Artist History Ben had difficulty finding musicians with a similar vision and the ability to play well enough to reach it, and got sick of almost cliched band politics, so he started making his own music and playing all the instruments. Ever seekeing to expand his musical palette, he's ventured into totally different ground with each album. Shred came first on One Man Jam, followed by the harsh metal album Darkness Descending. More recent work has been along more experimental and soft rock routes, focusing more on interesting textures than on guitar riffs and solos.
