BPMoore is an English composer, multi-instrumentalist & producer born in Halifax in the UK. Influenced heavily by The Cure, The Prodigy, Lau and Talk Talk, his music blends new age, neoclassical instrumentation with the sounds of ambient, post-punk & pop.

“Komorebi”—a Japanese word with no exact English equivalent, but one that has been roughly translated to describe the sensation of ‘sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees’. This is the title of British composer Ben Moore’s debut album. The record is a collection of seven tracks, opening with the ambient “From All Who Came Before” and culminating with a building electronic piece of the same name: “Komorebi”. The genre is something of a mixed one: electronic and ambient music infused with organic-sounding instrumentation and spirited drum grooves. It is a pleasant amalgamation of Ben’s neoclassical, ambient, pop, and post-punk influences, and an epic of work that reflects the original intention of the album—a story of seven tracks that are intertwined and brought to completion. 

The final track that shares the same name with the album is particularly special to Ben: in his own words,“Komorebi was written for my stepfather, John, who passed away at that time. He was in his early fifties; it was sudden. He had this great enthusiasm for appreciating the details in the simple things; music, sunlight, a breeze, being with people you love, laughter—to mention just a few. This radiance he had for grasping and making the most of the simple moments in life is still a huge influence on me. Komorebi is a reminder of this.”

Integrating electronic and ambient elements, 'Komorebi' is a collection of richly textured cinematic pieces with peaceful, melancholic and hopeful atmospheres.
