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.

Forgot about this thread

This one is a remake of my entry for the One Synth Challenge using Charlatan. I kept one self-made Charlatan patch but changed the others with Nicky Romero Kick synth and Hive, then added some SFX wave files.

Many uses bandcamp in these pages - either I haven't learned yet the fuctionality or the service sucks from the listener point of view, e.g. how to fastforward in the bandcamp? Being not able to do so restricts at least my use of the bandcamp, you rather skip the whole song instead of suffer some long boring part, which is sad because then you miss a potentially good song. In Soundcloud you can freely set the point where you start listening and skip sections if you want quickly get the picture of the whole album, e.g. H.

You can drag the "play cursor" across the track timeline on the Bandcamp site, at least in Chrome and IE. It should work in Firefox too.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am using a Windows7 PC.

I just tried it on my Xperia (Chrome) and it works via WiFi, not so well via 3G.

It doesn't work on my Android tablet. Must be OS version dependent
