The goal was set to input sounds of life and mix them with my own sound output.
To do so, i designed a blend of computer-made ambient loops with field recordings and sound design. The field recordings where taken as i traveled from Baja California to Ciudad de México, mostly from airports, planes, streets, parks, animals and my voice. As a result, the album consists in 7 lengthy tracks of minimalistic transitions.
The structure of every track is loop-based, therefore you can listen to the same sounds at the beginning then at the end, they will repeat through the entirety of the piece, therefore i chose to call it ''Versa''. In spanish, my mother tongue, it means ''To spin around something'', and ''To set a topic or theme'', however it seemed fit to the album and applied as a wordplay to name every track.

Philippe Blanche / Igloo Magazine review:
New monthly releases from one now key actor in the promotion of craft-based ambient and post-classical soundscapes. Once more the interest is put on newcomers and promising projects in those delicately meditative home listening genres. All tracks have been designed and recorded by sound artist Ernesto André Pereda Vidal (aka Biuddha). This is one pleasant, gently flowing sound excursion along sinuous waves and sonic experimentations mainly provided by massively processed field recordings. Looped sequences are brought to the fore to structure a very soothing, and perceptually hypnotic sound artifact. Suspenseful, enveloping textures also guide the listener in a vast space of infinite quietness. Nothing new here but a recommended effort if you are into relaxing downtempo ambient reveries and liquid dreams, notably the work of Harold Budd, Taylor Deupree, Loscil, Oophoi but also in the most ethereally-soothing works of Rapoon on tape loops (Time Frost).

Beautiful, carefully constructed ambient reflection on decay and loss from Portland producer Graintable; each track has its own life cycle. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 23, 2019
Designed to mirror the reverence of meditative spaces, the gentle ambient tracks on the new LP from Alejandro Morse envelop you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
I can't even compare this to the original. One can't even talk about which one would be better, because this is somehow another kind of ambient, with extra melody and extra layers of sound. BVCVLEI
