Songscapes Podcast: Ben Cosgrove Episode Out

Ep. 4: Ben Cosgrove - Utterly Disorienting and Totally Exhilarating 

Ben Cosgrove is a traveling pianist and instrumental songwriter inspired by landscape and sense of place. “It’s important to have my music tied to something bigger than itself,” explains Ben in this episode of Songscapes. Find out how Ben has translated his inspiration from topographical maps, wilderness and his backyard into music. Composing everywhere from the open ocean, to Glacier National Park, to the “wonders and terrors” of Kansas, this episode explores Ben’s creative expression of place. And he’s not the only composer that interprets nature - we also learn about like-minded nonprofit, Landscape Music. 

Find Ben at BenCosgrove.com and @bencosgrovemusic on social media. Check out Landscape Music at LandscapeMusic.org

New Green Roster Band: Ben Cosgrove

We are really excited to announce a very accomplished musician and environmentalist to the Green Roster. Ben Cosgrove is a talented instrumentalist inspired by landscapes and place. Nature is clearly situated in his classical-folk crossover music. "By focusing single-mindedly on place/landscape/environment in my music, I hope to actively work against that human tendency to ignore the things around us." Isn't he the best!? What's more, is that he's held artist residencies at public lands across the US! Learn more about his eco-experience here.

Give him a listen and look out for his next show on his website: www.bencosgrove.com
