Vidna Obmana ♪
Vidna Obmana is a pseudonym of
Belgian composer and ambient musician Dirk Serries. Dirk
Serries chose the name Vidna Obmana for his musical persona because it
means "optical illusion" in Serbian language. Thirteen years hence,
Vidna Obmana still finds that the name gives him a feeling of freedom
to place his music first, before his own personality and philosophy.
As a self-taught electronic musician, Vidna Obmana explored different
musical areas before discovering the techniques of looping and shaping
harmonies, merging layers of sound and minimizing the
configurations to a few notes. His style of atmospheric music
creates trance-like states in listeners who understand the
language of sound.
Embracing the challenge to leap into unknown and uncharted terrain,
Vidna Obmana refines his minimalistic sound-sculpting while
expanding the range of rhythms and performance on various acoustic
instruments, like the fascinating Slovakian overtone flute "Fujara",
and combining his array of sounds with contemporary elements, slowly
changing pace with a great interest in the avantgarde. Vidna Obmana
released over thirty-four albums.
Dirk Serries' music has often been described as isolationist and
organic. Throughout Vidna Obmana's career, he has explored the
abrasive side of electronic composition, the freeform landscapes of
the isolationist ambient aesthetic, the structured interactivity of
Fourth World soundworlds, international music traditions and
post-classical experimentations.
