VIDNAOBMANA:
Ambient musician vidnaObmana is one of
spacemusic's brightest stars. Using synthesizers, audio processors, and a vast
array of exotic instruments, Belgian electronic musician vidnaObmana creates a
complex, layered musical journey through rhythms, timbres, loops, and sonic
atmospheres. The name vidnaObmana means "optical illusion" in Serbo-Croation, a
term he picked up while vacationing in Croatia during his childhood. He chose
this phrase as his musical persona to illustrate how his music correlates
sonically with the surreal soundscapes he creates. vidnaObmana is a prolific
composer whose diverse body of work ranges from post-industrial through gently
atmospheric, to tribal ambient and more. His music slowly shifts through
electronic audio imagery, creating extremely personal works of atmospheric
delight.
Throughout his career, vidnaObmana has explored
the abrasive side of electronic composition, using freeform soundscapes,
international music traditions, and post-classical experimentations. His music
has been released widely by many independent labels worldwide, including:
Release/Relapse, Amplexus, Extreme, Hypnos, Mirage, Multimood, Projekt and
others. A significant portion of vidnaObmana's work has been realized in
collaboration with some of the world's most interesting musicians such as Alio
Die, Jeff Pearce, Steve Roach, Djen Ajakan Shean, Asmus Tietchens, and Brannan
Lane.
