About Colin Benders

By the age of seventeen, trumpeter and synth musician Colin Benders was already touring Europe, South Africa and Indonesia. At the age of 22, he founded Kyteman's Hiphop Orchestra, with which he won numerous prestigious awards, such as the Dutch Pop Prize 2009, an Edison and a Silver Harp.

Nevertheless, a year later he decided that it was necessary to put an end to the project, although it had become enormously successful. He wanted to explore new avenues and formed the successor The Kyteman Orchestra. With this, Benders took a more classical approach, incorporating opera singers and a choir. As a result, more than 50 people were on stage at performances. In contrast to the enormous organizational effort of a project like this, Benders' next step with The Kyteman Orchestra was a series of entirely improvised concerts: no bars, no notes, schemes or keys were prepared before the musicians took the stage, only a sign language was agreed upon so that Benders could communicate with the musicians during the concert.

After these The Jam Sessions, however, Bender decided it was time for a new direction. Now there were no more shows with a full orchestra on stage, instead Benders stood alone in front of the audience again, with an orchestra hidden in some boxes, filled with mainly analog synthesizer modules. With this setup, which he built himself, Benders takes a polyphonic and harmonic approach that is both refreshing and reminiscent of the early days of the synthesizer era.
