• DIRK SERRIES - 'Defiance Of Self' CD

After "The Disintegration Of Silence", a continuation of the work between Belgian ambient musician Dirk Serries (Vidna Obmana, Fear Falls Burning, Continuum) and visual artist Stefano Gentile, Dirk returns with a new album, entitled "Defiance Of Self".

In the wake of its predecessor, Serries used his motherboard of pedals and an electric guitar to create this slightly darker and experimental album. Once again performed and recorded entirely in real-time, and embracing the willful character of some of his outboard pedal effects, Dirk allows them to lead direction of each piece. "Defiance Of Self" is alienating, expansive, utterly eerie and inventive, as the author continues to consolidate a new creative path that's clearly his own. Let yourself be absorbed in this dark realm of thematic soundscapes.

"Serries manages to make the guitar sound unlike the guitar, giving the music a more organ-like quality, almost as if he uses some granular synthesis and pitch-shifting harmonics. The last track, 'Vigil', is the most ambient, whereas the others have an excellent atmospheric unrest feeling... the space I am in fills up beautifully with sound" (Vital Weekly).

Ltd x 250 copies in a mini-LP sleeve, with printed inner sleeve.
