Since his first releases by way of vidnaObmana in the early ’80s, and later as Fear Falls Burning (2005 – 2012), uncompromising Belgian artist Dirk Serries has garnered respect from and invitations to collaborate with recognised musicians like Steven Wilson, Steve Von Till, Justin Broadrick, Cult Of Luna and Alan Sparhawk of Low.

Fascinated by the power of purity, he has built a reputation for building a personal galaxy of harmony and dissonance through dense kaleidoscopes of slowly unfolding motives. Now, Dirk Serries no longer considers it necessary to hide behind alter-egos. Confident enough to operate under his own name, he’s currently creating a perfect sonic space by the simplest of musical material – a minor arpeggio or a simple loop engaged in dialogue with digital processing only to sculpt ambient drone, huge in scale and monumental in lyrical sophistication.

Dirk Serries upcoming second microphonics album is a further refinement of this approach. Eschewing stereotypical genre exercises, Serries refuses to be labeled as a guitarist, wielding his instrument in a way that never denies its original tonal colours, while bringing out the unique intimacy of his music.
