Victor Gama - SOL(t)O part2

SOL(t)O is a multimedia solo show by Victor Gama featuring pieces for Acrux, Toha and Dino, from the Pangeia Instrumentos series of contemporary musical instruments, and projected footage from his Tectonik:TOMBUA project in the Namibe desert.
In SOL(t)O, Victor Gama develops a sound palette with his instruments that square the circle between Gamelan music, the work of turn of the century composers such as Eric Satie, and the music of the twentieth century minimalists Steve Reich, Michael Nyman or Arvo Part. Performing the instruments he has created, the Pangeia Instrumentos, name of the critically-acclaimed album launched by Aphex Twin on Rephlex Records, Gama pushes the envelop of folk based structures while mixing sounds from his lap-top and electronic loop stations.
SOL(t)O is a multimedia show that has recently been presented in major international venues such as the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Dinkelspiel Hall in California or the Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon, along the celebrated Kronos Quartet.

A little more about Victor Gama and Pangeia Instrumentos:
Pangeia Instrumentos are musical instruments built as part of a writting process that Victor Gama has been developing over the last 20 years.

Gama is part of the "Berimbau-Ungu" project with the legendary Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos with whom he has recently toured in Southern Africa.
