Beyond Music

Benjamin Grimes' talent for creation extends far beyond the Native American Flute. Benjamin's work has been featured at universities, churches, museums, and countless private homes.

Graphic designs by Benjamin's company, Eccentric Acres LLC have been used by artists such as Jan Michael Looking Wolf for several of his albums, including: UNITY (Winner 2008 NAMMY and ISMA Best Flute Recording), Seven Rabbits (Benefit CD for the Children's Cancer Association), and Breakin' Free (Drug Addiction Recovery Benefit Album). Benjamin has also worked with many other artists, but one of his proudest creations for the music industry is the album Rise Up, designed for Spirit Wind Records.

Beyond CD's Benjamin has been designing promotional materials and advertising for his local community and beyond. Most recently the completion of the new Spirit Wind Records website, including logo and design was completed and launched on February 20, 2010.

As an engineer Benjamin has seven federally registered inventions, but has recently shifted focus to better develop systems for controlled micro-agricultural production. His vastly superior and meticulously thought out designs have been installed throughout Oregon's Willamette Valley where production yields have increased an average of 60% in as little as 6 months.

As a multimedia artist, Benjamin is also a winemaker, woodworker, stone worker, and glass crafter. Designs by Benjamin can be seen at several homes around the Willamette Valley and include: Handcrafted cabinetry, furniture, custom floors, countertops, stained glass, and more.
