We were just offered the opportunity to help promote a concert featuring the electronic musician Ben Vida who is in Edinburgh on the 12th October (this week). He's going to share the bill with Jules Rawlinson on Friday night. The venue is the atrium at the University of Edinburgh's Reid School of Music (look right to see the map).
Though the front door to this building is probably closed, someone will let you in, if you bring along a print of your ticket. Strictly, reservations only for this event and numbers are limited to 40 so book now.
Ben Vida is a composer, improviser and sound artist who lives in Brooklyn, NY. He produces compositions that utilise analogue and digital synthesis technologies and focus on aural perception and sound localisation. His practice utilizes a wide range of sound processes and expanded sonic events, and Ben uses this range of modalities to explore the social, historical and phenomenological functions of sound and music. He has released over twenty records on such labels as Thrill Jockey, Drag City, PAN, Amish, Bottrop-Boy, Hapna and Kranky.
