Ever So Gently

by Dew Point

/

about

Dew Point is an ambient project by English musicians Ben McElroy and Richard Smithson.

Weaving together the earthy sound world of Ben and the imaginative sound design of Richard, the duo aim to create soundscapes that conjure a sense of place.

Compositions often start with a simple texture or drone, with files being sent between the two becoming blurred with effects in the process.

It's often the case that Ben will record acoustic instruments and Richard will process them into new, often unrecognisable textures. Violin melodies become drones and field recordings become synth pads.

Ben and Richard have never actually met in person- the collaboration taking place entirely online.

Richard is a media composer with a keen interest in sound, synthesis and effect processors. He is currently set to release his debut song as a singer / songwriter.

Ben is an ambient folk musician with a number of solo releases- the latest ‘How I Learnt To Disengage From The Pack’ received 4 stars from The Guardian.
