DOUSING is the moniker of Chicago-based artist Ben Chlapek. His work for electric piano and synthesizers through a maze of loops and delays touches on modern neo-classical stylings as well as 70's era minimalism and kosmische musik.

From Bloxham Tapes: "The DOUSING sound is all and none of the following. It's the moment that Moebius and Rodelius embraced melody. Dawn skittering on airplane wings on woozy transatlantic flights. Wide-open spaces lurking in every claustrophobic urban apartment. Rain on a windscreen on an endless drive. A solo flight on the black and white keys in the depth of winter. A fellow traveller."

Ben is a co-founder of the art non-profit and record label Dismal Niche, as well as a proud member of the Atmospheric Music Alliance.
