Ben Kusel (Ambient Page)
This artist page reflects my fascination with sound as both texture and experiment. I became captivated by bands like my bloody valentine and Death Grips for their refusal to use sound in traditional ways, instead bending noise, tone, and rhythm into something entirely new. Their work opened a door for me, showing how sound could be more than melody or structure. It could be an adventure into the unfamiliar. That same spirit drives my own practice, where I search for unexpected audio, explore how it can be recontextualized, and experiment with how it reshapes music and mood.
