Ben Lukas Boysen

Ben Lukas Boysen has made a career out of transforming unusual sounds into compelling music. His first electronic compositions at 18 were experiments with samplers and tape loops leading to an album release in 2003 and the subsequent foundation of his own Berlin studio. Since, he has produced multiple albums (many under the alias HECQ), and released 3 LPs on Erased Tapes Records under his own name.

Ben has led numerous workshops on composition and sound aesthetics, as well as creating custom sound design for films, commercials, video games and installations. Some of his clients include Audi, Ableton, Lexus, Nike, Mazda, BMW, Polaroid, Marvel Comics, Sky, Cartier, Ritz Carlton, Google, and Swarovski. Boysen’s first film score for Restive premiered in 2011, and has been followed by scores for Sony Playstation game Everything (2016), feature film The Collini Case (2019), and Amazon Prime series Beat (2018) which won the DAFF award for best Television & Film Soundtrack.

In 2023, Ben co-wrote the score for Aylin Tezal’s new feature Falling into Place which he co-scored with Jon Hopkins. Following his involvement with Series 1, Ben wrote the score for the second series of Sky’s ‘The Lazarus Project’ in 2023 and co-scored Aylin Tezel’s new feature ‘Falling into Place’’ with Jon Hopkins. Most recently he scored the six part major thriller series ‘The Gathering’ for World Productions and Channel 4.
