“Saturn has fallen into turbulent waters; from that void, only a few imaginary numbers remain,
floating.”
Hyperstellar is the electronic project of Parisian composer Ruben Benabou, probing the extreme states of the human psyche through music.
First noticed in the late 2010s by Gerald Donald (Drexciya, Dopplereffekt) for his mathematical approach to composition—developed through his interest in mathematics and echoing a distinctly Xenakisian spirit, Hyperstellar began a collaboration with Donald that became the cryptic project Daughter Produkt.
Initially finding echoes in the darker waves of Electronic music (having worked with DJ Hell, The Hacker, Dopplereffekt…), Hyperstellar is always looking elsewhere. In the edges of being, suspension, the liminal, the in-between, the ephemeral nature of the note of a piano, or the mathematical nature of an electronic sound.
Numbers drift endlessly until they drown, while Saturn and some half-drawn stars watch over them. Drawing from Wagnerian drama, European electronic precision, the violence of rock and metal, and the blurred states of ambient and experimental music, Hyperstellar shapes a versatile Saturnian sound.
A carefully curated discography followed across respected imprints: International Deejay Gigolo Records, K7!, Zone Records and Bordello A Parigi.
A composer for brands, films, trailers and installations, he joined Hans Zimmer’s Bleeding Fingers Music and is frequently commissioned by Dior, Audemars Piguet, Moncler, Pomellato or Pucci (including campaigns featuring Naomi Campbell or Irina Shayk), as well as worldwide TV campaigns for leading luxury and cosmetic houses.
He composed Isabelle Stanislas’ exhibitions’ original soundtracks three times, La Monnaie de Paris (2017), Hôtel de Sully (2022) and PAD (2026) and his work is frequently asked by brands and production houses.
Among his past releases and remixes for DJ Hell, Blackstrobe and David Shaw, Hyperstellar is currently working on forthcoming projects from his very explosive artistic mind.
Each piece is a fragment of an interior landscape: numbers, impulses, memories, dreams — a mirror held to the darker geometries of the self, dissolving into a melancholic contemplation of time folding in on itself.
