PREMIERE: INSIDE/OUTSIDE @ BEK
We had a great time in Bergen premiering our latest piece, Inside/Outside!
Inside/Outside is a new work and collaboration with Anders Tveit.
It challenges the boundaries between the acoustic and the electronic, and is
an artistic exploration of challenging established roles, interaction, and the concert situation as such.

MINIFESTIVAL WITH FIRST TRIO GIG AND ALBUM RELEASE WITH ANNE HYTTA
Finally, all restrictions are gone, and we can get out to play to people again!
We've finally done a proper trio gig with Torstein, which was a lot of fun! And today we're releasing "Strypetak" with Anne Hytta on Particular Recordings. It's out on LP and all streaming platforms, and the LP can be orderdered from
https://www.particularrecordings.com/shop/parallaxhytta-strypetak/
Here's a short video about the release:

2020 SUMMED UP
What can we say... It's been a drag.
But, despite Covid-19 and cancellations all around, it's been quite a productive year for us. We've released 3 albums with 3 different projects, and have a fourth one in the mix which will come out later this year. We've premiered two new pieces and even managed to do som gigs to promote them :-)
And our latest album "Lighthouse" with Hafdis Bjarnadottir was voted best experimental album in Iceland in 2020!
So it hasn't been all bad.
But, the biggest and most important news is that Stian, after more than 12 years as a band, has decided to get off the Parallax-train to focus on other projects. It has been 12 incredible and jam-packed years, both artistically and personally: hundreds of concerts all over the world, lots of record releases, a wealth of exciting projects and artistic collaborations; a total of 6 children and, not least, three mid-life crises :-) Thank you, Stian, for fabulous music making, friendship, conversations, good times and an abundance of good memories - it has been an adventure!
Good luck with all your new projects!

But, the train keeps a rollin, and Parallax has, as always, lots of exciting projects and plans for the coming year. And, always the consummate professional, Stian has found his own successor: super-trumpeter Torstein Lavik Larsen. Torstein, like Parallax, thrives at the intersection of improv, contemporary music and noise - and likes to play his instrument backwards and upside down :-) We have already had time to do several concerts and cut a record with him, and we like what we hear!

Watch this space!

ALBUM-RELEASE 08.04.2020: ASKEN
With everyone stuck indoors with nothing to do, we thought we might as well release another album :-)
Parallax+Hytta: ASKEN will be out on all digital platforms on 08.04.2020. "Asken" was recorded live in the amazing Tomba Emmanuelle in Oslo in december 2018. The material on the album is taken from our previous album, "Skogen", and we have already made a double-CD with both of them, which can be bought directly from us.
Get in touch if you're interested!


26.03.2020
ALBUM-RELEASE 03.04.2020: FLIMMER
Finally we're releasing the piece we made with Parallax+neoN for ULTIMA 2018. There will be an album out on PLING MUSIC, but the main product is a film that features Evelina Dembacke's visual work alongside our music. The album will be out on all digital platforms on 03/04/2020.

CORONA-CANCELLATIONS
Like everyone else we just got our lives put on hold, and unfortunately our Italian tour has just been cancelled. Hopefully we'll be able to go through with all the other activities we've planned for this year. Watch this space. Keep safe and healthy, everyone!

FINISHED 2nd LEG OF DISKO-PROJECT
We just finished another week of the DiSko-project. It's a research project looking at new ideas and concepts for school concerts. Hard work, but definitely a learning experience! We look forward to the 3rd leg next year!

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME TO OUR GIGS IN DENMARK an GERMANY
We love Denmark! Our first trip to Denmark/Germany done - and it was a good one! We look forward to next time!

NEW ALBUM AND TOUR COMING UP!
We have decided to make physical copies of our last album "Skogen" (with Anne Hytta) which came out last year on PLING MUSIC. But to make it a bit more exclusive, we've decided to make it a double album which will include a live recording of some of the same material from our concert in Tomba Emanuele in november. It's called SKOGEN/ASKEN.
We are going on tour to Denmark and Germany to launch the album. It will only be available on CD, and can be bought in gigs, or ordered directly from us. Check out the upcoming events section for more information!

11.06.2019
FINISHED FIRST LEG OF THE DiSko-PROJECT
What a ride! We've taken part in a research-programme that looks to explore new possibilities and avenues to providing cultural content to schools and student in Norway. So, over the last 4 months we've spent 6 days in a school trying to get 60 14 year-olds to work together in groups on making an art-hall exhibition with emotions as the over-riding theme. From being more than a little sceptical to the project (like only 14-year olds can), they have pulled themselves together and have worked super-hard, and they were more than a little surprised at the result. The project involved both art and music and was a collaboration with teachers at the school. We're looking forward to the next leg this coming autumn!

11.04.2019
PARALLX+NEON TOUR
Just finished three dates with Parallax+neoN and our piece "Flimmer" - this time with Ingunn Fjellang Sæther on visuals. It's really coming together and has taken on a life of its own. A lot of fun!

02.03.2019
STARTED NEW PRODUCTION: "THE POND"
We finally got started with our new project for kids with Evelina Dembacke! For now it involves a lot of instrument building and figuring out technical solutions to the visual side of things. It's still early days, but we're seeing the contours of something very cool and exciting :-) We'll have to have a long break though - Evelina is expecting a baby shortly (Congratulations!!) So it'll be almost year before we can continue.

20.02.2019
WORKSHOP WITH NMH-STUDENTS
We just spent two days with som 15 students from Norges Musikkhøyskole to try and give them some input on how to improvise and make music together the Parallax-way :-) Teaching is a lot of fun when you have students of such a caliber!

12.01.2019
HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND NEW PROJECT WITH NMK
We just had a great week learning and performing three pieces we've comissioned from nyMusikk Komponistgruppe. Pieces by Amund Røe, Ernst van der Loo and Tine Surel Lange.
