DIRK SERRIES – ZONAL DISTURBANCES II
(cd, ZOHARUM 2025)
officially out on April 5th 2025Following DIRK SERRIES’ recent albums the composer continues to explore different sonic terrain. Still on the electric guitar with a motherboard of analog pedals, the 4 tracks on ZONAL DISTURBANCES II start to give signs of a new signature style of ambience Dirk is constructing. Organic, brooding and eerie. All recorded live on the spot creating music that still showcases the artist’s fondness for minimalism and slow repetitive clusters of sound while tying connections with his roots in industrial and experimental music. Foremost he continues, after 4 decades in the scene, to etalate his artistry in creating provocative, unique and genre-bending ambient music. Dirk Serries is a musical force to reckon with and to be finally rewarded for his wilful and unique voice in an ever increasing superficial music industry.
MARTINA VERHOEVEN/LUIS LOPES/DIRK SERRIES – INVINCIBLE TIME
(cdr, Raw Tonk Records)Quality label RAW TONK RECORDS never shies away from a challenge and this release is no exception. A gathering of three wilful musical characters in the beautiful resonance of the Oude Klooster chapel in Brecht (Belgium). Guitarists Luis Lopes (Portugal) and Dirk Serries (Belgium) and pianist Martina Verhoeven (Belgium), this time on the electric piano, creating a nightmare-ish live soundtrack to a fictional David Cronenberg movie. From a calm jazzy opener to dense clusters throughout, steering this live concert towards peaks of noise, frenetic interaction and an unique tonality. Now availabe from today (bandcamp Friday) on as pre-order at the Raw Tonk Records bandcamp.
