Dirk Serries

Dirk Serries (antwerp, belgium) has been making experimental music since the mid-eighties, first under the name vidnaObmana, and since 2005 as fear falls burning. whereas the latter project is an ongoing exploration of the apparent no-man's land between metal and drones, he is now returning to his roots under his own name, going back to the minimal concept of atmosphere, themes, and structure. the intrinsic sound of electric guitar plays the central role, and is accordingly, in the shape of a gibson 1976 les paul custom, a small arsenal of effects and a fender hot rod tube amp, the sole source of sound. the top layers have been scraped off, and his personal new series, called microphonics (named after the natural resonances of a tube amp), consists of the ultimate simplicity of subtle guitar patterns, harmony, and composition.
