Salt Lake City duet
Amelia Rudolph (BANDALOOP artistic director)
Music Ben made for BANDALOOP's June 2018 Utah Arts Festival engagement on the facade of the Salt Lake City Main Library. The festival preview credits Ben with the score for the new six-dancer ensemble piece ('like experimental jazz', per Rudolph) and for Amelia Rudolph's short solo; the duet on the program used music by Daniel Bernard Roumain.
