Happy #PortfolioDay! I thought I'd do something a bit different this go around, and offer an intro about myself.
Hi. I'm Ben. I work in weird instruments.

INFINITIES: 私の世界 is now 1 month old.
3 bonus tracks and 1 video were added to the album for the occasion. Simply re-download the album from Bandcamp to get the files.
One of those tracks is "Homeward -Memory-", heard at the end of the Final Trailer for INFINITIES: 私の世界. This track features a real music box, the Muro Box-N40 Sublime, recorded by Ben Elliott @BenElliottSound . A mesmerizing close-up video of the music box while it was being recorded was also produced, and was made a part of this update.
If you are among those whose physical copy was refunded because you live in the US, you may have lost access to the digital version of the album in the process. If that's your situation, please approach me, and I will grant you access to it again via an album code so you too can enjoy the bonus material.
Likewise, if you bought a physical copy from Daniel, don't hesitate to request free access to the digital version on Bandcamp.
Cheers
Hi friends, #gamesoundcon is this week. If you see me around, come get some free candy. Halloween's soon, after all.
This incredibly niche musical instrument that no one in the west plays has a huge problem and I need you all to know about it RIGHT NOW.
Have you ever wanted to spend an hour making a 15 second melody? Well now you can with a punch-card music box!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by for the premiere. Means a lot! Video is fully available now for anyone to check out!

Had the pleasure of cutting this little promo together for Triumph Audio's latest: Ghost Koil!
The taishogoto is a Japanese keyboard. And if you just play it like a keyboard, it can sound really awesome.
Hi friends! This Saturday, I'm going to be premiering my next long-form video! A deep dive into the "muro box." A playable, MIDI controlled music box! I hope you'll be able to check out the video when it's up! I tried my best to create something polished, and interesting!
Some people have asked me what the difference between a taishogoto and a violyre is, and boy do I have a 30+ minute lecture I could bore you to tears with.
It's funny, the name "bass" taishogoto is accurate, but I got mine before any other model, and I was using it for mid-range, and lead work. It's probably the best taisho to get if you just want one.
This album is fantastic. Aoki is amazing.
INFINITIES: 私の世界 is now available on Bandcamp!
I want to thank a2c @mellowjamstudio for accepting to be a part of this project. The album just wouldn't be the same without his incredibly expressive guitar performances, and I'm fully convinced that he was just the right person for it.
a2cさん、このプロジェクトで一緒に仕事をしてくださり、本当にありがとうございました！
I also want to thank Pei @kuroneko_no_pei for the beautiful album illustration, this gorgeous window into my world; he drew it exactly as I wanted it.
ペイさん、素晴らしいイラストをありがとうございました！
And thank you, all of you who keep supporting me on my pursuit of art.
The violyre is interesting. It's meant to be bowed, like a violin, but it uses banjo strings, so when you pluck it, it sounds like a banjo.
3D-printing sure does allow you to do cool stuff. Here’s a collection of really neat flutes Mauri over at Tele-Tunes makes. Super creative guy!
