The duo’s first collaboration for the DiN label, although the man behind PW has already built a healthy track record for the label with his earlier works!
Bakis Sirros (PARALLEL WORLDS) and Ingo Zobel (SELF OSCILLATE) first started collaborating via the Internet in 2004. Their first album: ‘Current Flow’, under the project name: INTERCONNECTED, was released in 2010 on the Belgian VU-US label. Following this a vinyl EP of Ambient tracks called: ‘Mechanic Environments’ was released in 2013 on the Dohkonul record label.
For ‘World Adapter’, their second full collaborative album, Bakis and Ingo are using their more widely known aliases of PARALLEL WORLDS and SELF OSCILLATE respectively. Four years in the making this album is redolent with the sounds and textures of modular analogue synthesizers, instruments that both musicians are well known for employing in their music. Ingo uses a large Doepfer / Eurorack system whereas Bakis creates his complex sonic textures with Doepfer, Serge and Buchla systems as employed on his previous DiN releases: ‘Obsessive Surrealism’ (DiN26), ‘Shade’ (DiN32), ‘Exit Strategy’ (with Ian Boddy - DiN37) and ‘Morphogenic’ (with Dave Bessell - DiN41).
Once their modular improvisations are recorded they are micro-edited in Ableton Live to form the ten tracks that make up ‘World Adapter’. On the track: ‘Legend Silence’ they collaborate with the Polish singer/composer: India Czajkowska whose ethereal voice adds a distinctive flavour to this composition. The album has an IDM flavour, full of complex modulations and intricate rhythms.
The duo then hang beguiling, simple melodies around these structures to create another intriguing quality release from the DiN label., and it’s limited to just 500 copies worldwide!
‘World Adapter’ was released on 15th September 2015.
