Premiere: B E N N dissects Taoist cosmology on upcoming album ‘Chaos and Order’

Taipei-based producer and founder of the always-exciting experimental label Over My Body, B E N N, is set to release his latest body of work, ‘Chaos and Order’, on December 12 with Precious Metals.

Drawing from Taoist cosmology, B E N N weaves fractured rhythms, collapsing structures and granular digital decay to embody the shifting interplay of Yin and Yang.

Across the EP, rhythms become rituals and forms exist in ‘states of perpetual disintegration and reassembly’, where glitch is not error but an aesthetic of imperfection and transformation.

Throughout, B E N N moves fluidly between post-club terrain and deeper zones of the abstract.

Our premiere, ‘殘燼 Embers of the Void’, “employs dance music not as propulsion but as a tool of dissolution” in a mind-bending listen where rhythm takes a back seat, allowing mutation and atmosphere to drive the track’s forward momentum.

Elsewhere, the project is scattered with ominous tones and engulfing sound design, each piece approaching its Taoist grounding from a different angle.

Together, the tracks unfold into a cohesive and singular front-to-back journey that fully captures B E N N’s uniquely experimental vision.
