Benjamin Martinson (b. 1987), a native of Alaska, is a graduate student of composition at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Butler University, where he studied composition with Michael Schelle, Frank Felice and James Mullholland, and voice with counter-tenor Steven Rickards.
In 2006, Benjamin was a winner of the National MENC Student Composition Talent Search with his SATB choral work, Agnus Dei. He was commissioned in 2008 by the American Pianists' Association to write Little Drops of Falling Sleep for the APA Fellows Solo Piano Competition. In 2012, he was selected to perform his work, One, for harmonic overtone singer and electronics, at the national convention for the Society for Electroacoustic music. His works have been performed in such notable venues as Wesley's Chapel, London; Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin; and Assembly Hall, Salt Lake City.
Benjamin has written for a variety of ensembles and media, spanning from SATB choir to interactive electronics, from baroque ensemble to the iPhone. All of his output is influenced deeply by his experience as a vocalist, his work as a programmer/designer, and his passion for early and contemporary music. He is published by Colla Voce Music.
