Villa Vide is the enigmatic French atmospheric Coldwave project of Orson Wald, whose dark yet summery DIY Official Video/song, “Distant Zone,” takes a slow waltz into an unknown territory and is also a dedication to all who share discomfort with social contracts.
Ethereal and lysergic, a humming bass floor grounds a thick murky realm of heavy plodding beats, and suspended blurry stirring shivers of solemn chiming guitar melodies laced with plaintive distorted drifts, and tinkly harpsichord-like swirling arpeggio, as drowsy baritone vocals deeply long to live quietly alone in a “Distant Zone.”
There is a second dedication attached to the song, “to all the people who enjoy wild nature, forests, oceans and mystery”, experienced in the breath-taking DIY visuals, shot on location along the Dordogne and the Lot in France, and by the sea of Brittany in Finistère. The Art installations are by Henk Slomp.
Wind-blown white fabrics, flowers and light orbs set a whimsical mood for a translucent Villa Vide, playing the guitar like a ghost in an ethereal realm of summer magic. Prismatic rays strategically bleed lush color into more abstract natural landscapes to create a spiritual, timeless effect where starlight penetrates the sea before swirling into a fantasy of snowing petals.
