John Also Bennett

John Also Bennett is a New York-based multi-instrumentalist and composer known for his immersive, genre-blurring work in experimental, ambient, and electronic music. Often wielding saxophones, synthesizers, flutes, and tape loops, he crafts textural soundscapes that feel equally cerebral and earthy. A collaborator at heart, he’s part of the minimalist duo Forma and has teamed up with artists like Christina Vantzou (as noted in their 2022 release) and Michael Harrison, blending acoustic and electronic elements into meditative, drifting compositions. His recent projects, such as *Ston Elaióna* and *Κλίμα (Klima)*, reflect his fascination with Greek landscapes and field recordings, weaving environmental sounds into his hypnotic loops.

Whether solo or in collabs, Bennett’s music feels like a slow-motion expedition—think dusky jazz motifs dissolving into modular synth hum, or pastoral folk melodies warping through tape hiss. Releases like *Tidal Perspectives* and *Music for Save Rooms* (a vaporwave-adjacent series) showcase his knack for creating zones where time stretches and dissolves. Rooted in improvisation but meticulously layered, his work invites listeners to lean in and let the details unfold.
