About Me

I made my myspace layout using Pimp-My-Profile.com

Rosy Parlane is a musician from New Zealand who began playing music with the avant-garde rock trio Thela. Thela released two cds, 'Eponymous' and 'Argentina' on the label Ecstatic Peace!
He subsequently began working with abstract electronic based music, both as a solo artist and as Parmentier with fellow Thela collaborator, Dion Workman.
His full and intricate soundscapes are comprised of sample-loops, pianos, guitars, and field recordings manipulated via digital means.
His first two solo albums were released on his own Sigma Editions label, while the third, Iris, was released on Touch in 2004.
His second album for Touch, Jessamine, was released in November 2006.
