“It’s a sort of furtiveness … Like we were a generation of furtive. You know, with an inner knowledge there’s no use flaunting on that level, the level of the ‘public’, a kind of beatness – I mean, being right down to it, to ourselves, because we all really know where we are – and a weariness with all the forms, all the conventions of the world … It’s something like that. So I guess you might say we’re a beat generation.”
― Jack Kerouac

Benjamin Akira Tallamy is a British-born solo artist from Exeter.

Renowned for his dark, challenging lyrics and inventive musical style, his fairytale-esque songs often interweave themes of murder and lost-love - utilising quirky song-structures and timing, to almost theatrical effect.

Although his work draws on countless musical influences, it is often his intense vocal style which is most affecting – raw, haunting and tainted with a playful malevolence, his words cut to the bone. 

Musique & images improvisées.

MOONKAYAK est le nom qu'ont donné quatre aventuriers à leur navire, capable de voguer vers tous les ailleurs. 
Une pirate des mers d'images et trois explorateurs des océans sonores barrent sur ce brise glace dont le carburant est l'énergie de l'instant. 

As a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, I’ve had a varied career playing drums and vocals for many bands including platinum selling group The Seahorses. I’m also a classically trained guitarist, having played sessions for artists including Stuart Staples of Tindersticks, written songs with Roger Goslyn (Jools Holland's RnB Orchestra), and played countless solo shows performing my own material.

I've been commissioned to write music for radio, including a piece that celebrated 30 years of Bohemian Rhapsody which you can listen to on the media page. 'Rhapsody in Bohemia' won best documentary at the Third Coast Audio Festival.

As a graphic designer, I've worked at most major ad agencies in London on blue chip accounts involving print, radio and television.

I've also been involved in education, having taught in a variety of contexts including colleges and prisons. I'm constantly writing and exploring new material.

Recently I've been creating more film based work and radio documentaries.

Ultimately, music underpins everything I create.
