About this event
Parallel Society is a project that features some of Dublin's most recent young talents. The band, led by German composer and guitarist Jan Henrik Rau has a refreshing new, energetic and exciting sound.
Drawing inspiration from a variety of styles such as hip-hop, pop, classical, grunge, north indian classical music and modern jazz combined with powerful improvisation the music has a very personal touch and does not want to be categorised.
The quintet interweaves electronic and acoustic soundscapes and there is a clear element of storytelling in each composition. Every song creates a different atmosphere with fascinating, mesmerizing and sometimes transcendental arrangements and truly original music.
The music is influenced by artists such as Brian Blade & The Fellowship, Marius Neset and Flying Lotus.
