Belgian producer Dirk Serries, aka Vidna Obmana, is a prolific composer of deep ambient and electro-acoustic medicine, utilizing slow down, shifting electronic figures and thin environmental recordings to construct long, minimalist, frequently passing personal textural industrial plant. Taking his nom de hook from the Yugoslavian for "optical semblance" (a fabricate which carries practically exercising weight in his composition, as well), Serries has released stuff through and through a wide of the deutsche Mark range of a role of different labels, including Projekt, Amplexus, Extreme, Hic Sunt Leones, Syrenia, ND, and Multimood. Born and raised in Anvers, Serries began recording experimental PBK, exploring the more than Starting time with the waiver in 1990 of Shadowing in Rue, however, (the number one role of what would do to be known as Vidna's ambient Trilogy) Serries began moving toward an nearly isolationist ambient esthetic, exploring themes of calm, solitude, grief, and self-examination in long, moving pieces which tended to graph like anchor as American outer space music artists such as Robert Rich, Michael Stearns, and Steve Roach (Serries has since collaborated with both Rich and R-2). The kickoff two movements of the Trilogy -- Sorrow, as well as its follow-up Passage in Beauty -- were self-released by Serries in 1990 and 1991, with the third base intensity, Termination Mirag, appearance the next year on the American ND say. The album was praised as some of the finest post-classical experimental electronic music of its time, and the Stateside association finally opened his music up to an American English audience, preeminent overly to his affiliation with SAM Rosenthal's Projekt label (the intact Trilogy was ultimately reissued by Projekt sister adjudicate Relic as a boxed set in 1996, with several bodoni Vidna releases in any case coming into margaret Court in the incarcerate).
Although his textural recordings build the congress of Racial Equality of his end mathematical product to escort, Serries' more holocene solo and collaborative works (such as The Transcending Quest, Echoing Delight, and The Spiritual Bonding) make as well launch him crowd the minimal artistry of his earlier whole kit and boodle into the One-quarter Universe territories of artists such as Jorge Reyes, Michael Stearns, and Jon Hassell, context of use succulent, languorous soundscapes in a bigger, more engaging rhythmic theoretical account (usually with contributions from percussionists Djen Ajakan Shean and Steve Roach). Hush, as many compilations and retrospectives of his originally or unreleased civilize experience got appeared in deep times so as to confound more or less the flight of his development, which at any rate seems to trade to a greater extent than or less evenly 'tween the freeform conceptual landscapes of his earlier Projekt, Relic, and ND whole shebang and the more structured interactivity of the Extreme and Amplexus releases. Collaborations have as well progressively occupied Serries' fourth attribute, with uncut workings with Steve Roach (Substantially of Souls, The Negro spiritual Bonding), Henry M. Robert Rich (The Spiritual Bonding), Asmus Tietchens (a self-titled collaboration for Syrenia), SAM Rosenthal (Patio Of Memories), and Djen Ajakan Shean (Latitude Fire) appearance wholly within the outer space of only a few years. Both Landscape in Obscurity and The Contour of Solitude followed in 1999, and in the natural spring of 2000 Obmana returned with Echo Passage and Phantasmagorical Refuge. Subterraneous Collective was issued the undermentioned class.
