DIRK SERRIES – THE DISINTEGRATION OF SILENCE
(250 copies CD with a 28 pages 8″ booklet, Silentes)
Stefano Gentile and Dirk Serries met almost 30 years ago when Stefano’s Amplexus label released Vidna Obmana’s the seminal classic ‘The Transcending Quest’ on a limited 3”CD. Fast forward 20 years later, after the closure of Dirk Serries’ critically acclaimed Vidna Obmana project, Stefano and Dirk, under his own name, regathered with another gem ‘The Devastation Chant’, a limited 8” and 10” on Gentile’s new label Silentes/13 that used Stefano’ own impressive collage art work. Now again, after 4 years, Dirk Serries – fully operational under his own name as a free (jazz) improviser, continues to frequently return to his trademark ambient music while continuing to push himself as an artist and sculptor of the ambient. THE DISINTEGRATION OF SILENCE is Dirk’s new album that, partially inspired by the melancholic collage art work of Stefano Gentile, plays with the sound he has been worldwide so recognized and appreciated for almost 4 decades while, so typical for Dirk’s ongoing knack for adventure, expands the comfort of his ambience with alienating analog and real-time treatments. An album that has been performed solely on electric guitar in conjunction with an alliance of pedal effects. No computer was used. Enjoy this breathtaking album of melancholy and introspection, marking it as another chapter in the collaboration between Stefano Gentile and Dirk Serries.
