Dirk Serries - Unseen Descending And Lamentations

Do we really need to introduce Dirk Serries?  In fact, do we have to write a review about his latest
release?  After all, Serries is almost a deity in the ambient and drone genres. His projects Microphonics and VidnaObmana are known allover the world for creating high quality music and sound art.  Everybody who's into this kind of music knows you can expect no less then a brilliant album when Dirk Serries is involved. He simply never disappoints...

A few days ago I reviewed his latest colleboration with Rutger Zuydervelt, another excellent album.  However, on the same day Unseen Descending And Lamentations was released, also by Consouling Sounds.  This album shows the naked, minimal approach of Dirk Serries, alone on a chair with his guitar and a huge array of effect pedals.  I've witnessed this set-up many times and each time it has the same enchanting atmosphere.

This album, containing two lengthy parts, is more of the same goodness.  This is music to enjoy with your eyes closed, in a very comfortable position.  Just let your mind wonder off, along with the drones and soundscapes. Somewhere along the line you will reach a point where the reality of the music meets the imagination of your brain to create a beautiful, dreamlike state.  Even though you will be awake, you will dream.  'Part 2' does that even better.  These are probably the best twenty minutes I've ever heard of Dirk Serries solo-work.

In fact, for me personally, Dirk Serries is one of the people who are best at creating that wonderful and intense atmosphere and on this release it's exactly the same.  Although I get a bit confused by the drilling drone at the end of 'Part 1' (it resembles a unknown mechanical drone I often hear around this house).  Unseen Descending And Lamentations clearly is another high quality album that every drone/ambient fan should have in his collection...
