Ben Leeds Carson (born August 24, 1971, in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American composer and educator.
Biography[edit]
Early in Carson's life his parents did surveying work for the United States Geological Service; in a later radio interview, Carson describes geological influences on his approach to composition..[1] During graduate studies, as a resident artist at IRCAM (!999), Carson collaborated with psycho-acousticians Stephen McAdams and Daniel Matzkin in studies of musical form.[2] In 2003, Carson joined the music faculty at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He has served as a visiting scholar at Columbia University (2007-2008), and as an artist-in-residence at Shanghai Conservatory (2018)[3]
Music[edit]
Carson's music, often exploring themes of interiority and philosophical questions about consciousness, is informed by scholarship on Gilles Deleuze[4] and William James.[5] Early critics noted "a strong momentum and propulsion",[6] and complex voice organization,[7] both associated with Carson's empirical approaches to rhythm and form.[8] Collaborations involving Carson since 2012 have included By A Moment And A Word (Chicago: Sideband Records 8), a collection of recordings by Germany- and Austria-based musicians, which composer Richard Barrett described as "music being reinvented from first principles...as if every sound, every familiar interval, and, most crucially, every structural turning point, is being heard for the first time"[9]; critic Mark Swed mentioned the album's opening work, in live performance, as "a kind of acoustic acupressure".[10]
