Music & Composition

Estevan Carlos Benson is a first-generation artist, sound designer, and composer based in Los Angeles, California. His work addresses technology, culture, and creative exploration through custom-built tools. He has toured as a VJ with Erykah Badu, teaches generative design in Southern California.

As an artist and sound designer, Estevan reflects on the visual language and its relationship to sound. Each story could have its own identity and language. His instrument building—the creation of sonic devices and new sounds—can take a project into a unique world.

In 2010 Estevan won a remix contest held by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, for The Social Network soundtrack. He was recently invited to attend the VIFF AMP program for composers. He was a resident artist with the GFS/Konsonant/Sony Music Emerging Composer’s program.

“I really like the direction you’ve chosen with this mix. Smart, tasteful”
