Apt Heavens is a duo project by Patrick Benkhe (viola and processing) and Ben Finley (double bass, electric bass and effects). Apt Heavens explores the potential of a long standing improvisatory grounding and friendship. Combined with sonic explorations of California's wilderness, a freedom of highly personal compositional approaches become available. 

​

The resonance of viola, double bass and electric bass tuned in fifths has opened up a whole new language of resonance for Apt Heavens. It has also led us to explore other 

microtonal tuning possibilities. 

​

From playing for kids in libraries to wise folks in homes, Apt Heavens aims at cultivating concert stages anywhere into sonic garden projects.
