Ben Terwel, Netherlands (1989) is a sound and music artist exploring the possibilities of extending (analog) electronics to physical materials. His work evolved from his performances with hand-made electronic music and performance instruments (STEIM 2009-2010) to his series of portable electro-mechanical devices. His works usually incorporate phenomena in electronics/mechanics.

In his latest project, Klangpootklinkers, Ben aims to make people more aware of the sounds that are surrounding us by spreading a series of electro-mechanical creatures that harness objects around them as sound instruments.
