With the conclusion of other remaining projects and collaborations, there’s no focus other than dirk serries’ongoing exploration of minimalism. four years in the making and undoubtly fuelled by his 2009 debut and previous mainstays vidnaObmana and fear falls burning, this second microphonics studio album is a heartbreaking symphony of echoing themes, wailing overtones and beautiful desolation. microphonics xxi-xxv, subtitled ‘mounting among the waves, there’s a light in vein. the burden of hope across thousands of rivers’ does hint towards an emotional statement, one that boldly goes beyond what previously achieved.
microphonics xxi-xxv will be out on march 16, as a limited edition double 10inch in a numbered gatefold sleeve (150 copies on white vinyl, 300 copies on black vinyl), complete with a cd copy of the album, and a cd in a deluxe mini album gatefold sleeve. copies can be pre-ordered now from our tonefloat store.
Dirk Serries' is currently undertaking a tour that brings him to most countries of southern europe. the songs are shaping up to much acclaim of the audience. dirk wil return to the north for a series of shows starting with the official release show at trix, in antwerp. to celebrate this release show we will be releasing a marbled edition of the double 10inch (plus cd) version that will be exclusively available during this show and is being pressed in a strictly limited edition of 50 copies only! another good reason to visit trix on march the 16th.
