MP3DB.pro - Ben Lukas Boysen

music since 2003, specializing in sound design and composition.
with a series of highly regarded albums as hecq on hymen
records, plus a busy schedule producing music for a number of
high-profile advertising, film and gaming clients, he has firmly
established himself as a forward-thinking electronic musician
and sophisticated sound designer. The focus of his every project
is to find an efficient and direct way to leave a strong
emotional impact, whether it is the production of an album or
the conception and completion of a commercial project. he
invests a lot of thought and time into every single piece of
work and therefore makes every production special rather than
settling with something fast and convenient. He is determined
that every score, commission, track, or remix should get the
same amount of attention and detail. in short: moving away from
music and sound as a product and perceive every project as a
customizable and individual challenge. a number of companies
like cartier, bmw, leica, greenpeace, lacoste or mtv have made
use of this approach for their commercials, websites and general
sound concepts. furthermore ben also designed a 'live pack' for
the widely recognised music software ableton live. restive is
not the first film ben boysen made the music for, but it is his
first soundtrack to be independently released as an album. as on
his previous works as hecq where he has already demonstrated his
ability for cinematic sound design, this soundtrack works
perfectly as a stand-alone release for those who are not
familiar with the movie. with its beautifully elaborate
compositions carrying dense moods from light sadness to
subliminal tension and disturbance, restive's music is strong
enough to speak for itself and to create a motion picture in the
listenerÆs mind. with a basis of mighty sub basses and partial
beats, dramatic orchestral ambience interweave with atmospheric
synthesized pads and deep reverberation carrying a continuous
imaginative suspense of something hiding right beneath the
shadow of a thinly layered sonic veil. listening to this perfect
symbiosis of electronic soundscapes and acoustic sounds, you can
draw a parallel between this release and hecq's 'night falls'
album from 2008. restive defines a journey through varied aural
spaces interspersed with sounds and tempers beyond the
listener's imagination.
