about

Mahler, Symphony no. 5 by Ben Phelps is an album length un-making of the Mahlerian symphony.

Mahler, Symphony no. 5 by Ben Phelps is not an arrangement of the symphony, though it purports to be: it is part theme and variations, part deconstruction, and part recombination. Famous funeral marches and famous fifth symphonies make fleeting appearances. It is a post-modern takedown of the symphonic tradition, performed by a talented quintet- a “classical band”.

Spare the Rod!

Recently stumbled across this from an amazing group of modern chamber musicians. Far superior kazoo playing to my own. Ben Phelps

Anywhere But Here
by Anne Rainwater

An indescribable mix of the excellent piano playing and vocals of Anne Rainwater, with music by Jude Traxler. There's also some amazing uncredited vibraphone playing on Little Did We Know. Ben Phelps

Because Patterns
by isaac io schankler

Got to recommend fellow members of the local Los Angeles new music scene. Issac's music is mysterious and amazing in ways I don't understand. Electronic ways. Also, I produced the second track here. Ben Phelps
