‘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.

@lloydfears is a Berlin-based MC, performer, and artist from the North of england. Their EP Saint & Ogre is the first solo project on POSTWORLD.

After the cathartic release of lockdown anxiety on Gressive [Infinite Machine] and the delicate re-emergence into the outside world on Self-Soothe [xenonyms], on this new project lloydfears brings listeners along on a shared exploration of the possibilities of hope. Over four tracks, Lloyd uses hope as an emotional and logical response to the daily dose of dystopia.

Mad at the world? You need to calm down. In need of connection? Say it, sincerely. Tired of posturing for the eyes online? Try some honesty, honestly.
