Ex Wiish is a fleeting dream, the new musical project of Ben Shirken, a sound artist and composer based in New York City. Shirken is the founder of record label and performance series 29 Speedway which features improvisational electronic music, four-point guerrilla sound installations, live multimedia performances and has hosted Robert Aiki, Aubrey Lowe, Poncili Creación, Debit, Pent, James K, and various other New York-based artists. Shirken also produces for and plays modular synths in acclaimed free jazz group Nu Jazz with Dan Orlowski of electronic hardcore staple Deli Girls. Their debut record, Shards of Axel, was born from a story-based video game composition; the listener finds themselves as the disoriented main player respawned into a harrowing, metallic landscape, wandering through cable ridden labyrinths, caught in progress traps as digital noises grind past submerged cityscapes.
