Ben Vida, a guitarist and trumpeter from a Chicago quartet called Town & Country, switched sweet ballads for dancing tunes. He’s making abstract electronic music that combines analog and digital synthesizers. By evoking sounds of acoustic instruments and nature sounds, a very relaxing tune is achieved.
He’ll be playing a new piece, “Damaged Particulates,” this week. (8 p.m. Thursday, Issue Project Room, 22 Boerum Place, Downtown Brooklyn, 718-330-0313, issueprojectroom.org; $10 suggested donation.)
