guest DJ : james healy
*vidna obmana
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.
*james healy
james got his start djing 9 yrs ago in NYC at the RV's infamous
24hrsound happenings and Soundlab, where he brought his west coast,
mellow sound to blend with the rough breaks and beats of NY dance
culture. Having worked with Kim Cascone and Silent Records, James
developed an early love of ambient, new age, and soundtracks. James met up
with DJ Olive shortly after coming to New York and together later founded
Agriculture Records (theagriculture.com). His current project, ocean
acoustics, is a chillout project to produce deep ambient, ambient techno,
and soundtrack oriented house. Release 1 (OCA001) is be released this fall
on ocean acoustics music.
