OCTOBER 5th, 2024 – Matchstick Percussion performs my piece "Strands" on Millennium Stage at The Kennedy Center for their 2024-25 season-opener. This work was composed in conjunction with MSP's "Strike Anywhere" initiative.
Some concepts that inspired the creation of this piece include polyrhythms, metric modulation, and meditation.
OCTOBER 9th, 2022 – The Frost Wind Ensemble premieres my piece "ASSEMBLY", which won 1st place in the Frost School of Music Wind Ensemble Composition Competition in 2022.
The production process of an assembly line is often unwavering in nature, with the process moving promptly from one station to the next. ASSEMBLY is a piece for wind ensemble that can be characterized by its resolute pulse, motivic development, and dynamic structure– comparable to the nature of an assembly line.
PLEASE NOTE:
I am currently undergoing a bit of rebranding, so you may find that my legal name “Benjamin”, or my old branding “BKollermusic” still appears in certain areas.
