Benya Barshai is a multi-instrumentalist/composer who weaves together atmospheric melodicism along with beat-driven, ambient soundscapes.Following Benya’s graduation from college he began writing music which subsequently crystallized into his first 2016’s album release entitled “tohska”. The following year, another full-length release labeled “Time Stills” came into fruition - a heavily ambient inspired concept album which brought inspiration from nostalgic photographs and memories of one’s experience with the past. Writings of Albert Camus and Viktor Frankl sparked his third album release, “Longing In Paradise”. In addition to writing and performing, his fascination with film scoring led him to compile various film scoring projects with Mosfilm, Aggressive TV, and other independent filmmakers.
