The Soundscapes Concert Series Presends De Benedictis & Hennegan and Wostheinrich

[Bill Fox]

Sunday, October 2, the Soundscapes Concert Series returns to the 
Nazareth Center for the Arts with two great acts; Dean DeBenedictis & 
Vic Hennegan and Bernhard Wostheinrich..

DEAN DE BENEDICTIS: Dean's music is the result of his will to tie an 
essential common thread together between opposing genres and mentalities 
as well as draw from them a natural sense of emotion, expanse and 
mystery. This Southern California-based visual and conceptual artist, 
known as Surface 10, has always utilized his interest in a variety of 
styles and cultures to enrich the quality of his musical expression.

VIC HENNEGAN: An artist and a spiritualist, Hennegan contemplates the 
state of humanity through his music. Hennegan’s instinctive hand creates 
techno-trance and ambient music in a wildly fun, uplifting spiritual 
experience that will take your soul on a journey to the center of 
ecstasy. His music emanates a unique warmth which moves the listener to 
a state of euphoria.Bernhard Wöstheinrich elicits meaning from 
abstraction in electronic music and painting. He has studied graphic 
design and has created an eclectic body of work in both graphics and 
music. Using a compositional approach akin to his work as a visual 
artist, Bernhard usually begins by improvising abstract sonic structures 
which are subsequently developed into an increasingly detailed aural 
picture.

BERNHARD WOSTHEINRICH: Bernhard leads his own solo project "The 
Redundant Rocker" and his main collaborator is Markus Reuter (in 
CENTROZOON). He has also worked with Ian Boddy, Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock, 
No-Man singer Tim Bowness, Thorsten Niestrath, and Synapscape's Philipp 
Münch.

Bernhard is a composer, painter, graphic designer, performer, small town 
bohemian, failed control freak, and, finally, even a record label owner 
in Germany. His projects and albums have been released on a variety of 
labels and span different fields of electronic and ambient music. In 
about 1987, he began to intensely experiment with his own sounds and 
tunes after finding out that drawing and painting simply weren’t enough 
to adequately express himself. Bernhard seeked something that would have 
a more “performing” approach. Inspired by the likes of Einstürzende 
Neubauten and other informal and experimental music, he finally began to 
work in a very personal way to compose and record some early tapes. The 
rest, as they say, is history.

Doors open at 7:30 pm and the concert is at 8:00 pm. The concert is 
free. Donations are requested to support the musician and to enable the 
Nazareth Center for the Arts to pay operating expenses. The NCA is 
located at 30 Belvidere Street, Nazareth, PA 18064 just off of Route 191 
on the southwest corner of Belvidere Street and South Spruce Street. 
Check the NCA site for parking information.
