“Electronic sounds meet acoustic tones, unpretentious electric guitar sounds and a little voice. A farewell, a blue glance: this is music supporting lively images. (…) Those who like listening to Recoil, the project by ex-Depeche-Mode member Alan Wilder, will undoubtedly take to Dewy as well.” - KEYS
"State of the art!" - Best records
"It is quite difficult to pigeonhole the music created by DEWY; this is, however, what makes the whole thing so absorbing. (…) Strings, a female voice, jazz components, double bass, a low rap-reciting voice, epic moments, a feeling of the 70ies – so that one could fairly think
Bohren and the Club of Gore are acting Sade and embellishing that by borrowing from the Prog-Sound." - bright eyes
“The arrangements composed of acoustic guitars, strings, oboes and electronic bell sounds engender a comforting and idyllic atmosphere. Then a clarion electric guitar is tuning in, bearing a striking resemblance to Mike Oldfield – some time ago he as well was someone
to go beyond all scopes and conventions.” - re-flection
“Introversive” is almost completely electronic, as well as spacy, trippy, partly jazzy – but really cool either." - bright eyes

Bio
DEWY. It's about: to follow. To obey. About humility. Toward music.
For about 20 years, DEWY has been producing his own music in this way, first with guitar, now with everything that comes his way. His music evolves as the music wants it, because he follows the music. It comes by itself, an idea, a melody, a mood, a thought.
The actual work begins with working out: how does it sound right? And when – what is still missing? What is too much?
So what's the music like? Well, of course it's pop music! With some expansive string arrangements and other orchestral instruments – many say they are reminiscent of movie soundtracks, in the tradition of John Barry and his James Bond works.
Very deep bass, multi-layered synth pads, gripping harmonies, pithy dissonances, countless intervening sound effects and speckles, so you can discover something new even after countless listening. Elaborate 3D reverb design, tonal moods. Too much? Too large? Mostly not!
At the end is the finished piece. Is it convincing, is it "true"?
If so, it will be released on the album. If not, it will linger. Sometime, months, years later, the missing part, the segment, the idea will come and the piece is ready.
In the meantime, several albums have been created in this way, most recently "Home".
Of course on vinyl, in the best DMM quality. Ready to be experienced on a good device.
