Blanck Mass is the solo project of Benjamin John Power, who began making music under that name in 2010. His self-titled debut album, recorded in his apartment, featured ambient, droning electronic music that was both abstract and accessible. One of the tracks from this album, "Sundowner," gained recognition when it was used during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. Blanck Mass' second album, Dumb Flesh, released in 2015, was inspired by the flaws of the human form in its current evolutionary state.

Blanck Mass draws inspiration from a variety of artists and genres including Forest Swords, Steve Hauschildt, Oneohtrix Point Never, Roly Porter, Emeralds, Tim Hecker and more. His unique sound combines elements of experimental electronic music with a captivating intensity.

With each release under Blanck Mass, Benjamin John Power continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. His music resonates with listeners who appreciate thought-provoking compositions that challenge conventional norms.

This February the story of the infamous Unabomber Ted Kaczynski will receive its theatrical debut in a new Tony Stone directed film, Ted K. Kaczynski is notorious for both tragically murdering three people (and wounding an additional 23) via bombs sent in the mail and for his numerous writings on the evils of technology he composed during his primitive residency in the woods of Montana. Stone’s choice to have the renowned electronic artist Blanck Mass score the film is somewhat ironic and creates an obvious tension perfect for the controversial and complex subject matter. 

2020 saw the first Blanck Mass movie score, for the soundtrack to Nick Rowland’s acclaimed cinematic debut Calm with Horses. This expansion into new areas of melodic composition and textural exploration won Blanck Mass many new fans, with the BBC’s acknowledged number one film buff Mark Kermode proclaiming the work the soundtrack of the year. In 2021, Blanck Mass won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Original Film Score and has firmly established himself at the forefront of the latest wave of experimental soundscape wizards.
