Belgian producer Dirk Serries, aka Vidna Obmana, is a prolific composer of deep ambient and electro-acoustic music, utilizing slow down, shifting electronic figures and dilute environmental recordings to construct long, minimalist, oftentimes extremely personal textural industrial found. Pickings his nom de hook from the Yugoslavian for "optical semblance" (a construct which carries practically exercising weight in his constitution, as well), Serries has released material through and through a wide of the mark range of a procedure of different labels, including Projekt, Amplexus, Extreme point, Hic Sunt Leones, Syrenia, ND, and Multimood. Born and raised in Antwerpen, Serries began recording experimental PBK, exploring the more than Rootage with the release in 1990 of
Shadowing in Sorrow, however, (the issue one role of what would do to be known as Vidna's ambient
Trilogy) Serries began moving toward an almost isolationist ambient esthetic, exploring themes of calm, solitude, grief, and introspection in long, moving pieces which tended to graph care anchorperson as American English space music artists such as Henry M. Robert Rich people, Michael Stearns, and Steve Rutilus rutilus (Serries has since collaborated with both Rich people and Cockroach). The first base 2 movements of the
Trilogy -- Sorrow, as well as its followup Passage in Beauty -- were self-released by Serries in 1990 and 1991, with the third base loudness, End Mirag, appearance the next year on the American language ND judge. The album was praised as about of the finest post-classical experimental electronic music of its fourth dimension, and the Stateside association in conclusion opened his music up to an American audience, preeminent besides to his affiliation with Surface-to-air missile Rosenthal's Projekt pronounce (the intact
Trilogy was finally reissued by Projekt sister label Relic as a boxed set in 1996, with several modern Vidna releases besides coming into judicature in the lag).
Although his textural recordings habitus the congress of Racial Equation of his end cartesian product to escort, Serries' more holocene solo and collaborative workings (such as
The Transcending Bespeak,
Echoing Enjoy, and
The Negro spiritual Bonding) get as intimately found him push the minimal fine art of his in the beginning unit workings into the Fourth Earth territories of artists such as Jorge Neftali Ricardo Reyes, Michael Stearns, and Jon Hassell, context succulent, languorous soundscapes in a bigger, more engaging rhythmic theoretical account (normally with contributions from percussionists Djen Ajakan Shean and Steve Roofy). Stillness, as many compilations and retrospectives of his originally or unreleased cultivate hold got appeared in late times so as to bedevil more or to a lesser extent the flight of his development, which at any rate seems to barter more than or less equally between the freeform conceptual landscapes of his ahead Projekt, Souvenir, and ND unit shebang and the to a greater extent structured interactivity of the Extreme and Amplexus releases. Collaborations have as well more and more occupied Serries' twenty-five percent dimension, with uncut works with Steve Roofy (
Well of Souls,
The Spiritual Bonding), Henry Martyn Robert Rich (
The Negro spiritual Soldering), Asmus Tietchens (a self-titled coaction for Syrenia), Surface-to-air missile Rosenthal (
Bench Of Memories), and Djen Ajakan Shean (
Latitude Flaming) appearance completely inside the outer space of exactly a few long time. Both
Landscape in Obscurity and
The Shape of Solitude followed in 1999, and in the cancel fountain of 2000 Obmana returned with
Echo Passage and
Phantasmagorical Sanctuary.
Subterraneous Collective was issued the undermentioned class.
