The Moments Between Sounds - A Musical Artwork

“Sound Space Variations" is a delicate and restrained sound bath. A mix of atmospheric, suspenseful drone sounds and meditative aspects. It is an album made for those moments when we just are.

zakè has managed to capture the moments that lie between sounds. I am sure you know those unagitated murmurs and atmospheric hisses. The artist connects this in-between-world and our earthly one with calm and sonorous scores, making us think about everything and nothing.

The six pieces on the record do not seem heavy-headed or overloaded but much more airy, wide and open for interpretations. They stimulate the imagination – in a wonderfully unbiased way. In the last track, "Bewrayeth", Kévin Séry makes a surprise appearance – he has added an excellent guitar accompaniment to the song.

James Bernard mixed and mastered the album, written and produced by drone artist zakè, at Ambient Mountain House Studio. zakè himself provided the artwork and photos himself.”
