a listening room and learning center located in humboldt park, chicago, il | map
A dedicated listening session built around a single artist, record, or lifelong passion. An artist or curator brings something they love into the room and shares the sound, the story, and their obsession. This is not background music. It is an invitation to sit with carefully selected sounds, and hear it the way someone who loves it deeply wants you to.
An open deck session where local DJs take over the Parallel Play space throughout the day. Some arrive with a practiced set, others use the space to experiment with something new. Bring your friends, grab some coffee or a drink, and settle in.
Signal & Noise pairs a dedicated DJ set with whatever concept, element, or environment the artist chooses to bring alongside it: additional performers, an installation, or ideas that extend beyond the sound system.
