbe, la parure, l'amour" (part of the Made to Measure series, Vol. 15) and "Tant de temps" showcase his ability to blend atmospheric synths with world music influences, creating a sonic tapestry that is both introspective and inviting. Through his artfully crafted pieces like "Le Parfum Du Raki" and "Nebka," Lew painted auditory landscapes that transported listeners to otherworldly places, highlighting his unique talent for evoking mood and emotion through music. His work, including "When God Was Famous (A Tribute To Poetry)," was a testament to his lifelong romance with the arts, leaving behind a legacy that continues to enchant and inspire within the avant-garde music community.
