Career
Under Deconstruction
In 2007, Craven recorded the EP Under Deconstruction as a free download, protesting against the use of DRM in the music industry.[1] Craven later observed that DRM was only a distraction from the problem of monetising legal music file downloads.[2]
Ben Craven & The Section
In 2012, Craven assembled three-piece band Ben Craven & The Section specifically for live performances of his album Great & Terrible Potions.[3] The band was interviewed and performed for a live interactive video streaming event in May 2013, in what was billed as a world-first for progressive rock.[4]
