Took delivery if THIS bad boy on Friday 😋 It's a Marcus Miller V7 5 string, and I can tell you it is a delight to play. Look at that shiny fretboard... First outing will be a wedding gig in July... Can't wait! 🎸

It’s hard but rewarding being a creative, and I’m incredibly lucky to be able to celebrate more than 15 years supporting other artists, acts and agencies with my creative endeavours. I’m open for more work now – what do you want to create? find it all at bentriggmusic.com

Great to see last night with .piano looking and sounding great – and to sing SO MANY great songs back to back. What a movement 🙌🏻

Working hard... Or hardly working? The Chromatones 4-piece (me, .josh taking a break in the middle of an intense afternoon run-through for some summer gigs. Sounding lovely boys!

Beautiful time of worship last night with Colkins Mill church in East Sussex, with and others

Here's That Rainy Day but it's in 7/4.

Which isn't that big of a deal really but you have to come up with something to make people watch it. Just a bit of fun mostly.

Tell me you’ve been playing a 12-string guitar without telling me you’ve been playing a 12-string guitar

I last took this rig out on the road at the end of September. Having had a little break from playing for a few months to allow a part-time job to settle in, I'm ready to get back on the road and playing again. https://buff.ly/3Bijt88 has details of live acts you or someone you know could hire. Keep music live!

Ben Trigg Music is open for business in 2024!

I've recently started a new role with church which is wonderful, but as it is part time I still have a bit more time left over to make some things happen! So maybe you need:
- Top live function band The Chromatones to play at your wedding (or your friend's wedding, or your second cousin once removed's, etc.) – or a jazz act, or solo piano
- Private, in-depth 1-1 musical coaching sessions in music theory, music production, Logic Pro X, Sibelius, piano or jazz piano, acoustic guitar, bass, drums or percussion
- Music notation to professional engravers' standards
- Audio production
- My session skills on keyboards

If you think you might be interested in any of the above just give me a DM! (That's a direct message, not a D minor.) Official blurb all at www.bentriggmusic.com

Made a lot of significant noises (and mess) in here this year:
- Two albums for Ichthus Christian Fellowship
- Four carol recordings for Shine Your Light 2023 in collab with
- A little EP of my own
- Session tracks for other people
- Lots of gig practice besides

Not to mention lots of music notation projects too. Time for a bit of a tidy up ready for 2024...

Provided some keys on this little gem of a track produced by the inestimable earlier this year 🎹 👀

Such a simple set up for recording acoustic but it sounds so GREAT! Condenser on 12th fret, dynamic on the body. Perfect balance of chug and top end for a lot of rhythm acoustic tracking today!

17/04/2023

Over at I've been publishing some of my arrangements (and one or two original compositions like this one from 2002!). Give me a follow there if you want some new solo and ensemble material to perform! Five catalogues, all of it performance-tested. Everything at olivepressmusic.com 🫒🎶

Get in the zone, stay in the zone. Cooking up overdubs for a 13-track album project @ BeatenTrack Studio.

Recently purchased by a choir in Canada, my arrangement of ‘Love The One You’re With’ includes probably the most daring falsetto leap for the Basses in all of choral history… maybe https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/love-the-one-you-re-with-digital-sheet-music/22310657?aff_id=729373 Stephen Stills would be proud I’m sure…

Cover bands are officially covered: download horn parts and charts ready for any gig, now:

As a leader of a function band, I know how easy it is to get lost in conflicting charts and parts when you’re trying to put together a gig. You cobble together your leftovers from previous engageme…

Very honored to have written an endorsement for 's new book, and excited to have just got my copy in the post! Mark is not only infuriatingly talented – commanding professional roles in design, photography, music and now writing too. He also has the power to communicate with other artists about the journey – powerfully, creatively, clearly. Every artist should read this. Available on Amazon!

Just been tidying up my music bookshelf 🤓📚 some absolute gems here; and I need to finish Rhyme's Reason; it's good, but I'd forgotten all about it 😲

19/01/2022

I've been tracking some percussion for a new little acoustic – multi-instrumental multi-track video dropping soon to the Ben David Trigg YouTube channel (just as soon as I've edited the video). This is my happy place.

Music freelancing is so weird. After a mega busy Nov-Dec, 2022 is looking very quiet! That said, I've already got a couple of calls set up for the end of this week with a previous collaborator and a new client, but I'd love to make some more new things with people this year! Audio production, music notation and keyboard sessions are all on the cards, plus consultation for people who want a boost in those skills themselves. 2022 – time for something new? Link in bio 🤓

Just did some mad location recording down by the Thames in view of the Dartford crossing and a whole lotta industrial areas. It was all about trying not to get our feet stuck in the sand! Great fun though. Craziest recording location ever, probably

23/04/2021

Meant to be recording an acoustic ballad...just getting the jazz out of my system first!

16/04/2021

Out today, an original release from Beaten Track Studio! Rather pleased with the epic sounds on this one... Go check it out! https://www.outnowon.com/release/ben-david-trigg-communion-song/
