Curves of Splendor

Curves of Splendor is a 2026 album by the prolific Belgian sound artist Dirk Serries, released through the long-standing ambient label Projekt. Building upon a career spanning over four decades, Serries utilizes his signature approach to the electric guitar and effects to construct patient, immersive soundscapes that avoid superficial tranquility in favor of structural depth. The release marks his fifth solo outing for Projekt, further cementing his transition from his influential early work as Vidna Obmana toward a more refined, minimalist exploration of drone and ambient textures. Throughout the four tracks, including "Destination Rewind" and "Oblivion Serenade," Serries demonstrates his mastery of sonic purity and organic evolution. The album stands as a testament to his enduring ability to manipulate the physical properties of his instruments to create expansive, meditative environments.
