Title Description:
The moniker vidnaObmana was chosen by this Belgian composer for his musical persona because it means 'optical illusion.' Eighteen 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.
