Bakis Sirros possesses a refined instinct for shaping modular soundscapes, his approach grounded in a lineage traced back to early sonic navigators, where vintage machinery murmurs from afar and expansive emotional horizons gradually unfold.
His latest collaboration with Neo Ouija presents sound and vision in genuine metamorphosis, and stands as a clear highlight in our Best of 2025. Emerging from shadow and drifting at a distance, opener “Rejected” glides through calm blips, bleeps, and ambient electronic flutter, darker currents offset by an uplifting charge that gently invites reflection. “Logic Bending” follows, lifting atmosphere while rhythmic forms remain in motion; Sirros settles into downtempo strata, threading delicate fragments through soft glitch and shimmer, a familiar motif from his catalog quietly detonating from within.
Gentler moments surface in the sedated circuitry of “Soft Rain,” rise toward the IDM-tinged grace of “Dreamwave,” then culminate in the fully transporting journey that closes the record, “Inertia.” Here, Parallel Worlds opens broad sonic plateaus, carefully assembled with devotion to enigmatic realms, passing through luminous and obscured corridors alike, guiding listeners effortlessly between unseen dimensions. A masterclass in ambient electronic propulsion.
The visual fluidity and morphing forms of the cover’s art—where shapes seem to ripple and melt like liquid caught between states—are mirrored in the music itself, as Parallel Worldsquite literally opens doorways to other dimensions.
