Ben Vida / USA
Ben Vida is a Brooklyn based sound artist who has gained international recognition performing and showcasing installations in North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea and Australia. His Smoke Machine mix has descended to us from the outer reaches of the sonic universe, bringing audiences an astonishingly eclectic array of material. Ben excels at blending amazingly disparate sound sources: the forgotten sounds of rainforest tribes mixed with avant garde musique concrete; walls of synthesized noise juxtaposed on aboriginal harmonies; bubbling vocals layered over a crooning Oval lullaby. The vast array of aural worlds is a surreal journey, each destination more unexpected than the last; in the quietude and consonance of its acapella finale, one will be left in both bewilderment and awe to ponder what it is exactly that just took place.
