Parallel Worlds is the main project for the Greek
musician Bakis Sirros. He has been active in the Greek
electronic music scene since 1998 having performed at
several concerts including E-PHOS electronic music
festival in summer of 2001, Mad club, Club22 (2nd
Summer in the city Festival), Music Day Festival 2006,
Small Music Theatre and the Underworld Club. He is
also involved with other muscians in collaborative
work. The new IDM project "Interconnected" with the
German IDM musician Ingo Zobel (of DRON, Signalform,
Self Oscillate) and the ambient / experimental project
"Memory Geist" with the Australian electronica
musician Steve Law (of Zen Paradox, Starseed
Transmission).
"Obsessive Surrealism" (DiN26) is his fourth album
having previously released "Existence" in 2003 on
Greek label Rubber Recordings and "Insight" in 2004
and "Far Away Light" in 2005 both on the UK label
Shima Records. He has also had tracks included on
several compilation releases.
Bakis is a great advocate of modular analogue
instruments and indeed is the moderator for the
Doepfer A100 modular users group. He has also been
extensively involved with sound design for the UK
analogue modular synthesiser company Analogue Systems.
The music of Parallel Worlds is a combination of
dreamy, atmospheric textures and pure analogue
electronic rhythms and sequences, combining the feel
of 70's electronic music with modern electronica and
ambient music. Sirros uses huge analogue modular
instruments and analogue step sequencers of the past
and present combined with digital FM, virtual analogue
synths and sampling. However he manages to elude the
fate of many of his contemporaries in not falling into
the trap of simply recycling the past. He creates a
music that lives and breathes, imbued with his own
personality and mannerisms. At one and the same time
familiar and fresh. Steady, organic rhythmic
structures are overlaid with deceptively simple
melodies that remind one of some lost John Carpenter
soundtrack.
