Benjamin Anderson (born January 28, 1974 in Tucson, Arizona) is an American musician and songwriter. His musical styles range from hard rock and industrial to electronic and ambient music.

History

Anderson was first introduced to music at an early age, singing and traveling in an all boys choir. Eventually his voice changed and he moved on from the boys choir. In high school he became inspired by artists such as The Cure, The Mission, and U2. This led him to pick up the guitar and later leave college wandering to Denver, Colorado where he recorded his first collaboration with James Baker and formed the band Rorschach Test.

Rorschach Test later relocated to Seattle where they were signed to the now defunct Chicago label Slipdisc Records (Mercury). They sustained a successful career during Seattle's lively music scene in the 90's. They toured North America playing shows with the likes of Korn, Type O Negative, Genitorturers, Queensrÿche.

In 1999 Anderson left the band Rorschach Test to pursue a musical journey in ambient and electronic music. Many of his ambient records were written as part of his art installations which also contained themed paintings and video.

In 2006 he united with Pamela Moore, a Seattle singer/songwriter, and co-wrote her most recent release Stories from a Blue Room.

He currently resides in Seattle, Washington, and is recording a yet untitled project with musician, Jefferson Angell who is also a member of the Seattle band Post Stardom Depression. See The Control Group for label information.
