bunsenburner

bunsenburner is a constantly evolving musical collective that began as the brainchild of bassist and producer Ben Krahl in 2012. Originally a one-man project, bunsenburner has since grown into an ever-expanding hive mind of world-class musicians, blending diverse influences to create a sound that defies conventional genre boundaries.

What started as a bedroom experiment quickly transformed into a collaborative effort as Krahl surrounded himself with like-minded artists from the realms of metal, jazz, and beyond. This dynamic approach has allowed bunsenburner to explore vast and vibrant soundscapes, characterized by their intricate compositions and an uncompromising commitment to artistic expression.

Now operating as a quintet, bunsenburner thrives on spontaneity and live energy. Their music is always recorded in full-band/live settings with few arrangements or overdubs, capturing the raw interplay between musicians. The result is a holistic, immersive listening experience that ranges from powerful, mountain-moving intensity to delicate, feather-light intricacy.
