Benjamin D. Duvall

Benjamin D. Duvall (b. 1986) is a UK-based artist.

For this show he will present a mesmeric new piece for sampler, trombone, text and amplified strings, exploring his ongoing research into Aeolian (wind-driven) instruments and this native Sefton coast.

He is primarily active as the founding member and creative director of the Liverpool-based group Ex-Easter Island Head (2009-), whose work makes frequent use of the possibilities afforded by mechanical preparations and extended playing techniques of multiple electric guitars, tuned and untuned percussion and other instruments.

Benjamin is also active as one half of the duo Land Trance with regular collaborator Andrew PM Hunt (Dialect, Raft of Trash, Outfit). The group have released two albums to critical acclaim - First Seance and Embassy Nocturnes - their collaborative LP with Manchester-based group Aging.
