BEN ALBISTON

I’ve always been a child of imagination. Long before I could call myself a developer, I was writing my own Spectrum games and losing myself in old-school consoles — the N64, the classics, anything with a controller and a world to escape into. Gaming wasn’t just a hobby; it was the first language I used to build worlds of my own.

That creativity spilled straight into music. I drummed in a heavy metal band, studied music production, construction and commercial engineering, and recorded bands in my own sessions. Somewhere between the industrial techno I produced and the tech-psychedelic sets I DJ’d, I learned how to turn raw energy into something people could feel.

Alongside the noise, I studied Reiki healing, meditation and mediumship — a quieter current that’s run through my life ever since. Living in Morocco deepened that perspective, and it’s still there in the holistic work I create today.

These days I teach Bodypump classes, manage a care home, and I’m proud to say I guided that home through COVID without a single death. I’m married, I have a dog, and I still keep more plates spinning than most. Every skill — the code, the rhythm, the care, the healing, the art — is rising to the surface now, poured into the games I’m writing and the artistic flare I’m finally ready to share with the world.
