Vitor Rua – Vidya

More than a mere anthology of improvisations, Vidya is a large collage of music lifted from innumerable improvisations and studio sessions, encompassing various styles like tape collage, found sounds, minimalism, drone, guitar solos, electroacoustic & improvised music, etc. The whole concept is brilliantly realized by Rua (with technical help from Nuno Rebelo) and the result clearly amounts to more than the sum of its parts. Hard to categorize, Vidya is a masterpiece of sound experimentalism and studio montage.
