John Also Bennett

John Also Bennett is an American composer and multi-instrumentalist who creates music that could be described as atmospheric, avant-garde, or minimalist. His debut solo album Erg Herbe, which used flutes, microtonal synthesis and field recordings, was released on Shelter Press in 2019. His most recent solo work, Out there in the middle of nowhere, adds a custom tuned lap steel guitar and is the result of a year of travel, using simple ingredients to engage with empty spaces, time and resonance on a glacial scale to illuminate a complexity and magic inherent within apparent nothingness. He has collaborated with countless musicians, artists and composers including Jon Gibson, Christina Vantzou, Jefre-Cantu Ledesma, Pauline Anna Strom, Zin Taylor, Peter Burr, and FORMA, among many others.
