Somebody Else's Guy (Epsile 160 Remix)

‘1800-PARASOL’ is a collection of MIDI-centric trance pieces, concisely expressing Parasol’s foundational ideas on music-making. Born from a dissatisfaction with music technology tending towards digital or analogue extremes, it situates him within a new school of instrumental trance, alongside Himera, 500, 7038634357, and the “master of disappointment” Lorenzo Senni.

MIDI is Parasol’s obsession, and ‘1800-PARASOL’ is the result of him embracing its compositional potential. Like MIDI, ringtones are a communication protocol that transcend age and complexity, each revealing something transferable and personalisable. Leading by design, there is a feeling with each fragment that more should follow. Parasol has taken this prompt, and revealed a little of the world beyond each snippet.

Parasol strikes a careful balance between technicality and affect, generating interesting sequential variations using the limitations of MIDI and Ableton. Supersaws are juxtaposed with toy pianos, vocal chops, strings and modular synths, in moments of chaos that break away from MIDI’s neatness. Though drumless, the tracks are propelled by ultra-thin transients that punch through and create rhythmic interest.

About the artist:

Parasol, aka Chuyi Wang (he/him), is an Eora/Sydney-based producer, radio host and MIDI enthusiast. He co-hosts the show Deep Web on FBi Radio with Krishtie Mofazzal, which “zeroes in on the frequencies originating from musical cyberspace, shining a spotlight on labels and releases that come from all corners of the internet." He recently made their debut on the compilation Mutants Mixtape #5: FREE, where his track ‘Jitterbug’ serves as the opening track, amongst contributions from Nicolas Jaar/Against All Logic, Giant Claw, Holly Herndon, Arca, Cecile Believe, and Matmos.

The desire for transcendence affects us all. Led by pain and dissatisfaction, the struggles of being alive can only really be overcome in death. Author and writer Steph Kretowicz’s psychedelic audio narrative wanders through a layered and multi-dimensional notion of existence as suffering.

Ben Babbitt and felicita’s unsettling musical compositions lead this sonic trip through the atemporal influence of trauma and experience on a life, at a point where personal and cultural histories collide. Dispersed across London, Poland and Los Angeles, “I hate it here” dissolves time and location into the people and memories of the past that shape a person in the present. It touches on folk traditions throughout eras, and religious and spiritual practices across regions in a sometimes poignant, sometimes absurd tribute to the routines and rituals designed to fathom the unfathomable.
