VidnaObmana

VidnaObmana

vidnaObmana is the pseudonym used by Belgian composer and ambient musician Dirk Serries whose music has often been described as isolationist and organic. He has chosen the name Vidna Obmana for his musical persona because it means "optical illusion" in Serbian language. vidnaObmana has collaborated on several occasions with artists such as Asmus Tietchens, Brannan Lane, Capriolo Trifoglio, Diego Borotti, and Steve Roach. Some of these collaborations have become entire projects of their own, such as "Continuum" (collaboration with Bass Communion) and "Principle of Silence" (collaboration with Joris De Backer). "Fear Falls Burning" was a vidnaObmana side project (now presumably his main project).

In an April 2007 statement on his website, vidnaObmana has stated that his 23-year use of the pseudonym has always been for the purpose of focusing attention on his art and not on himself. In some venues, the is rendered as VidnaObmana or Vidna Obmana. With that being said, Dirk Serries has ended vidnaObmana as his focal artistic output.
