The 2022 Edition was a special one for me, full of mixed feelings and not really in my best mental state. As soon as I was up there and got in the groove I looked up and saw all the smiles and for a moment I forgot all the bad stuff and went for the ride.
So this is my little gift to you all.

Immense thanks for all your kind words received during the festival. Before and after my set. I live for moments like this and to celebrate music in such environments with the best crowds possible.
Small, simple, good music, good people. Thats all I need.

Also thanks for continually supporting Parallel Festival. I have big plans for the future which I hope to make possible.

Love,

Alex.

IooN - Cosmic Downtempo is the multi-faceted Ambient/Psychedelic
musical form of expression of a free and barefooted soul landed from outer space in 1983.
IooN's music is a slow paced progression of soulful melodies juxtaposed with deep ambient textures and ethereal atmospheres either synthesised
and acoustic derived, to help the listeners to come in contact with their inner soul.
All is due to party experiences blended with knowloedge and curiosity about the aural medium,that’s why you will not read another “he started making music at the age of 5”.
From 2000 on, as a heavy partygoer IooN got so fascinated by the Chill Out side of events,
because this kind of music can shift your brain perception to experience a dreamy trancey state in a different way than average psytrance.
While completing his studies as a Live Audio Engineer he heard a call from within,so he started crafting his very-own form of music,a deep tribal experience, evocation of feelings.
IooN released music with the following record labels: Mystic Sound Records [RU], Spirited Records[SL], Astropilot Music [RU], Melusine Records[RO], Psyderweb Rec [NL], Gaia Psybient Collective [NL], Mindspring Music [US].

From summer 2012 IooN performed in european psychedelic festivals including: Tangra 2012[BG], Human Evolution [IT], Blackmoon festival[ IT] , Antaris Projekt [DE] ,WAO Festival [IT],Festival for Life [UK/P] Funny Moon Festival [CZ], Mystic Mountain Festival [HR], Ban Sabaii&Acid Moon Festival [TH], Ambiosonic Festival [F], Yaga Gathering [LT]

[ENG] Heliocentrism is a project which has arisen in Warsaw in 2013 as a cooperation between Antonina Nowacka (currently: WIDT, kIRk) and Kuba Karwacki. 
Debut album "Mir" was released under the name of Kuba Karwacki's solo project "Hezment" in 21 december 2012. First festival where the band played live set was Tree of Life 2013 in Turkey. Heliocentrism concerts were played in psychedelic club parties in polish biggest cities and on festivals such as Goa Dupa, Yaga Gathering (Lithuania), Gaia (Lithuania). 
The sound is generated by the electronic landscapes sensitively surrounded by transcendental vocalizing which invites listener to take part in an unusual sonic experience, floating in between the perception, form and content... 

[PL] Heliocentrism to projekt muzyczny powstały w Warszawie w 2013 roku jako kooperacja Antoniny Nowackiej (obecnie WIDT, kIRk) i Kuby Karwackiego.  
Debiutancki album "Mir" został wydany pod nazwą projektu solo Kuby Karwackiego "Hezment" 21 grudnia 2012. Pierwszym festiwalem gdzie zespół zagrał na żywo był Tree of Life 2013 w Turcji. Późniejsze koncerty odbywały się na klubowych imprezach psychodelicznych w całej Polsce i na festiwalach takich jak Goa Dupa, Yaga Gathering (Litwa), Gaia (Litwa), Ufo Bufo (Czechy).
Brzmienie Heliocentrism powstaje w harmonijnym uzupełnianiu się zarejestrowanych dźwięków naturalnych przestrzeni i odległych, podwodnych, subtelnych bitów, otoczonych transcendentalnymi wokalizami, zapraszających słuchaczy to wzięcia udziału w dźwiękowym doświadczeniu oscylującym pomiędzy formą, treścią a percepcją…
