DiN48 - Parallel Worlds & Self Oscillate - World Adapter
Ingo Zobel (Self Oscillate) and Bakis Sirros (Parallel Worlds) 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, Ingo and Bakis are using their more widely known aliases of Self Oscillate and Parallel Worlds respectively. Four years in the making this album is redolent with the sounds and textures of modular analogue synthesisers which 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.

new great review (by Tobias Fischer, on the German Beat magazine) of Parallel Worlds & Self Oscillate - 'World Adapter' (DiN48) cd album :Parallel Worlds
& Self Oscillate:
World Adapter
Auf der Rückseite dieser CD
findet sich eine an sich beeindruckende
Equipment-Liste. Doch tun sich
Bakis Sirros und Ingo Zobel damit selbst Unrecht.
Denn es macht gerade die Magie ihrer
Musik aus, dass sie die Begrenzungen von Platinen,
Halbleitern und Oszillatoren hinter sich
lässt und elektronische Signale zu emotionalen
Botschaften dechifriert. Ihr Weltadapter ist die
Schnittstelle zu einem Mikrokosmos, auf dem
geheimnisvolle Melodien, brüchige Beats und
knarzige Bässe zum Tanz der Zurückhaltung bitten,
bei dem einzelne Elemente nur gelegentlich
sanft nach vorne treten, um dann wieder in
das kollektive Fließen zurückzufallen. Eine stille
Verheißung.
Stil: Electronica, IDM
