Benjamin Simpson – The Great Spectacle (2026)

The Great Spectacle (2026) is an ambitious conceptual work by Australian composer and multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Simpson. Inspired by media philosophy and the concept of the "society of the spectacle," the album explores the illusory nature of modern digital reality, information overload, and the search for genuine human connection. Simpson constructs a large-scale, cinematic canvas where lush orchestrations, complex neo-prog elements, and virtuosic instrumentals merge into a single, dynamic narrative.
