Mesh Series 006: Ben Lukas Boysen

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, play out and what they listen to.


"This particular mix blends together many of the influences that follow me around in my every day work. Often the biggest inspiration lies in very basic harmonic structures or textures that’s why i combined some of my favourite ambient pieces with a number of, partially binaural, field recordings i took in the black forest last year. I’d love this to be an inspiration and relaxation tool that sparks ideas in good and bad times alike" - Ben Lukas Boysen

Ben Lukas Boysen has made a career out of transforming unusual sounds into compelling music. His first electronic compositions at 18 were experiments with samplers and tape loops leading to an album in 2003 and the subsequent foundation of his own Berlin studio. Since, he has produced multiple albums (many under the alias HECQ), and led numerous workshops on composition and sound aesthetics, as well as creating custom sound design for films, commercials, video games and installations. Boysen’s first film score for „Restive" premiered in 2011, followed by his debut album under his own name in 2013, and the award-winning score for the Sony Playstation game, Everything, in 2016 as well as Amazon series „BEAT“ in 2018 and the score for the  film adaptation of best seller „The Collini Case“ in 2019.

Thesis 16

& Martyn Heyne - June

Berlin-based composer and sound designer Ben Lukas Boysen is constantly experimenting with techniques and processes, crafting compositions that ease across sonic terrains.

Under his previous alias HECQ, he notched up nine albums that navigated everything from ambient to breakcore, now as a close family member of London's Erased Tapes - the left-of-centre electronic label who've become a home for the likes of Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds and Rival Consoles - Boysen continues his established scoring abilities that manifested on his acclaimed album Gravity, and then on his follow up, Spells, in 2016. 

Ahead of the release of Mirage, his third album for the label, Boysen takes the reigns for this week's Monday Is OK mix with an hour of soothing soundscapes and crunchy electronica...

Ben Lukas Boysen: The 'Monday Is OK' Mix

"Open Futures" is
an inspirational album, in which Singer/Songwriter Aaron Welsh and I travel to the fragile edge of western religious music. This album follows an inner liturgical structure that is very similar to the traditional stories of pilgrimage. Each song of the 5 songs featured in “Open Futures” evolves this concept through recurring musical motifs that echo and return in increasing harmonic complexity.
 
The opening track “Divinum '' is a word that can be translated to mean the infinite, the space of the divine and incense. The genesis of this song began through a recording made the day before Aarron’s first child was born.
 
“Standing At the Precipice” is a reference to Søren Kierkegaard’s notion on “the leap of faith” and answering the call to adventure.
 
During our recording sessions, Aaron and I would regularly discuss our significant life experiences and Carl Jung’s concept of synchronicity. “Everything Flows' ' captures the spirit of these conversations.
 
'The Road of Trials' is a reference to one of the key stages in Joseph Campbell’s model of “the story cycle” which is an academic study of the concepts of heroism, where the individual perspective is challenged through a universal experience.
 
When Aaron and I began collaborating on these in November of 2018, we left many other works behind
“The Place of No Return '' closes the album with a contemplation on self-transcendence. The song begins with a music motif that echoes the prologue track “Divinum” and bridges the listener to the final chorus, where ascending harmonies and open melodies create a universal story of discovery through surrender.
