Press Reviews "I listened to your CD for at least six hours. I just kept it playing over and over. It is some of the most beautiful and calming piano meditation music I have ever heard." - Kent Rautenstraus "Ben plays the strains and arrows of the world away. His latest rendering, "Ahimsa," has the power to carry us to a space that is quiet and calm...a masterpiece in which we all should delight." - Rickie Byars-Beckwith
