Bending The Walls Of Experimental Electronic-Ambient Music

Through creative use of musical instruments and sound design tools, De Benedictis scores an emotionally deep, yet aesthetically and technologically sophisticated gesture with his new release, SALVAGING THE PRESENT, as he bends the walls of the experimental electronic-ambient music genre by blending vocal and audio samples to fabricate fresh investigations into the environment of music and sound.


Bending the walls of experimental electronic-ambient music, Dean De Benedictis creates a bold tapestry of sonic vibrancy on his new release, SALVAGING THE PRESENT. Through the creative use of musical instruments and sound design tools, De Benedictis scores an emotionally deep, aesthetically appealing and technologically sophisticated triumph, blending organic and electronic expressions into a compelling panorama of music and sound.



Vowel-based arpeggios and pulsing sequences modulate with abstract yet mesmerizing rhythms, clearly defining a distinctive sound that is deeply rooted in De Benedictis' unorthodox technique of blending vocal samples with percussion hits. Added to that are many other elements - both electronic and acoustic - as De Benedictis rounds out the mix with his own performances on concert flute, grand piano, guitar, harmonica, hand percussion, cedar flutes, and voice, as well as contributions from Percy Jones (bass), Alexey Gorokholinskiy (clarinet), Peter Ludwig (cello, and voice), Lisa Claire Mitterer (vocals), D'Von Charley (native flute), Jim Goetsch (sax), and Angelo Elonte (violin).
