Modulisme Sessions 015 und 016 mit Benge und Eazy Teeth
Ben Edwards aka Benge is a composer, producer and collaborator, writing, recording, mixing and created his own studio: Memetune. Philippe Petit, founder of Modulisme, started working with him when he was doing Tennis (a duo with Douglas Benford from Sprawl Imprint) and released 2 albums on Petit’s label BiP_HOp.
In 2008, Benge released “Twenty Systems”, a concept album which featured twenty tracks made of twenty different synthesisers between 1968 and 1988 and an accompanying book describing the instruments and the development of the synthesiser in general. “Twenty Systems was called “a brilliant contribution to the archaeology of electronic music” by Brian Eno.
Since 2012, Benge has released a regular series of online solo albums via his bandcamp and iTunes pages. These albums regularly feature his “one-synthesiser-per-album” concept, whereby he limits himself to creating a full album using a single electronic music system, thereby developing the idea he introduced with Twenty Systems in 2008.
Paul M. Young spent the late 1970s and early 1980s playing the Serge live in the Punk Clubs and Art Galleries of Los Angeles and San Francisco under the name Eazy Teeth, a name given to him by Captain Beefheart as he was smiling a lot. He collaborated with many artists including Johanna Went, Z’ev and Jed Spear. At the same time, he was building Serge Modular systems, did road managing Captain Beefheart, managing Snakefinger and working with the Residents on “The Mole Show”.
