Ben Matney

Composer

Aurora is a forthcoming album examining the porous boundaries between memory, landscape, life and death. Rooted in the swamps and coastal landscapes of North Carolina, it brings together acoustic instruments, electronics, and voice in a series of intimate, sometimes unsettling compositions.
