   About Ben Seretan (Mute With Stupefaction)
Mute with Stupefaction is the bedroom recording project of musician Ben Seretan. The songs produced from his laptop are often exercises in transparent vocal processing, tape loops, found sound, and pop melodies. Using whatever instruments happen to be around and the cheap internal microphone built-in to his computer, the recordings are both decidedly low-fi and excruciatingly labored over.

He maintains a blog under the name here.

His music, including his latest "Pacific Radio Fire" EP, can be downloaded for free here. You can check out a review of the EP over at Aural Wes.

Ben also plays with a number of bands including Chicago's Sewing Machines and Amazing Wow's Decora.

"Seretan continues exploring his truly notable knack for navigating the deeply entwined knots of American folk music traditions while carefully incorporating a thoroughly contemporary and at times distinctly boundary-pushing dedication to experimentalism and dense soundscaping." -Aural Wes
