THE VOID OF EXPANSION – ESCAPER
(2xLP, Dunk!Records)
Tomas Järmyr & Dirk Serries’ THE VOID OF EXPANSION is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year with a new album called ESCAPER on Dunk! Records and a tour they just did throughout Belgium, Poland, Germany, and Norway (Oslo). This 3rd studio album departs gently from their predecessor GOVERNED BY DECAY with a more direct approach in building up the guitar soundscapes and the interaction with the majestic and versatile drumming of Tomas Järmyr. Still very expansive but the 4 pieces are signficantly their own while being part of the realm VOID has been created over these past 10 years.

(cd, Cloudchamber Recordings)
“At Future Dawn” is the second Cloudchamber release for Dirk Serries. Picking up where Dirk left off with “Nocturnal Discord”, this album pushes those ambient boundaries once more. Known since the early eighties for his trademark ambient music under the Vidna Obmana pseudonym, Dirk continues to steer his music into new territory using a motherboard of pedal effects and one electric guitar. “At Future Dawn” contains music that constantly breaks down and build itself up again, all done real-time without any specific editing apart from EQ-ing and mixing. The music becomes an organic flow of processing the guitar, carefully analyzing the tonalities to create 6 songs of beauty, introspection and abstractness all at once. Let yourself be immersed in this new world Dirk Serries is creating.
