Rosy Parlane is a musician from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. His work combines piano, guitar, electronics, and field recordings to create music that sits somewhe re between composition and environment -- less about performance, more about presence. Parlane first became known in the early 1990s as part of Thela, a trio whose exploratory sound bridged noise, improvisation, and minimal rock forms. Later, as one half of Parmentier with Dion Workman, he explored digital minimalism and abstract rhythm before turning his attention fully to solo work. His solo albums Getxo (Sigma Editions 2001), Iris, and Jessamine established a distinct approach built on patience, restraint, and the careful layering of tone and texture -- less about melody or structure than about how sound behaves in time and space. Array gathers recordings made between 2006 and 2022, originally issued on compilations and the Willow 7" single. Heard together, they offer a quiet through-line in Parlane's work -- small pieces connected by a shared attention to detail and the art of listening. Written and recorded in Aotearoa New Zealand 2006-2022. Mastered by Lawrence English at Negative Space. Photography and design by Jon Wozencroft. Show more
