Benjamin Halliday
Music Producer & Sound Engineer
Benjamin has been writing, recording and producing music for about 15 years. His main preoccupation is music production and sampling, and he likes to experiment with audio textures and incorporates them into his projects.
He plays a few instruments, but mostly composes using a combination of the Reaper DAW with Maschine and Arturia virtual instruments. He is currently creating ambient audio stories and experimenting with binaural composition. For him, it’s a very exciting time to be an audio and music nerd.
When he’s not playing rockabilly songs on his guitar, Benjamin writes children stories and tends his vegetable garden. He spends some sunny afternoons in one of Portugal’s beaches, listening to the chorus of seagulls accompanied with the sound of waves from the Atlantic.
