Ben Brown Bio 2024
I am a musician and composer based in Montreal, Canada. As a drummer, I have
received a Juno Award with my group, Pugs and Crows. I have recorded on over 50
albums and toured extensively in Canada and Europe. I am also the artistic director
of Music And Movement Mondays (MAMM) and the Conundrum series for solo drum
performance.
As a person with conductive hearing loss who uses a hearing aid, I am developing a
uniquely embodied approach to playing percussion. I incorporate techniques of felt
vibration and deep listening to allow my whole body to listen. For my project, Sound
Sculptures, I play percussion on large-scale art sculptures in order to use these felt
vibrations as a tool for musical composition.

“Ben Brown is a rebel on the kit with an innovative approach to drumming.” Joy
Mullen, BC Musician Magazine

“a unique musical force” Mark Jacobs, Vandocument

“He brings a child-like curiosity to anything you toss at him. He is an outstanding
improvisation drummer.” Katie Duck, Discorder magazine. Interview by Brit
Bachmann.
