 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.

I am soundtracking the Anthropocene.

This endeavor in synthetic sound design has been my homage to Arthur C. Clarke's lost-then-found spacefarer, 'Frank Poole.' Pervasive and ubiquitous technologies now threaten to dispose of the biosphere—just as HAL 9000 disposed of Frank Poole.

The distance which now separates each person from the next is as timeless and frigid as the vast abyss of space itself. Perhaps this merits contemplation of the origins of our predicament and the ontology which accepts this novel cultural norm as natural.

My anthropological inquiries tend toward the meta-ontological, pursuing the relationship between models of reality and human cultural activity.

"Presence has an inverse relationship to language; it is most apparent when people are silent."
- John Zerzan

"For monkeys to speak of truth is hubris of the highest degree. Where is it writ large that talking-monkeys should be able to model the cosmos? If a sea urchin or a racoon were to propose to you that it had a viable truth about the universe, the absurdity of that assertion would be self-evident, but in our case we make an exception."
- Terence McKenna

"A universe purged of all threat of meaning, in a state of asepsis and weightlessness - it is this very perfection that is fascinating... we are dumbfounded by the perfection of the programming and the technical manipulation... Vertigo of the model, which unites with the model of death, but without fear or drive."
- Jean Baudrillard

"Bacteria don't respect political dogma any more than they recognize political boundaries and jurisdictions."

"...perhaps our efforts have peaked, and the fruits of discovery have left their seeds, indigestible and toxic."
