Ben Lukas Boysen (born 4 September 1981), also known by his stage name Hecq, is a German electronic music composer based in Berlin.
Inspired by classical composers such as Anton Bruckner, Richard Wagner, and Johann Sebastian Bach, Boysen developed a strong foundation in traditional music, which later influenced his contemporary compositions.
[4] Boysen moved to Berlin in the early 2000s, where he established Hecq Audio, a studio specialising in sound design and electronic composition.
[5] Adopting the alias Hecq, he began releasing music in 2003, exploring a wide range of electronic subgenres, including glitch, ambient, breakcore, IDM, and dubstep.
AllMusic highlighted it as "a finely crafted effort that looks back to the formative era of experimental techno without being a nostalgia trip," while mxdwn noted its balance of "delicate introspection with moments of profound grandeur.
