“Ben Osborne opens your ears to shimmering electronic delights” Time Out.
Ben is the founder of pioneering music and art organisation Noise of Art. He helped pioneer late night music events in galleries in London, starting with the National Theatre in 2002, followed by The Tate and BFI, National Maritime Museum and more recently National Portrait Gallery.
Through Noise of Art Ben helped introduce music and film events, and immersive film and clubbing from 2005 onwards, curating and programming events at Latitude, Big Chill Festival, BFI Southbank, Social Club Paris, Sketch, Queen Elizabeth Hall and more. He’s worked at the forefront of digital music and written extensively about music for newspapers and magazines (including for Music Week, the Guardian, DJ Mag, i-D, The Times and Independent On Sunday, amongst others). He is the author of two books, an Arctic Monkeys biography and a book on the development of electronic music and club culture (described as “essential” by Gilles Peterson). He’s programmed music at leading music venues, art galleries and unusual spaces and festivals.
In 2009 Ben’s work with electronic music, film and cross platform art was recognised by the PRS for Music Foundation, which awarded him a New Music Plus Award – supported by the Arts Council and seven major London arts institutions.
