About Me |
|
| Parallel Worlds' music is a combination of dreamy/atmospheric textures with pure analogue electronic rhythms and sequences, combining the feel of 70s electronic music with modern electronica and ambient music. For Parallel Worlds, melody is essential, but most important is emotional context. Parallel Worlds' tracks try to reach to the listener's heart and mind. Parallel Worlds use mostly Hardware machines. Mainly huge Analogue Modular systems and Analogue Step Sequencers of the past and present combined with digital FM and virtual analogue synths and sampling. Parallel Worlds are the main project of Bakis Sirros(with some ocassional collaborators). They were originaly born in 1994, but only after 1998 they started to be a part of the active greek electronic music scene. In parallel, Bakis Sirros is the moderator of the Doepfer A100 modular users group helping, in an important way, the progress of the tools for experimental electronic music in the 21st century. He has also done some extensive sound design work, as well as a Sample CD, for the well-known UK analogue modular synthesizer company Analogue Systems. During these last 6 years, Parallel Worlds have played live also, participating in the E-PHOS electronic music festival in summer of 2001, Mad club, Club22, Music day festival 2006, Small Music Theatre, Synch Festival 2008 and in some other greek venues. Recently, Bakis Sirros has also started a new IDM/electronica project called Interconnected with Ingo Zobel (of DRON , Signalform , Self Oscillate , Datasette) and also a new Ambient / experimental project called Memory Geist with Steve Law (of Zen Paradox , Starseed Transmission, Guild Of Fire, etc.) You can buy Parallel Worlds cd albums, on the Web, here: you can buy Parallel Worlds FLAC's (lossless format files!) and MP3's here: http://www.musiczeit.com You can buy Parallel Worlds MP3's here: www.apple.com/itunes/ http://musicstore.connect.com/ http://music.msn.com/ http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/ (and many other Digital Downloads sites) Discography: Albums: Existence (CD)(2003) Rubber Recordings.
