   About Parallel Worlds
Parallel Worlds' music is a combination of dreamy/atmospheric textures with pure analogue electronic rhythms and sequences, combining the feel of modern electronica and ambient with 70's electronic 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 7 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). Bakis also participates in an Ambient / experimental project called Memory Geist with Steve Law (of Zen Paradox, Starseed Transmission, Guild Of Fire, etc.).

Parallel Worlds are also currently working on a collab album with established Italian ambient musician Alio Die (Stefano Musso).

Reactions about the "Shade" cd album from CUEMIX Magazine (www.cuemix-magazine.com) :

"Shade will be one of the most essential electronic albums 2009 – that’s for sure! "

Reactions about the "Obsessive Surrealism" cd album from Synth Music Direct (www.synthmusicdirect.com) :

"Parallel Worlds / Obsessive Surrealism: An amazingly inventive rhythmic / melodic release that sounds quite like nothing I have heard before but is so listenable without any of the too 'difficult' moments that often comes with such inventive releases. This is probably the best release on the DiN label so far. Deserves to be huge."
