PARALLELLE

In music theory, a “Parallelle” is described as two different scales starting from the same note, developing differently while still dialoguing with each other. This concept mirrors French duo Parallelle’s identity: creating sounds influenced by various genres (jazz, soul, hip-hop, funk, and techno) that reflect their life experiences and collaborative audio-visual encounters.

With Lisbon as their home, Parallelle reverberates the city’s energy and evokes its sound

space by creating a distinctive style: a blend of house, techno, and world music. Their

sound philosophy is linked with live instrumentation and field recordings, showcasing their global travels, deep appreciation for diverse cultures, and nostalgic tribute. Music is a collaborative concept that is central to Parallelle’s ethos. Their work as musicians, curators, and film and fashion sound designers illustrates the duo’s belief in music as a universal language – a dialogue that, much like their namesake, begins in harmony and evolves into something uniquely their own.
