AN INTERVIEW WITH DEAN DE BENEDICTIS
An Electronic Savant Sings
A lot of instrumental players decide they want to be singers, but usually, that means they start writing songs with words. Dean De Benedictis, who has recorded several electronic albums under his own name and as Surface 10, has gone another way. He's using his voice to make electronic music. On his album,A Cambient Variations, all the sounds come from his voice, but he layers, loops and processes that voice into an ambient dreamscape. Dean De Benedictis opens his mouth and talks about singing.
