Beneath Fear

Bass in yo face make you wanna have a taste. (((:)))

I mellom buskene vi stirret
På de som minnet om andre tider
Og fortalte at håpet var borte
For alltid...


Vi hørte alvesang og vann
Som sildret
Det som en gang var er nu borte
Alt blodet
All lengsel og sorg som hersket
Og de følelser som kunne røres
Er vekk
For alltid...


Vi døde ikke
Vi har aldri levd

 Parallel Worlds music is a combination of dreamy/atmospheric textures with pure analogue electronic rhythms and sequences, combining modern electronica and ambient music with the feel of 70s electronic music. For Parallel Worlds, melody is essential, but most important is emotional context. PW tracks try to reach to the listener's heart and mind.

Parallel Worlds use huge Analogue Modulars 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 John Sirros). 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. Also, recently, Bakis Sirros completed an extensive sound design project for a well-known Modular Analogue synthesizers UK company.

During these last 8 years, Parallel Worlds have played live also, participating in the E-PHOS electronic music festival in summer of 2001, Mad club, Club22, European music day festival 2006, Small Music Theatre, Underworld, Synch Festival 2008, Reworks 2009 and in some other Greek venues.

Bakis Sirros has also started a collaboration with Italian ambient master Alio Die, an IDM/electronica project called Interconnected with Ingo Zobel (of DRON, Signalform, Self Oscillate, Datasette) and an Ambient / experimental project called Memory Geist with Steve Law (of Zen Paradox, Starseed Transmission, Guild Of Fire, etc.)

Influences all these years have been the music of Autechre, Plaid, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Pete Namlook, Biosphere, Plone, Brian Eno, Seefeel and other experimental artists. 

RVM produces music to keep you up a night. Not dancing, per se, but instead shivering in the corner surrounded by religious icons waiting for the dawn. Shivering.

Formed in 2009 from the ashes of Institute 1999 and Force Majeure, using sound as a means to create sustained amibience and mood. Not always good moods. 

Latest collaborations include work with the spinning nuns of destiny and Rose Hertz, accomplished performance poet who has been in semi-retirement since 1998 writing mind opening passages and rhymes.
