With over 40 years of sonic experimentation \u2014 including his many albums as VidnaObmana \u2014 Dirk&#8217;s <strong>Treasure Of Stars<\/strong> is a return to his trademark melancholic ambient dwellings. Created in real-time on electric guitar and a handful of effects, it\u2019s a shimmering slowflow exploration of textures and emotional states. Transcendent and esoteric soundscapes facilitate moments of solitary reflection.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Projekt\u2019s 2024 release, <strong>Streams Of Consciousness Compiled<\/strong>, was such a success with the label&#8217;s fanbase that the decision was easily made to return with a new album exclusively recorded for Projekt. The serene tones and expansive \u2013 yet mysterious \u2013 atmospheres are constructed live solely on the electric guitar. Individual notes and reverberating washes ebb and flow over the course of these longform pieces. <\/p>\n<p><BR>For those who wished VidnaObmana was still around releasing albums, the wait it over. This release invites repeated listenings as one is gently rocked by warm, starlit washes of sound.<\/p>\n<p><BR><u>Press excerpts from 2024:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><BR>\u2022 A slowflow inner exploration of sonics and emotional states\u2026 Dirk Serries\u2019 homage and return to pure harmonic sonic moments. This music is purely \u2018in-the-moment\u2019 ambient.<br \/>\n<BR>\u2022 The sounds here are gentle ambiance with slow-moving chord patterns, airy textures, and a peaceful mood.<br \/>\n<BR>\u2022 Despite the apparent simplicity of the music, it resonates deeply on an emotional level, inviting the listener to engage in relaxed, thoughtful introspection.<br \/>\n<BR>\u2022 Serries constructs serene soundscapes that facilitate moments of solitary reflection. He engages with the notion that the notes you do not play can be just as important as the notes that are played, thus using space as an auxiliary instrument.<br \/>\n<BR>\u2022 At times while listening I feel like I\u2019m floating in deep space, at others that I am a piece of driftwood being gently rocked by ocean waves, and at still others it\u2019s as if I\u2019m lying stretched out in the grass, the sun gently warming my face as I watch puffy white clouds slowly drifting by.<br \/>\n<BR>\u2022 Slow flowing evolutionary washes of sonic color full of warmth and emotion.<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: February 28, 2025<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/treasure-of-stars-streams-of-consciousness TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,556,496,149],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-29651","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-digital","product_cat-dirk-serries-artists","product_cat-drone","pa_artist-dirk-serries","pa_format-digital-only","pa_label-projekt-archive","pa_release-year-983","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/29651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29651"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=29651"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=29651"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=29651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
