Bio
Ben Böhmer is a Berlin-based composer, producer and live performer who puts emotional expression at the centre of electronic music. His melodic productions developed through Anjunadeep, where “Breathing” explored grief and “Begin Again” reflected the experience of separation. Piano remains important to his practice: an early teacher encouraged improvisation rather than dependence on written scores, an approach Böhmer later carried into synthesis and production. His live sets let him reshape and combine parts of his own music, taking those studio compositions into a changing performance. International touring and his 2020 Cercle set in a hot-air balloon above Cappadocia brought that format to a large audience. “Bloom,” released by Ninja Tune in 2024, opened the music to a wider range of tempos and song forms. Across these different settings, Böhmer treats melody as a way to hold melancholy, warmth and release together, rather than simply as a device for a club track.
