VIDA Gibson is a Tāmaki based musician, interdisciplinary artist, world-builder, performer with a penchant for ritual. Their background is rooted in an ecology of performance, combining learnings in all components of ritual – dance, music, storytelling, mythology and ceremony, to shape change through collective ecstatic joy. Having always been surrounded by people with a deep reverence for music, VIDA’s work is a continuous exploration of music & performance as a spell for collective joy, transmutation and embodied interconnectivity.
Over the last few years, VIDA’s central project has been the development of the sonic, performative and visual world of her debut original EP Aquatopialien. Aquotopialien began as a short story about VIDA’s alien alter ego character, Takavi, sent to earth to rehydrate environmental and bodily waters through the frequency of sound. The project weaves together the 70’s soul, 90’s art pop, jazz, gospel and funk they were brought up on, with influence from contemporary icons such as Björk, Erykah Badu, and Flying Lotus. Recorded at Black Hole Studio, Pōneke and produced by Mark Austin (Vera Ellen ‘It’s Your Birthday’), Aquotopialien is a sonic ecology of terrestrial and extra-terrestrial yearnings for home and the sanctity of love.
