Bio
An expanding collective of musicians, all active in New York's avant-garde art music scene, Benevolus expands and contracts to fit its settings. Inspired in part by the composers of antiquity to present, while also inspired by the classics of pop and psychedelic rock, the sound brought forth is both familiar and mysterious. Interested in the craft of songwriting with roots from the Beach Boys and Syd Barrett but also, in psychedelic sounds achieved by composers such as Ligeti and Grisey. Short and long form songs are juxtaposed with the hopes of creating a completely original listening experience.
Beppel, guitarist and song writing, and Brown, drums and song writing, are both respected composers of the new generation of American experimental composers. They have had their works programmed and performed around world in prestigious concerts and festivals such as MATA, Darmstadt, and Tzlil Meudcan among others.
