Our guest this episode is Dirk Serries, a fantastic human and musician who has been creating since the 80s with Vidna Obmana, Fear Falls Burning and most recently his 2nd collaboration with Justin K. Broadrick, Loud As Giants, which released an album, Empty Homes, on April 28 2023. Dirk was an awesome hang and we get into his earliest music creation, his discovery of synths, samplers, and much later guitars, and real talk about being a full-time artist/musician with a full-time work life to balance. Be sure to check out the album at the link below and if you're in Belgium catch Loud As Giants at Dunk Festival in Ghent on May 18, 2023. I hope you enjoy this episode!
