David Helpling

Even as a teen, David was always experimenting with guitar effects and signal processors to create his sonic illusions. Then with a passion for synthesizers and percussion, this guitar sound solidified his unmistakable style and vision. David’s debut release, Between Green and Blue, was a finalist for the INDIE Album-Of-The-Year award. On his second release, Sleeping On The Edge Of The World, he took this unmistakable style to a deeper and more cinematic level. 
 Working with fellow artist Jon Jenkins, a lifelong dream was realized with the release of TREASURE. Its international success proved the merging of these two artists was explosive and limitless. Helpling and Jenkins pushed forward on their award-winning sophomore release THE CROSSING, leading listeners on an epic musical journey. Then, with the release of FOUND, the signature Helpling/Jenkins style and sound was solidified in an enthralling climax and deep resolve. FOUND received the ZMR Music Award for "Best Electronic Album of the Year". 
 David created a pure ambient guitar work driven forward and brought to fruition by co-producer Jon Jenkins...whom without, A Sea Without Memory would just not be the same. 
 David's new release R U N E arrived in November of 2019 on Spotted Peccary Music. This album is an evolution in concept and production using only a guitar and extensive processing. Multi-layered, shimmering and powerful deep tones take Ambient Guitar into new textural and conceptual territory with R U N E
