First track (instrumental) Future History Part 1 with 5.1 aac sound

Born from the uncertainty of lockdowns and the joy of spontaneous creation, Ambient Den is the new progressive rock project from Australian musicians Ben Craven (“Monsters From The Id”, “Great & Terrible Potions”), Tim Bennetts (Seven Day Mask, SUB INC), and Dean Povey (Frankenfido).

What began as intimate jam sessions between Craven and Bennetts evolved into a full-fledged band project, built on a dynamic musical chemistry reminiscent of David Gilmour & Rick Wright or Mike Rutherford & Tony Banks.

The band’s self-titled debut album, “Ambient Den”, is a cinematic concept record that tells the story of humanity’s search for a new home among the stars, culminating in the terraforming of a distant world. Produced by Craven, the album stays true to his signature lush arrangements and layered instrumentation, but the songwriting is a fully collaborative effort.

Inspired by the great progressive rock bands of the 1970s, Ambient Den embraces the spirit of musicians creating together in the same room, much like the classic era before success scattered band members across different continents. The result is an album that blends atmosphere, melody, and grand storytelling, standing apart from Craven’s solo work while retaining the cinematic, immersive qualities that fans have come to love.

With “Ambient Den” releasing in stereo 28 July 2025, the band invites listeners to embark on an odyssey through space and sound. And for those paying attention, the name Ambient Den is more than just a phrase. It’s an anagram of “Tim”, “Ben”, and “Dean”, a reflection of the unity and spontaneity that defines the project.
