Dirk Serries’ latest excursion serves up soft, layered, sculpted loops combined with floating textures which meld into deeply flowing melodic tones as five distinct aural pathways forge an ambient landscape along a serendipitous sonic journey.
It presents the listener with a calming and sustaining collection of beautiful atmospheres (with an occasional, subtle, feedback-oriented growl).
Mr. Serries, while still (undoubtedly) striving for the next rung on the ethereal ladder, has perfected the craft of guitar drone-scaping (along with layering effects) and has cemented his “star, sublime” into the annals of outstanding ambient axe-men.
Standout tracks (for me): Carved Into Oscillation & A Soft Glow.
In a word . . . “Wonderful!”
