Ben Johnston

Published: March 21, 2015, 6 p.m.

Acclaimed micro-tonal composer Ben Johnston is justifiably famous for   his rigorous work ethic, attention to detail and for constructing a   sound world entirely his own.

\n

One of the few composers using just intonation who is also interested  in writing rhythmic music, Johnston is  a true original and we\u2019re happy  to shine the spotlight on this modern  master.
