Ben Glas (b. 1992) is an experiential composer based in Berlin. Through ephemeral compositions Glas' work questions preconceived notions between the acts of passive hearing and active listening. In seeking to discover open ended forms of music and pragmatic listening perspectives, Glas' compositions focus on the realms of subjective perception and cognition, via the use of (psycho)acoustics, ambiguity, text and space as tools for both sonic and imaginary composition. His work has been exhibited and performed in spaces all around the world, including the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), Glasgow's Radiophrenia festival, the Soundwave Biennial (SF) and the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA). He holds a BFA from the late Pacific Northwest College of Art and an MA from UdK, is an (un)official subverted minister of Slack and also an active member of the Wandelweiser group.
