Rachael Lincoln (directed the BANDALOOP gig); 2018 sextet by Amelia Rudolf and Melecio Estrella · BANDALOOP for Toyota
Music commissioned for a BANDALOOP vertical dance performance at a Toyota corporate event in Plano, Texas (July 2-7, 2017). The client rejected Ben's demo, and the producer's own music partner supplied the final track. In 2018 BANDALOOP reused and extended Ben's unused track for a new vertical sextet by Amelia Rudolf and Melecio Estrella, first shown at an open rehearsal on the Great Wall of Oakland.

- The unused Toyota music (the 'Toyota cast off' that begins with a drone-like sound) was used in rehearsal for a BANDALOOP sextet by Amelia Rudolf and Melecio Estrella. The sextet was shown at BANDALOOP's open rehearsal at the Great Wall of Oakland (Apr 2, 2018, per BANDALOOP's 2018 performance history; the rehearsal photo album was titled 'GWO/GWPC 2018'). Ben extended the track in April 2018 and kept revising it with Amelia through May 2018 (version 1.8 on May 15-16, 2018, which Amelia flagged as the version 'for next week', when BANDALOOP held open rehearsals at Oakland Civic Center, May 22-26, 2018). In August 2018 the sextet was due to be performed publicly; the venue is not confirmed.
