Dirk Serries, anche conosciuto con gli pseudonimi Vidna Obmana (o vidnaObmana) e Fear Falls Burning (Anversa, 4 ottobre 1968), è un compositore belga.

Il termine Vidna Obmana, che significa "illusione ottica" in lingua serba, venne scelto dal musicista perché riteneva che rappresentasse fedelmente la sua musica.^[1] Serries mantenne quell'alias a partire dal 1984, anno del suo debutto musicale fino al 2007, anno in cui decise di abbandonarlo ufficialmente a favore di Fear Falls Burning.^[2][3] Durante la sua carriera, Serries ha collaborato con moltissimi artisti fra cui Asmus Tietchens, Brannan Lane, Capriolo Trifoglio, Diego Borotti, Steve Roach e Chihei Hatakeyama.^[4] Ha anche collaborato in veri e propri progetti quali Continuum (una collaborazione con Bass Communion) e Principle of Silence (una collaborazione con Joris De Backer).

La musica di Dirk Serries è stata spesso definita "anamorfica" ed "organica", e viene realizzata alterando e mettendo in loop le armonie, nonché riducendo al minimo le configurazioni da poche note.^[5] Il compositore viene spesso citato fra i rappresentanti del dark ambient.^[6][7]
