Orpheyo Dragon embodies the musical guise of Dean Benson, co-founder of Melbourne based community, Wildwood. The power transferred through Orpheyo Dragon performances is of heart, wisdom and experience. Dean’s entire adult life has been spent refining his sound and space holding abilities, translating to his dance floors, moving with pure passion for music and life.
From driving hypnotic techno to organic world sounds, his skills in traversing the audience has taken him across the globe, from main stage festivals to the most intimate of club shows. A respected regular performer at gatherings such as Rainbow Serpent Festival & Earth Frequency Festival, Dean has also performed at Mo:dem (Croatia), Midnight Sun (Norway), Twisted Frequency (New Zealand), Dragon Dreaming and contributed to many more lifestyle festivals and underground events throughout Australia.
Additional to Orpheyo Dragon performances, Dean conducts a range of truly unique workshops, namely ‘Unveiling Your Illusion’ entailing exploration of the life experience in a sacred space, and ‘Wild Men’ an explorative men’s circle. As one of the founders of Melbourne collective Wildwood, Dean co-creates a platform of free expression, the teaching and learning of exploring consciousness and community.
