About Me |
|
| The moniker vidnaObmana was chosen by this Belgian composer for his musical persona because it means 'optical illusion.' Twenty-three years hence, vidnaObmana still finds this name allows him a sense of freedom to place his music first before his own personality and philosophy. As a self-taught electronic musician, vidnaObmana explored different musical realms before discovering the techniques of looping and shaping harmonies, merging layers of sound while minimizing the configurations to just a few notes.Embracing the challenge to leap into unknown and uncharted terrain, vidnaObmana refines his minimalistic sound-sculpting while expanding the range of rhythms and performance on various acoustic instruments, like the fascinating Slovakian overtone flute Fujara, and combining his array of sounds with contemporary elements, slowly changing pace with a great interest in the avantgarde. Recognized internationally for his solo and collaborative work spanning over thirty-four albums, commissioned works for the Dutch National Radio (VPRO), Zoo Antwerpen, a Japanese TV documentary, MTV US and several Belgian video art productions, including his critically acclaimed releases, continuous productivity has paved the way for expanded visibility and recognition of vidnaObmana.Throughout vidnaObmana's career, he has explored the abrasive side of electronic composition, the freeform landscapes of the isolationist ambient aesthetic, the structured interactivity of Fourth World soundworlds, international music traditions and post-classical experimentations. But now with the completion of his tour-de-force in the form of the Dante trilogy (Tremor, Spore and Legacy) for Relapse Records, vidnaObmana will dedicate his time to reflect upon his past and to look forward into the future so that no new concerts are being booked and brand-new solo works scheduled or recorded - the story has been told.With the completion of the Opera For Four Fusion Works box-set, vidnaObmana ends his story in beauty. With "The bowing harmony" (act IV of Opera) I established my last vidna recording in the studio and I'm truly happy I can conclude the vidnaObmana saga with this album. The Opera project has been, along with my Dante trilogy, the most rewarding and creatively satisfying studio recordings I've ever done and if I could choose, it's this Opera for Four Fusion Works and the Dante trilogy (Tremor, Spore and Legacy) I would like to be remembered for. Both works are a culmulation of all the experience and musical surface I explored over these past 23 years... What the Dante trilogy is for my rhythmical, tribal and more industrial face, the Opera has the main representative for my most harmonic and fascination for recycling... Thank you all." vidnaObmana April 2007. | |
