I started annoying my neighbours with repetitive 4/4 beats about 15 years ago when I bought my first set of decks and progressed to really pissing them off when I began making my owns tracks and playing the same loop repeatedly for hours on end.
I used to attempt to make melodic, uplifting trance, heavily inspired by the likes of Daniel Kandi and Suncatcher, but as I've gotten older, the bpm has decreased somewhat and I've started dabbling in the more chilled, ambient genres (hence the introduction of the Benjamin the Grey moniker!).
I also like coffee (probably a bit too much), cheese (the food, not the musical kind) and still retain a soft spot for grunge music (spent my teenage years listening to Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden etc, whilst bemoaning the fact that my life lacked any real angst).
Anyways, here's my stuff, hope you like it :)
Peace,
Ben

Thanks to everyone for listening to my music.
From my humble beginnings back in 1994, I was proud to be a part of the birth of PC based software synthesizers. 
I moved my attention a few years later to a hardware portable music sequencer known as the Yamaha QY70. Within the space of 4 years I had sequenced over 100 full length midi songs.
I knew then as I know now that these songs would not see the light of day unless I expanded on and improved  the originality of the sounds that were generating them in the first place. Many years and dollars later I now sit at the throne of a custom studio set up I built, comprising of 14 very different analog/digital synthesizers and drum machines.
99% of all my songs are live recording from my studio hardware synthesizers and drum machines, a rare voice sample or software synth may appear from time to time.
Very little time is spent post mastering, so what you get is a rough version of what I hear live from my machines, always proving that these wild beasts can be tamed!
All of my songs are uploaded in 32 Bit Wave Format for anyone out there to sample/chop for use in their own tracks, all I ask is a link to your own song.

**ALL TRACKS ARE FREE and can be edited or redistributed. If you wish for the project bones of any of my songs just ask.

Christer Holm makes his music totally in the digital domain. 

He has been making electronic music since the late 90's when he started in the Yamaha XG scene on the net. He was part of a group called #Cryogenic Emotions# which consisted of many members from around the world collaborating without borders. When that group was dismantled, he was a member of the group X-Static, which has recently made a small comeback, but leaving the XG synths behind and focusing on more modern technology.

One of his main music styles is using classic synth sounds of the 80s and 90's and mixing them with orchestral elements to create a unique hybrid sound. He also makes film score style music and what can be best described as trailer music, and even meddling with some metal from time to time.

His first self-made album is called Galactic Voyages and it is a totally synth based concept album with stories from outer space.
