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.
