This
is the first collaboration by ambient master Alio Die with
soundscape creator Parallel Worlds.
The unique sound achieved could be described
as a hybrid sonic world, made out of bouncing electrons and
air vibrations. The modular machines of Parallel Worlds are
merged with the acoustic instrumentation and drones of Alio
Die, joined by the ethereal voice of the Polish
vocalist/composer India Czajkowska, resulting in a surreal,
yet down to earth, listening experience. The
compositions, being, at times, minimal and calm and, at other
times, full of mystical darkness and microsound elements, take
the listener into a place were mental and physical boundaries
have no need to exist. Parallel Worlds’ music is a combination of dreamy/atmospheric textures with analogue rhythms and sequences. Parallel Worlds use mostly huge Analogue Modulars and Analogue Step Sequencers of the past and present, combined with digital synthesis techniques. Bakis Sirros has been involved in various sound design projects and is the moderator of the Doepfer A100 modular users group, helping in the progress of the tools for experimental electronic music. Please order at: www.aliodie.com www.parallel-worlds-music.com |

Vu-us
is very proud to present their newest release: Interconnected
- “Current Flow”.(VU-US018) Interconnected is a collaborative electronica/ idm/ experimental project between Bakis Sirros (of Parallel Worlds, Memory Geist) and Ingo Zobel (of DRON, Signalform, Self Oscillate, Datasette). Both guys are heavy into analogue modular systems which makes their sound very unique and organic compared to other artists in the electronica scene who hardly use any hardware anymore. Their debut album “Current Flow” is a sonic trip where frequencies take on real life form. Each song takes you on an aural voyage to explore new worlds beyond your imagination. The opening track “Greenerblue” brings you smoothly into this new world while other tracks like “Deepestsespeed” give you the impression that you are wandering around that cold surface for ages. The design of this release might seem a bit dark rst, compared to the music itself, but it represents a so familiar ally and yet so mysterious during the night, the unknown. clips from the album here: www.myspace.com/interconnectedmusicof course the album is full of analogue modulars like the Doepfer A100, Serge modular, AS Integrator, Technosaurus Selector, Metalbox / CGS, Blacet research, (with additional Livewire, Cyndustries, Plan B modules) and Oberheim SEM, Jupiter 6, Mono/poly, MS20, SQ10, TR606, Roland System-100m, various string machines and Tape Echoes, Nord modular, Waldorf Microwave, etc, etc. |

Daren Ager: "Using the small Doepfer system as a kind of 606+303 combo, not a musical statement, just me having some fun. All the sounds and sequencing done entirely on the system shown." |
Two Dark Energy, one A-100

A template by Dimitri Pike for Ableton Live that let users takes control of the MAQ 16/3 via Ableton Live interface. It's free under a commons copyrights license (peoples can share it, use it but are not allowed making money profit out of it and needs to mention who is the creator when using it). It helps a lot to program the MAQ 16/3 from the notebook without having to search in the menu. It is not something intented to replace the fun when using a MAQ 16/3, it is to multiplicate it. |

| Question: | monoman: |
| What's the idea behind "Extrakt"? | I just wanted to use a few instruments. Each with it's unique sound. |
| What sort of instruments did you use then? | Well you can hear an Access Virus Classic, an Elektron Monomachine, a Dave Smith Evolver, a Jomox Mbase01 and a Doepfer A-100 system. |
| That's an interesting mixture of digital and analogue devices! | I think it's all about using the right balance of digital and analogue sound sources. For example the bassline of Extrakt is a Doepfer A-100. I used the Quad AD-Generator to modulate different sources. That's the trick behind that groovy bassline. |
| What are your further plans? | I'm just producing a new release in the style of "Extrakt". |

David Westling has
released a new CD, "Bum Crab Hatband", through the
website electro-music.com. "Bum Crab Hatband" mines
the territory out near the far end of socially acceptable
behavior. Atonal, virtually non-melodic, rhythmically warped,
and highly dynamic, it really defies categorization. Realized
with a small Doepfer outfit (less than 6U) plus some smatterings
of other instrumentation, this music invites the listener to
reassess his or her expectations of what constitutes the
beautiful via rather surrealistic juxtapositions of sonic
strangeness. Through a confrontation with the unfamiliar
conjoined with inklings of echoes of the past, delicious
dislocations become possible.
