Green Inferno
Kranky
ELECTRONIC
Best known for his work in TOWN & COUNTRY, who have been experimenting in acoustic resonance, minimalist composition and world music for the past seven years, BEN VIDA aka BIRD SHOW has been a prominent player in the Chicago music scene, placing himself at the nexus between improvised and acoustic minimalist music. He has played with CENTRAL FALLS, TERMINAL 4, PILLOW and EVERYONED. \'Green Inferno\' is his second solo recording. Ben recorded and edited \'Green Inferno\' at home on a digital 16 track recorder, singing and playing violin, cornet, accordion, acoustic guitar, organ, qrareb (Moroccan castanets), tambourine and mbira, and integrating field recordings from Tokyo and Puerto Rico.
Lattices of percussion blur in mesmerizing fashion, voices sing out over gongs, cicadas, and helicopters, trenchant drones break into conversations and then into song.
