An Opera for Four Fusion Works is a unique project by vidnaObmana and Hypnos -- a four-CD album, released one CD at a time. The first disc will be released next month in a case (similar to the one used for Robert Rich's Humidity) that will have space for all four discs, though slots 2, 3 and 4 will be empty. The listener can then purchase the later installments as they are released gradually over the next year or two, and insert them into the case. The second, third and fourth discs will not be sold in their own cases, and will be shipped in a plastic sleeve only! This will allow us to release the project gradually, and will facilitate convenient storage for the completed four-disc set. Of course it will mean that you need to purchase the first disc in order to have a proper case for the other discs. Only when all four discs have been released, we will make available the whole set of four discs, pre-packaged together.
Naturally vidnaObmana can’t retreat into oblivion before he finalizes his epic An Opera For Four Fusion Works for the Hypnos label. His admiration for composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) solidifies musically by the participation of experimental artist Kenneth Kirschner who delivers some of the most introspective and desolate piano patterns for vidnaObmana to recycle and process. The third act is composed in memory of Morton Feldman’s breathtaking minimal music. The next intriguing step in vidna’s ambitious Opera project and must for those who love the desolate, introspective and thematic soundscapes.
