Benedict Schlepper-Connolly

Benedict Schlepper-Connolly is an Irish composer, multi-instrumentalist, and co-founder of the Dublin-based experimental music collective Kirkos. Known for his genre-blurring work, he crafts immersive soundscapes that weave together ambient textures, minimalist patterns, and fragile melodies, often blending acoustic instruments with electronic elements. His recent projects—like the haunting *Don’t Go Where I Can’t Find You* score, the introspective *A New Sea*, and the earthy, resonant *The Weathered Stone*—showcase his knack for emotional storytelling through sound. A collaborator at heart, he frequently works across theater, film, and interdisciplinary art, bringing a quiet, thoughtful intensity to every project. Whether composing for strings or sculpting electronic atmospheres, Benedict’s music feels both intimately personal and expansively atmospheric.
