Heather Bentley Strings, From Classical to Improvisation, Composer, Trailblazer.
I am chatting to the multitalented Heather Bentley today. This is a great chat about her journey in music. There are some amazing insights here from a wonderful musician.
Seattle-based violist and composer Heather Bentley has trailblazed a career as one of the West Coast’s most visible improvisatory musicians, specializing in creating evocative atmospheres and textures.
Classically trained, she has shifted to an unabashedly experimental artistic output: As a performer, she can be seen performing on instruments like her electric seven string and five string violins or her electronic pedal board in numerous chamber ensembles that utilize improvisation, electronics, and often both.
As a composer, her work for chamber ensembles and orchestras has been performed by organizations across the US. Relentless in her pursuit of creativity, she continues this work as co-founder of Kin of the Moon, a 501(c)3 organization which fosters collaboration between artists in service of creating unique art.

Mark Hewitt Snowshill Manor, Charles Wade, Skateboarding and Magical Objects.
This episode is with the wonderful Mark Hewitt. We talk Skateboarding, the magical world of Snowshill Manor and its link with the Museum of Magic in Boscastle and Mark’s forthcoming book on the artifacts of the Snowshill Manor and the eccentric life of Charles Wade.
We explore the links between music and skateboarding which I thought was fascinating and also the deep dive into how objects change their nature from items of curiosity to objects of magic.
