Slow, quiet, sometimes serene, sometimes anguished, melodic. That would be some of the terms to describe the ambiances along this instrumental album of Ben, the third on our site. All tracks are original compositions from him.
Mixed and produced specifically for 5.1-multichannel, the album benefits from this special "3D" atmosphere, while avoiding the pitfall of falling into over-used special effects with panoramic front / rear / left / right - or at least using it artistically.
Contrary to the previous album, The musical styles on the album range from pure guitar to electro beatbox and guitar mixes. The compositions are also subtle mixes of melody and dissonance,
repetition and change, metronomic beats and guitar letting go.
An album of interest, like all albums on our site.

 | Arts Of Truth
'Arts Of Truth' is the second solo album of the guitarist Ben. The album is entirely produced in 5.1-surround sound and only available here on MySurround.com.
Ben demonstrates once again his versatility with an album composed (partially improvised as well) and played entirely on a classical guitar.
The 5.1-surround sound is stunning and greatly helps to take advantage of the different ambiances across the album, which are mostly calm and somehow enchanting.
The titles in the album refer to the seven 'liberal arts', i.e. an antique education which aimed to develop rationality, intellectual capacities and, ultimately, freedom and knowledge of truth.
These arts are, by order in the album, grammar, rhetoric, logic, music, arithmetic, geometry and astronomy.
The first track has different atmosphere changes. The second develops alternate moods upon a musical pattern. The 3rd reminds the usual structure of a soft track.
The 4th track is the only title with two instruments. It has a dark, mysterious and gloomy ambiance.
'Ar Numerat' continues in the same dark atmosphere but with a touch of melancholy. So does 'Geo Ponderat'.
'Ast Colit Astra' closes the album with rather nerve and ardour.
