Benjamin Finger
Oslo, Norway
Benjamin has been composing music with a healthy disregard for genres since 2007. His palette moves between psych-collages, droned out-jams, piano miniatures, classical minimalism, off-kilter pop, and an occasional stab at garbled dance music. A textural and emotionally resonant cocktail in a blurred, shimmering, and psychedelic world. Benjamin has played at various clubs and venues in Norway (both as an artist and DJ) and has also toured the United States. He performed at the Supernormal Festival, the Klangfest Festival, Echoes on the Road and ALARM. In 2018, he went on tour in the United Kingdom and also played at the Rewire Festival in The Hague (2018) with Mia Zabelka and John Hegre. He performed with the same trio at the 2019 Meakusma Festival in Belgium. In addition to making music, Benjamin works as a filmmaker, having studied at the University of Bergen and Oslo Photo Art School and the Film and TV Academy (NISS) in Oslo. Since then, he has completed several short films and music videos (for Trupa Trupa, Jozef van Wissem/Jim Jarmusch, among others). He has shown works at Fotogalleriet (Vårutstillingen for fotografer) 2001, Trondheim Open 2011 and Smiths Row (UK) in 2013.
