About Benedict Mason
Benedict Mason, born on 23 February 1954, is a British composer. He was educated at King's College Cambridge and took a degree in film-making at the Royal College of Art. He did not turn to composition until his early 30s, but rapidly attracted attention from the European new music scene. His early works are decidedly postmodern in inclination, with considerable use of stylistic irony (some commentators have noted in these works a similarity to the music of Mauricio Kagel).
