Benny Braaten is better known as Origami Galaktika. This project saw the light during Christmas 1994 when Benny recorded what was to become the first LP "Stjernevandring" in cooperation with his younger brother Kjell Øyvind.

Since then there has been many tours, playing in churches, galleries, festivals, squats, concert halls etc. in Europe, Canada and the USA, and many releases in various formats.

An evening with Origami Galaktika is an evening of mainly organic sounds, as field recordings and lots of different acoustic instruments, electronically performed through samplers and minidiscs. A slowly moving vessel in a dream like world.

Origami Galaktika's music was released on labels such as
Black Orchid Productions, Speeding Across My Hemisphere, Staalplaat, Jester Records, Purple Soil and many others.

"Bd9", a collaboration between Benny Braaten and Daniele Brusaschetto recorded back in 2004 was released by Afe in October 2008.
