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.

The Space... Of Carlos Tavares! Don Tillman is in charge of guitarkeyboard-vocal-cymbal duties, karen bentley fiercelyrocks Interesting note karen is the session violinist featured on http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/9815/cttesseract.htm
Extractions: Independently distributed by Tesseract (TCD-001) Tesseract is a US quintet from the west coast. They perform progressive art rock with a confortable mixture of folk and classical music, analog goodies, amidst much experimenting. Don Tillman is in charge of guitar-keyboard-vocal-cymbal duties, Karen Bentley fiercely rocks her violin, Julius Smith smartly models all sort of instruments with his synths and plays guitar, while the rhythm section is constituted by Dave Berners on bass and Josh Schroeter on drums and percussion. Interesting note: Karen is the session violinist featured on Camels recent HARBOUR OF TEARS. The albums opener is an experimental scary little thing played on a synthesizer. The first "real track" is subtly entitled HEISENBERGS DAUGHTER; ah! the uncertainty principle It is clearly reminiscent of early Kansas, especially due to Karens contribution which is quite appealing. A hint of Gentle Giant and ELP surfaces. The Mellotron and Memory moog also make a prominent appearance. Next up is an 11 minute epic: CAST OF THOUSANDS. It progresses via 4 different phases all cooked up and ready to go. Tesseract describe its recipe as "If you think of your life as a play, the cast would be acting out the parts of all the folks you meet along the way". Various wind instruments are modelled by a synth. ALLEGRO ASSAI is part of a classical Bach violin concerto in A minor thats brilliantly arranged and performed by Tesseract. Theres an interesting duel between Bentleys organic violin and Julius modelled one. RICE is heavily keyboard orientated by the different arrangements it possesses. Be it classical piano segments, Rhodes Chroma or synths, its intelligently textured. The violin provides further enhancement. Track 6, is another experimental piece thats layered solely by eight tracks (!!) of cymbals. Not my cup of tea. The last tune, VANTAGE POINT, is an instrumental. This piece is part of a mini rock opera that never saw the light of day.

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

Extractions: Site updated Wednesday, March 13, 2002 05:05 PM Search Site: ENTERTAINMENT Wallace Leung Helikon Ensemble honours Leung By Robert Jordan The Helikon Ensemble is the most recent group jockeying for position on the Vancouver new music scene. Although new, the ensemble brings over 50 years of collective professional experience to "Time Resounding," their March 17 concert at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Little did Helikon know when planning this concert last fall, it would be a tribute to founding conductor Wallace Leung, who died from viral encephalitis in January. Leung was a strong guiding force behind the fledgling ensemble, formed in 1999 although its individual members met well before that. "It all began back in '94," says clarinetist Karen Noel-Bentley, one of the original members. "That was when several of our founding members played Peter Maxwell Davies' 'Eight Songs for a Mad King' under Wallace Leung. We worked really well together and at that time, there was no ensemble in town like that." And so the Helikon Ensemble was formed, deriving its name from Mount Helicon, the ancient Grecian home of the Muses. But with a "k"? "It's there just because Wallace wanted to have a 'k' in the name," says Noel-Bentley. "He liked the way it looked."
