Ben Lukas Boysen is a highly acclaimed artist known for his unique blend of electronic and classical music. With a background in sound design, he has developed a distinct style that combines intricate melodies with atmospheric textures. His compositions have been described as emotive and cinematic, creating immersive sonic landscapes that captivate listeners.

Influenced by artists such as *Ocoeur*, *36*, and *Subheim*, Boysen's music takes listeners on a journey through various moods and emotions. Drawing inspiration from both the natural world and the human experience, his tracks are rich in depth and complexity.

Collaborating with renowned performers like *Rival Consoles* and *A Winged Victory for the Sullen*, Boysen has garnered critical acclaim for his ability to seamlessly merge different musical elements. His work has been featured in films, commercials, and contemporary dance performances, further solidifying his reputation as an innovative composer.

Merges programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. In some ways it continues where his underground debut 'Gravity' left off, though a lot of weight is lifted, making room for a lighter and more energetic listen. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered both albums. Ben is not a master pianist like his dear friend, but his sound collages are so meticulously designed that after hearing the result an impressed Nils declared: "from now on, if anyone asks - this is a real piano".
