Similar Artists i think i've developed my own sound, truthfully, but i have been compared to autechre, download, aphex twin, NIN, µ-ziq, cylob & björk's producers. not sure if i sound like some of these. it's me.

Artist History i have been trained classically on piano for about 10years. i discontinued lessons in my freshman yearof high school. since grade 2, i have been writingrather odd & repetitive songs. just when i was aboutto give up & take a more conventional route, i foundthe beauty of electronic music & its loose song forms.this is the perfect way to express myself. hopefully you'll be able to get the feelings i try to put behind the sounds. if not, feel your own.

Press Reviews "Another promising artist is Precenphix (precenphix@ezonline.com), AKA Ben Rabenold of Mechanicsburg, PA, whose untitleddemo really caught my ear. Ben, who works w/aminimal equipment setup, has sent material to Planet Mu and actually gotten a response. Fromthe first barrage of Aphex-melodious IDM to laterexcursions into ambience, intelligent drum 'n bass, and experimental breakbeat, it's easy to see why Precenphix might catch the notice of someone likeParadinas. Nice rythms, deep melodies and far-reaching ideas all come together to create some verysolid electronic soundscapes." - Walt Miller, Editorof FAQT Magazine (volume 3, issue 2)...
