Rhythm is a central figure in the music of Vic Hennegan. His
AQUA VISTA (52'11") combines influences from the worlds of
Prog, Techno, New Age, Ambient, Space, Electronic and World
Music into a most distinctive work. Performing with the
confidence of the musically well traveled, and mixing his
experiences into nine vivid sonic statements, Hennegan's
exuberance is contagious. Electro-ethno percussion pulses
alongside a synthetic bassline running in echoed syncopation.
Rounded vintage synth tones bend and step boldly through key
changes amidst soaring angelic voices. It is here that ethereal
tendencies and a bold melody driven vitality converge - and
mirror this artist's inner life. As contemplative as it is celebratory,
AQUA VISTA crosses many levels and degrees of energy.
Hennegan renders his Electronic Music in a new light - which he
refracts into many new angles.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from AQUA
VISTA the new CD by Vic Hennegan

Dean De Benedictis & Vic Hennegan Live on STAR'S END
10.19.08

The musical work of Dean DeBenedictis is one of continued
engagement. With clear phrasing, pacing and feeling his
realizations are infused with both thought and spirit. His musical
arrangements are tight and express a relentlessly solemn inner
monologue. De Benedictis records under his own name and as
Surface 10, and founded an electronic community in Los
Angeles called the Fateless Flows Collective. Vic Hennegan
creates techno-trance and ambient music as an expression of
his spirituality. Originally from Philadelphia, Hennegan spent his
early career performing in rock bands in New York City. After
relocating to Los Angeles, he became a permanent fixture as
performer on the desert rave scene. His spellbinding anthems
and inspired dance floor rituals led him to a more enlightened
perspective, and he has since traveled a deeper musical path.

Dean De Benedictis + Vic Hennegan make their east-coast
debut in Philadelphia as part of The Gatherings Concert Series
on 18 October 2008. Following their concert, De Benedictis &
Hennegan will perform live on the 10.19.08 broadcast of STAR'S
END Ambient Radio. Please tune in for details.
