Porter

Ben Porter began cutting his teeth in music as a bassist for the hardcore band, Tenfold, in 1996. Shortly after, the need to explore music led to a short stent playing drums in the band, Blue Minus, with his college mate, Scott Mathews. Although the band was short lived, the connection with Scott blossomed into yet another band. They formed the band Serus Victoria in 2002. Five years and two albums later, the band split when Ben relocated to Beaverton, Oregon, where he began exploring writing on his own. Now, after a 7 year hiatus (mainly due to raising 2 kids), he's back and creating again. This time, with his new band, The LP Experiment, he and his bandmate, Nick Lind, go forth to create and explore new heights in their music with their upcoming album entitled "The Astronaut's Dilemma" and the EP "Life and Everything In Between."

    A Simple Man - The LP Experiment - The Astronaut's Dilemma

    Coming in at the middle of the album, this song focuses on the astronaut being refueled and confident after his first failure. He now understands that he no hero. Instead he is just a man withs faults who is charged with a mission to save the world. Focusing on self belief, determination, and following through on things said and done, he powers on to find a new home for his people. This is the 7th track on the The Astronaut's Dilemma, the first album to be released by the LP Experiment.

    The Man And His Maiden - Porter - Three Bell Chime

    As his first recording as a solo artist, Ben wanted to try something new. Wanting to tell more of a folk tale and get away from the his typical song writing style, the song instead uses poetic verses and lacks an overall chorus that repeats throughout the entire song.
