About

What happens when three multi-instrumentalists leave their egos at the door, bounce ideas off each other and simply allow music to happen?

Ambient Den is a new project featuring Australian prog maestro Ben Craven, Tim Bennetts (Seven Day Mask, SUB INC) and Dean Povey (Frankenfido).

Inspired by the magical interplay between the likes of Banks & Rutherford (Genesis), and Wright & Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Bennetts and Craven have forged a musical relationship based on trust, dialogue and surprise. Rounding out the trio is the drumming of Povey, eschewing wizardry for feel and emotion.

Ambient Den is about accepting all our influences and letting the music reveal itself without our getting in the way,” says Craven. “Together we create something quite different from what any of us would produce on our own. We are trying to capture that elusive energy and joy from our favourite bands before the machine drew them in, tore them apart and launched their solo careers on opposite sides of the world!”
