Extractions: Dancing Suite to Suite is the fruition of the search for roots musical and genealogical. I first set foot on my ancestral land of Norway in July 1998. Landing in Oslo, I was greeted by my cousin Jens Moe who whisked me straight away to Telemark to meet the hardangerfele player Tarjei Romtveit at his bucolic home in Vijne where we fiddled for most of the afternoon. Lodgings were in a hytte with a sod roof by a rolling stream in Mjonoy where we resumed the fiddlefest the following day. I had been yearning for a hardangerfele lesson since my childhood, intrigued by the intricately inlaid Norwegian violin with five sympathetically vibrating strings underneath the bridge. Tarjei taught me his favorite tunes, which I preserved on DAT tape for future practice sessions. Jens and I searched for Noekken and other trolls during our midnight hikes in the rustic forest. After several days in Oslo, I made the pilgrimage to the family island near Kragero where I met more cousins, and slept in the same bed as my great uncle Tillman Breiseth had years ago while on vacation from teaching Ibsen at the University of Oslo. I gathered enough Nordic inspiration for the trek to Denmark where I was engaged to play several solo violin recitals at Klint, a community which gathers each summer to study the writings of the Danish cosmologist Martinus. I played the concerts at Klint for an enthusiastic audience.
Tesseract between Mellotron and synth to organ, creating a healthy interplay with noted violinist karen bentley. work of accomplished classical musician karen bentley (who guested on the last http://www.till.com/tesseract/pane-album.html
Extractions: (Bach Violin concerto in A minor, 3rd movement) Rice Cymbal Dance Vantage Point Instrumental Tesseract are skilled and eagerly experimental musicians who managed to grab my interest in them right at the very first listen. They're full of that 70s prog passion that enables them to dig out classical influences and blend them with their own flavour. Outshines. Carlos J Tavares, The Space of Carlos Taveres, 23 Jan 1998 Don Tillman's five piece debut is a merger of the soaring intricacies of Kansas with some aspects of fusion (Jean Luc Ponty comes to mind). Don has an impressive array of keyboards; he's adept at switching off between Mellotron and synth to organ, creating a healthy interplay with noted violinist Karen Bentley. The stand out piece is Allegro Assai, an arrangement of a Bach violin concerto which benefits from a strong adaptation without losing the delicacy of the original score.

Extractions: or over the internet www.neptunusrecords.com and www.kbentley.com The outstanding American violinist Karen Bentley, a native of Palo Alto, California, and a pupil of among others of Josef Gingold, Yuval Yaron and Nathan Milstein is always a surprise soloist, be it in concert, in collaboration with the widest possible range of musicians or on CD. In the States, she is well known as a champion of contemporary music; I had the honour of experiencing her playing contemporary pieces of great beauty, but also of utter rubbish, and always with her usual flair and sense of duty firmly believing that every composition has to be heard. But she also feels free to tackle any musical style from the classics to jazz and rock - and she always succeeds a hundred per cent. Next to her endless activities as a performer, conductor and composer she is currently the violinist in the Paul Dresher Electro Acoustic Band.

All Things Strings: Reviews Finally, two discs featuring Californiabased violinist karen bentley.She and Bruce Hanifan have conceived, performed and recorded http://www.stringsmagazine.com/issues/strings96/reviews.html
Extractions: In general, stick to the major record labels if you want interpretations by great artists of the core repertoire; investigate the smaller labels if youre interested in lesser-known works. Theres no clearer demonstration of this than the clutch of 20th-century music CDs that recently came my way for review. Listening to them confirmed a number of things in my mind: first, that theres an extraordinary wealth of music out there to explore; second, that CDs give todays composers and instrumentalists unprecedented opportunities for self-promotion; and last, that the term "20th-century music" incorporates such a variety of styles as to be virtually meaningless. Simplest musical forces first: solo recital discs. In the refreshingly direct booklet note for his CD

Extractions: Publication Date: Friday Mar 10, 2000 Bach Celebration 2000 features local violinist by Heather Wax The outside of the Theophilus Allen house, a large two-story dwelling on Melville Avenue, shows off the Swiss chalet, Japanese timber and English Tudor influences of the Craftsman building style. But on Feb. 27, the cedar-paneled interior housed an eccentric mix of musical styles from Germany, Brazil, and Norway. And at the center of it all, Karen Bentley, violinist, co-director, and conductor of the upcoming Bach Celebration 2000. The home, now belonging to Gladys and Clif Woodhams, was the setting for the prelude fund-raiser concert for the Bach series. Bentley played the violin to the accompaniment of flute, cello and harpsichord, and then had a little fun soloing on the hardingfelea Norwegian fiddle crafted by Gladys' grandfather. "I went to Norway, back to my roots, and I met some cousins that took me to a fiddle maker and I started on the Norwegian folk fiddle," Bentley said. "I only know about seven tunes, but I play them well. It's quality, not quantity, with that. I actually got a lesson in last week, in my kitchen." There have been few breaks for Bentley in the last few years. When she wasn't traveling throughout Europe, Asia, Canada, Russia and the United States for concerts, she has kept herself busy playing violin for the progressive rock band Tesseract and releasing new age CDs under her own name.

They'll be jammin' The four laid-back dudes that make up the Mother Hips made a name for themselves in the mid-'90s by rocking their hometown of Chico with an Allman Brothers-style rock groove that was heavy on the jam and guitar and low on attitude and Top 40 sensibilities. Playing gig after gig, night after night, these road warriors appeared to be on the highway to major-league successa la other jam proponents like Phish and Blues Travelerbut it simply never happened. They cultivated a sizable Bay Area fan base, made the right moves (appearing on the once-popular H.O.R.D.E. tour) and got signed to a major label. But things seemed to peter out for the band when its label, American Recordings, tanked. A once-promising band seemed destined to become just another rock 'n' roll casualty. But the Mother Hips aren't giving up that easily. They are back on the road, doing what they do best: serving up electric folk and jam rock to concert goers looking to dine from the Grateful Dead table.

Review Of Kairotic Offerings With the exception of flutist Tim Day and violinist karen bentley in concerti fortheir respective instruments, all the orchestral sounds are MIDIrealized. http://www.jerrygerber.com/reviewkairotic.htm
Extractions: J erry Gerber. "Kairotic Offerings" [Symphony No. 1." "Flute Concerto" (1989). "Violin Concerto" (1996)]. Jerry Gerber, MIDI programming; Tim Day, flute; Karen Bentley, violin. http://www.slip.net/~jgerber/ Far from "Chaotic Offerings", Jerry Gerber’s "Kairotic Offerings" are well-organized essays in the wonders of digital technology allied to a traditional sense of the structure and function in large-scale harmonic contexts. Minimalist patterning, all-American syncopation, mysterious vocal samples, schooled counterpoint, clear motivic relations, a few clever backbeats, and rhapsodic, romantic downright cinematographic string lines conspire to present the portrait of a varied composer. With the exception of flutist Tim Day and violinist Karen Bentley in concerti for their respective instruments, all the orchestral sounds are MIDI-realized. Both the live performers play superbly, and Gerber writes virtuosic passages that allow them to display their talents to the fullest. Phillip George home news recordings compositions ... links
