About

I’m Ben Osborn, a producer, composer and sound designer from Oxford, UK, now based in Berlin, Germany. My work blends poetic folk, electronic and classical music, weaving ethereal strings, electronic beats, dreamy piano, and expressive personal and political narratives. I have worked on multiple podcast projects as a producer, sound designer, sound editor and composer, including doing the sound production for Dear Poetry for Audible.

I’ve written for theatre, opera and dance, directed and produced collaborative projects, and run Open Music Lab in Berlin to provide free education for marginalized music creators. I’m passionate about how sound, story and performance come together on stage and screen, and I’m always seeking new collaborations across borders and disciplines.
