Streams Of Consciousness Compiled, by Dirk Serries

Streams Of Consciousness Compiled

by Dirk Serries

supported by

Michael Borella The eight tracks are in the 18-25 minute range and feature lilting tones and expansive – yet mysterious – atmospheres. Individual notes and reverberating guitar washes are immersive but not suffocating. Despite the apparent simplicity of the music, it resonates deeply on an emotional level, inviting the listener to engage in relaxed, thoughtful introspection.

van gone this music makes me miss memories I never had

The Vast Wilds These pieces are stunning. I could listen to this forever. They are up there with River of Appearance, which I happen to think is a perfect album. Favorite track: harmonious flare.

Dave Aftandilian I loved drifting off to DS’s compositions as vidnaObmana, and these new streams seem to flow directly down from those ideas. The shimmering guitar here has a very organic ambience. At time while listening I feel like I’m floating in deep space, at others that I am a piece of driftwood being gently rocked by ocean waves, and at still others it’s as if I’m lying stretched out in the grass, the sun gently warming my face as I watch puffy white clouds slowly drifting by.

about

Streams of Consciousness is Dirk Serries' homage and return (after the closure of vidnaObmana in 2007) to pure harmonic sonic moments. A mix of deep ambient and drone, this collection presents a nearly-3-hour selection of tracks from the 17 releases available at: streamsofconsciousness.bandcamp.com Created in real-time on electric guitar and a handful of effects in Dirk's home studio, it’s a slowflow inner exploration of sonics and emotional states. Single notes and reverberating washes of guitars ebb and flow over the course of these longform pieces. Begun in 2013, the first three Streams of Consciousness albums were pressed in ultra limited quantities on vinyl. The series then continued digitally.

Some Bandcamp fan quotes:

"Ambient guitar drone at its best from none other than the best.”

"Whatever your definition of bliss is, Dirk Serries has the power to change it forever."

"From the depths of his inner world to the ears of our sensory world, Dirk Serries is a master at the top of his game. A must have…”

"For me, Dirk Series literally walks on water. He has an amazing talent and uses it well. From his days as vidnaObmana to operating under his own name, the quality of the audio experience has always been exceptional.”

"This is one of those albums where you really begin to question what is more important, the note or the space between the notes. Perhaps it is the SOUND between the notes, the sound of the previously played note fading. Regardless, Dirk Serries paints a very gentle picture of blissful yet slightly lonely place, a place of silent introspection and reflection. Simply fantastic.”

"Sensational drones from the undisputed master of the genre.”
