Le Grand Carillon
in New Work
Benjamin has composed a suite of French songs that forms the basis of Puy du Fou's new attraction, Le Grand Carillon. The suite is written for an ensemble of folk instruments and showcases Puy du Fou's brand new 48-bell carillon, built by Royal Eijsbouts.
Puy du Fou is France's second-largest theme park, attracting over 2 million visitors each year. Le Grand Carillon will open to the public in April 2017.
Honda "Up"
Benjamin composed the soundtrack to Honda's new Civic advert, "Up". The film follows the ascent of Team GB climber Imogen Horrocks up a towering sandstone cliff, and the soundtrack was created using a bass clarinet and a nylon string guitar.
"Up" was created by Wieden + Kennedy London and the music was created for SIREN UK.
