Benjamin Fay grew up in the Swiss town of Olten, where he received an education in itself from listening to the Freejazz records that his father owned. Aged 19, he decided to study the double bass at the College of Music in Berne. In 1999 he met Niels Jensen aka Dialogue, who introduced him to a large variety of electronic music. This resulted in Benjamin’s realisation that, unlike with the bass, he could compose music without needing an ensemble to perform his works.
