My son John Also Bennett has just released a great new LP, his first solo work, titled Erg Herbe, on the Shelter Press label, which, if you ask me, is pretty dang good, and I'm not alone in thinking that.
John Also Bennett is an extremely versatile musician who has worked with numerous groups in different styles, and performed all over the world, for several years now. His personal approach to making music has been evolving rapidly in recent years, and this is his first completely solo album. I love it; it is hard to describe; it has a kind of ambient electronic and acoustic, lyrical, minimalist and other-worldly quality that is fully realized. It is a kind of music that is very hard to make into something compelling, and Also has pulled it off. Quite wonderful! And it makes his papa proud! Check it out!

Great album! Your description is accurate. In places it has a hint of Cluster. Also had me thinking of Kraftwerk's Ralf and Florian, but has it's own sound. It's a unique and enjoyable listen. Cool cover art also.
