Benn Jordan is an idm musician operating under many pseudonyms. Since 1999 his most widely distributed and eclectic music has been released under the name of The Flashbulb, whose songs mostly fall under the idm/breakcore genre. Other names Benn operates under are Benn Jordan, Q-Bit, Flexe, Dr. Lefty, Acidwolf, Human Action Network, DJ ASCII, Lucid32, and rnd16.
As The Flashbulb, Jordan typically releases drill n bass music. His style differs strongly between albums, but they all have a cohesive bond tied around fast drum programming, acid-influenced melodies, and a wide array of live instrumentation from various instruments Jordan has acquired. He also often records his melodies through MIDI-synced guitars. His guitar style and skill has gained attention because he typically plays it strung backwards, and makes heavy use of fast sweeping and tapping. The last two Flashbulb albums have been featuring violinist Greg Hurte.

i need help. i had this flashbulb song on a mix cd for a while but now i can't find it. i never got the name of the song but i need it because i want to buy the album that has it. it's one of my all time favorite lyrics, theyre at the end of the song, and the vocals start like this: In celebration of silence, a perspired treasures worked for by others. I'm ungrateful in a ways, I'm more interested in the weather.
