Benjamin O'Brien
Benjamin O'Brien is a composer and guitarist. His compositions are inspired by the principles of certainty and chance as they relate to music and ultimately form a cohesive musical expression. He composes finite musical arrangements sequenced at random, and restrictive organized structures designed to cultivate an environment of improvisation. Benjamin writes both acoustic and electro-acoustic/computer music (Max/MSP, SuperCollider) and performs in a variety of ensembles.
