SERRIES, DIRK — Zonal Disturbances II
More Info
https://zoharum.bandcamp.com/album/zonal-disturbances-ii
"Despite its title, Zonal Disturbances II is the first of five planned releases. The album presents Dirk Serries in a raw form that combines two of his areas of focus: guitar-based free improv and ambient music.
Spanning four long tracks (14-23 minutes) recorded live in the studio, Serries employs just electric guitar and a rack of effects. Through delay, loops, and other processing, there are multiple voices present most of the time, adding unsettling ambient washes to spiky distorted guitar. When not plucking abrupt or jolting individual notes, his fretwork blends into a fuzzy background that shift, moves, and evolves over time. Occasionally this background takes on a harsher presence, with feedback and static-laden passages that resemble a loose electrical connection.
For those familiar with the multiple faces of Dirk Serries, Zonal Disturbances II is a interesting amalgam of his styles. But this release should have appeal to any adventurous listener, as he explores a sparsely-populated area of ambient music." [AMN Review]
