2012 – album by Benedict Roff-Marsh Berlin and Dusseldorf are two Schools of music that have had a profound effect on almost all of modern music whilst only being known and recognized by a relative few. I have long been a fan of Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. I am happy to show their influence in … Continue reading Berlin to Dusseldorf

Mountain & The Lowlands
2011 - album by Benedict Roff-Marsh Mountain & The Lowlands saw me return to the style of The Body Pool. I wanted an album that was a bit brighter and more New Age than Arcades. I had been listening to Kitaro's Silk Road which I had only just purchased and so much of what he … Continue reading Mountain & The Lowlands
Arcades
2011 - album by Benedict Roff-Marsh Arcades was meant to be about the last Space Shuttle trip but it didn't want to happen. What I ended up with was a dual meaning of arcades as; i) a place or passageway, ii) a place where video games were played in the 1980's. I am always amused … Continue reading Arcades
Fallen Leaves / Retrograde
2010 - double album by Benedict Roff-Marsh After the colder sound of Sections I wanted to make something warmer and more melodic. I started writing with little sense of direction other than wanting to make a record that flirted with Pop and New Age without giving up my own style. I slowly dawned on me that … Continue reading Fallen Leaves / Retrograde
Sampler – Growings
2010 - compilation of Benedict Roff-Marsh A plant grows or ceases to be plant. An artist grows or ceases to be an artist. Thankfully my music has continued to grow. Using my own full name was something I resisted for many years but I think it has done no harm, maybe even helped as using … Continue reading Sampler – Growings
Sampler – Collonades
2010 - compilation of Column 3-57 Column 3-57 was my reinvention as a Proto-Techno artist. I combined elements of my Aeroplastic Voice and Benedict musics into one style that attempted to find my holy grail. In places I got much closer and there is much that I made that I am still proud of. Eventually … Continue reading Sampler – Collonades
Sampler – Ages New
2010 - compilation of Benedict I wrote some almost New Age music whilst working as Aeroplastic Voice. I couldn't use the AV name so I used my own first name. The first album, Inland Sea, came as a surprise to me but I could never really let go of the style so kept revisiting, especially … Continue reading Sampler – Ages New
Sampler – Plastic Anger
2010 - compilation of Aeroplastic Voice Aeroplastic Voice was my first musical moniker. I wrote my first songs in mid to late 1989 and they hit the master tape in 1990. I started making music that probably belonged in 1980, graduated to EBM Industrial and then added grittier aspects as Hard Core and Grunge took … Continue reading Sampler – Plastic Anger
Sections + Structures
2010 - album as Benedict Roff-Marsh I love melody and pop songs (well at least those from the 80's) but it seems many people now want less structured, or more experimental, music. This appeals to me in some ways too so I thought for this project I would write something more minimal. Clinical even. I chose … Continue reading Sections + Structures
Lights Of Heaven
2010 - album as Benedict Roff-Marsh I stayed in space for Lights. Most of the album came together slowly in 2009. It was slow because I was back in a day job - and hating it. Sure it was money but the cost of getting it seemed too high. Looking back it was something that I had … Continue reading Lights Of Heaven
