Ben Sloan
Ben Sloan is a percussionist, producer, and visual artist. For years, as a drummer and hired gun, Ben provided a powerful and appropriately unhinged rhythmic bed for others’ music, while his sound and production simmered in the background. Starting in 2012, he began touring with WHY? taking on double drum duty alongside Josiah Wolf, and cutting his teeth as a full-time touring musician.
Along the way, he has recorded and performed with The National, Moses Sumney, Beth Orton, Mouse on Mars, Helado Negro, Rozi Plain, Shara Nova, and Nate Brenner, many of whom appear on ‘muted colors’ as a part of an ever-expanding constellation of collaborators. Beyond touring, his artistic practice continues to evolve through participation in a variety of Artist Residences; The National’s Homecoming Festival (2018), 37d03d Berlin (2018), and BANFF Arts Center (2020).
Ben currently works as a freelance producer, composing new music and sound design for Emmy Award-winning films, documentaries, and brands, including The North Face, The Smithsonian, and Arcteryx.
