Music and Sound

Iben Larssen picked up her mother’s guitar at four years old and recorded her first own written songs in a small 8 track recording studio at 12.
She later did studies of sound-engineering at the IAD in Louvain-La-Neuve/Belgium.

At 17, she released her first record as a performer (with the band Zwischenfall), then went into production and sound-engineering with producer Roli Mosimann doing remixes with well-known rock-bands
in New York, such as Megadeth and Mindbomb.

Founder of a booking and management company, Iben Larssen toured Europe and the US several times
as the manager of several trendsetting bands like A Split-Second and Blaine L. Reininger from Tuxedomoon.

Then in 1994, after having released three CD’s with her own band The Gallery, performing in Europe
as well as a New Year’s un-plugged concert in California in 1993, she decided to create “essentials” under her own name, iBEn, as a solo-artist project.

iBEn “essentials” was conceived in 1996 in collaboration with her all-time friend, musician-producer-sound-engineer Stephan Kraemer, with whom she co-managed one of Belgium’s largest recording studios
“Impuls Studios”.
This album reflects her many travels within and around planet, and is seasoned with the flare of the many cultures visited.  Iben’s lyrics are expressing a blend of her own Self Exploration with MultiDimensional Awareness. The depth and richness of the unique sound and vibrations have touched many deeply.

Between its Arabic, Celtic and cosmic influences, iBEn “essentials” carries trans-dimensional energies and lyrics from the heart and soul, with multidimensional awareness.

Her latest co-creation with Vincenzo Bianco and Stephan Kraemer is called LiV feat. iBEn and is trance-ambient-dance music created based on the conscious use of Shareable Healing Frequencies (432 Hz) helping synchronization of the two hemispheres of the brain and can thus accelerate healing on all levels, read more…
