The film's score is being created by Ben as the film is being created scene by scene, sometimes it starts with the music.
Apart from the brand new compositions that have been written, The music echoes the same process of the collage of pre existing material. A huge library of vintage optical sound effects that were used in the 1950/60's taken from rare film stock have been manipulated and re worked for many of the films foley and sound FX. Also some of the first music ever recorded on wax cylinder and wire recorder. With this Filmscore, new music is born from the seeds of over 100 years ago, and melodies and rhythms, voices and sounds come back to us. Its all structured using the most cutting edge algorhythms, and computer effects, as these sounds are loaded into the REMIX EXPERIMENT ENGINE created years back by Benjamin to interface with his machines with a more random and human feel, so no two performances are ever alike, and the human musicanship leads the electronic elements. Here's some of the musical footage long before the film was created
so you can get a feel of how its structured and performed

Remix Experiment is the name of a record released a few years ago through HYDROFUNK RECORDS
"It was the music that started this trajectory, But the concepts around it were compelling It was frustrating that not all audiences seemed to not fully understand the layers of work behind the performances, I knew there had to be more to connect them to it I just wasnt sure how to actually do that..Then the film idea started ...and I just followed it."

Remix experiment was a technological step forward to composition
although a huge advocate of live playing, Ben's love of technology and electronic music has compelled him
to experiment with a new range of gadgets and devices that deliver electronic music
in a very "human"way.
over 4 years of research and development he has pioneered a way of interacting with machines
that are purely driven by his energy and ideas, and like organic improvised music each performance is unique.
Melodies delays and bass lines are triggered by his voice and drum rhythms.
The whole arrangement breathes and follows Ben's natural musical decision
allowing improvisation to remain intact.There are no click tracks, NO BPM or play button
If there is no rhythm being played or sung the computers remain still.
But when human energy is generated, music seamlessly evolves around Ben's rhythm,
harnessing carefully detailed musical frameworks, devices that operate upon variables and randomization...
In simple terms...The Machines listen and behave organically
Apart from playing with sound Ben utilizes his love of VJing and Turntablism together
scratching and manipulating a visual collage, cutting an remixing a Mashup
of 50/60/70's and early 80's visual archive
using his new invention the gravity scratch. A unique device he created
which allows Ben to be able to scratch with the same dynamics & precision as he does on the drum kit.
Part art piece mostly a dance floor event, REMIX EXPERIMENT is one of those things
that could quite possibly only be born from the mind of an artist such as Benjamin Walsh, a human bomb of rhythm and melody,
The very gap between Human & Machine working in tandem is where REMIX EXPERIMENT comes into its own element
