Dirk Serries is a Belgian sound artist renowned for over 30 years of exploration in ambient, experimental, and free improvisation music. Initially recording as Vidna Obmana from 1984 to 2007, he earned global acclaim for his atmospheric compositions. Transitioning to projects like Fear Falls Burning and the Microphonics series, Serries collaborated with artists such as Steven Wilson, Justin K. Broadrick, and Steve Roach. In 2013, he revisited his ambient roots, crafting guitar-based soundscapes that emphasize sonic purity and organic textures.
