DESCRIPTION
==================
Vidna Obmana, nee Dirk Serries, released a set back in 1993 titled "Soundtrack Voor Het Aquarium." The Antwerp Zoo commissioned the work to commemorate their 150th anniversary and their new aquarium exhibit. Dirk shared the work with The Hybrids. They only printed 500 copies and sales were almost exclusively handled at the aquarium. (I bought a copy of the original at Hear's Music in Tucson. I was there last May for the Steve Roach/Jorge Reyes event.) Most purchasers were not electronic music fans. They purchased the CD as a souvenir.
It had long been unavailable. Until now!
Dirk remastered his tapes. He mastered a tape of a live performance of the soundtrack. The entire package is now available from - you guessed it! - Hypnos.
This CD is almost perfect! It features the minimalist style of Dirk's other works from this era. The aquatic and nautical samples augment the drone and add depth and density to the proceedings. The experimental textures also give the soundscape a space music feel. This music would also be appropriate for a planetarium show. There are absolute space music elements to the aquasphere.
The live CD is every bit as monumental as the studio commission. It is shorter in length but not in feeling or depth. Dirk was able to transfer all of the energy and enthusiasm to the concert stage.
This historic release is in the "can't miss" zone. Thank you, Dirk! Thank you, Mike!
