Ben Bertrand is a Belgian bass clarinettist and composer.
Through a blend of classical instruments and countless machines, Bertrand weaves intricate live sets characterised by a hypnotic web of sounds, using a vibrant selection of effects to create unusual soundscapes that confuse perception – sounding both at once electronic and acoustic. Alongside his release of records including Era/Area (2017), NGC 1999 (2018), and Manes (2020), Bertrand has performed at events including Meakusma Festival, Ancienne Belgique, Le Lieu Unique, BRDCST Festival, Schiev Festival, Le Guess Who?, World Minimal Music Festival and Rewire. His most recent album Dokkaebi, was released by Les Ateliers Claus in 2021.
