A few weeks ago, I wrote some music to accompany a whisky. The premiere was the unveiling of the Chivas Regal 18 Ultimate Cask Collection at an event in London, hosted by Chivas Master Blender Colin Scott and chef Jozef Youssef.

Developed in collaboration with chef Jozef Youssef of Kitchen Theory for the launch of a new Hugo Boss fragrance in London, November 17, 2015. Composed in just intonation to help in comparing the crossmodal effects of consonance and dissonance. Read more about the project here: http://www.newmusicbox.org/articles/author/ben-houge/
