Likewise, “Hearken” begins as almost just a hint of something before blossoming into ambient bliss. Composers like Philip Glass and Steve Reich come to mind here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Silenzio” is darker and more mysterious. “Bestir Thyself” lays heavy with mournful strings and an overcast disposition and a monumental, cinematic presence. “Ashes Depart” has that cinematic heaviness as well, though it feels as if it’s leading us to lighter days. “Lament For Strings III” closes out this journey, lamenting in wavering strings and bringing up the spirit of Tangerine Dream’s Phaedra. The song ends in a fading, gauzy hiss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ezakè continues to evolve his art and compositional magic with the ethereal Orchestral Tape Studies II.

Hypothetically, the trope may become a reality further down the line; the aerospace engineering company SpaceWorks, for instance, has proposed “torpor-inducing transfer habitats” as a means of smoothening mankind’s eventual journey to Mars (assuming we make it there before bringing about our own demise, of course.) Until then, we’ll have to settle for the soundtrack, Stasis Sounds For Long​-​Distance Space Travel. A collaborative release between the British producer Dennis Huddleston (aka 36) and Zaké, a “healing sound propagandist” from Indianapolis, IN, it’s a sonic approximation of the impossible (and impossibly expensive) space nap, manifested here as three soft, soothing, melancholic ambient movements: the four-stage title track, which represents the journey away from home; a nostalgic, field recording-flavored “extended hypersleep program” inspired by all the places left behind (caves, rain, cities); and at the end of the tranquil dream, a trilogy of “reductions” to let us back down to earth. I highly recommend listening to this record at night, looking up at the stars, bundled up in your favorite sweater.

The album voices a personal longing for others to feel content with switching off, for self-reflection and stillness. The album comes in three “movements;” the introductory self-titled track attempts to capture what’s being left behind, “Extended Hypersleep Program” is the central narrative, and “Reduction” is its denouement (it could be read either as a return to Earth or a further descent into uncharted territory). The drowsiness instilled by the implied cryogenic slumber feels manufactured, the rounded-off sonic edges reminiscent of the album’s futuristic, clean, and sterile setting. There’s a surrealism that pervades the album that not only assists in telling its story, but gives it its own unique tonal flavor.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Ari Delaney, Bandcamp (Best New Ambient Music on Bandcamp)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e+++\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"On Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, Dennis Huddleston, who, once again, appears here as 36, and Zach Frizzell, the very founder of the Past Inside the Present label, who also records under his zakè moniker (also known as 扎克), offer us over 90 minutes of space roaming drift.

In particular, they refer to the process of \"hibernation\" of the astronauts, a state of deep and prolonged sleep that could make possible operations such as the colonization of Mars or the exploration, with human crew, of our Solar System. The science fiction pretext of \"Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel\" is, however, the occasion for a reading that combines the space theme with the meditative one: the Universe intended as a place of exploration of thought, boundless field of introspection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeally divided into three large parts, the work articulates its 97 total minutes as follows: a 28-minute suite in four \"stages\" that closely follows the typical sounds of film science fiction, with a very slow fanfare diluted in subliminal melodies that recall Vangelis to the point of colliding with a sidereal wind, a meeting point between the cosmic restlessness of Klaus Schulze and the new age poetry of Constance Demby; after a piece dedicated to the stasis room (for about 6 minutes), a 30-minute triptych of nostalgic dreamy frescoes appears, animated by minimal sounds and clouds of drones, as well as by more descriptive field-recordings, which remind us of the landscapes in a moving way Earthlings (a cave, rain, a city at night). Three conclusive \"reductions\", diluted versions and pareidolitic illusions of the sounds already listened to, which translate the border between dream and wakefulness into music, recalling the splendid, rarefied and imaginative journeys of the Stars Of The Lid, culminating in the final \"Reduction 3 \", a full 21 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat distinguishes the dream from death? In the first with the immobile body a mind coexists that explores an inner universe, abstract and soothing, synesthetic and hypnotic; in the second, they dominate total anguish and, afterwards, a boundless nullity. This \"Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel\" is never eerie, because a spark of emotion animates its long suites and contrasts the journey of the mind with the stasis of the body. Far from the metropolitan chaos, from the incessant stimuli of the hyperconnected global village, from the pressing deadlines and from the alarming breaking news that take sleep away, we find ourselves meditating for an abundant hour and a half, leaving for a while that with the movement of the body replace the boundless journey of the soul.

The artists are 36 and zakè. 36 is the musical project of UK musician Dennis Huddleston, while zakè is, well, zakè. His work has been talked about and adored on these pages many times over the last couple of years, starting back in 2020 with Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea’s Liberamente(released via Azure Vista Records.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 36 \u0026amp; zakè’s Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel I \u0026amp; II these two ambient musicians take us up into the cosmos. Slow, drifting swaths of electronics encompass you and take you on a cosmic journey.

Who doesn’t need some of that these days?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s lots of music that comes my way, and honestly it’s hard for me to cram it all between my ears. Believe me, I try. Listening to and writing about music is something I’ve done on a regular basis for over a decade now. And listening to music? Well I’ve been doing that since I could walk. At least since I could pick up my parents copy of The White Album and ask my mom to put it on the turntable. So when I don’t have enough time in the week to devour all the amazing music coming my way that’s both a bummer and pretty amazing. It means that just because I’m not hearing it, doesn’t mean that people aren’t continually opening their heads and hearts and giving the world the gift of sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I hear from labels like Past Inside The Present, Zakè Drone Recordings, Azure Vista Records, and Moon Glyph Records I make sure I listen. Their ambient and drone albums have been a source of mental comfort for years now. They’ve opened my brain to the world of ambient and new age. It’s a deeper trip, and I feel it’s the logical progression from the world of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Rudiger Lorenz. Where the darker realms of Komische and Berlin School were the gateway for me into electronic and heavy synth, ambient and new age were the welcoming step into the light. Still dig the dark, but you can’t stay there all the time unless you’re a mushroom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel I \u0026amp; II have the vastness of a widescreen view of Earth from the point of view of a space station. It’s awe-inspiring, like earth from several thousands of miles away, or the sight of the aurora borealis hanging over the atmosphere from a galactic view. This is music to fall into and let it engulf you. 36 and zakè build slow moving soundscapes that soothe the listener into a weightless world, using synths and electronics like paints. Each brush stroke and added layer of color creating vast canvases of cosmic visions and ethereal light.\u003cbr\u003eOver the two volumes of Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel there’s plenty of sounds to keep you in stasis for a couple hours.

Each piece begins with the statement of a simple melody, which repeats throughout as additional layers accumulate, slowly teasing out new melodies. Rather than linger in the imperfections of media, as so many artists who work with repetition tend to do, instead the duo pursue an attention to fidelity that forces them to get the fine details just right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe duo are likely better known by their monikers zakè and City of Dawn, under which they released their previous collaboration, An Eternal Moment Hidden Away. That A Sorrow Unrequited bears their surnames perhaps suggests the more personal nature of this collaboration. Zach Frizzell has built up an impressive discography in a few short years, exploring orchestral music in various guises. He is also the man behind Past Inside the Present, a label which has distinguished itself for their expansive catalog of immersive music. City of Dawn is Damien Duque, a multi-instrumentalist who produces expressive ambient soundscapes. Their two styles blend very naturally, complementing each other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnrequited love is a common theme, sorrow less so. What does it mean instead when a feeling of sorrow is not returned? While this might suggest a dreary mood, to the contrary A Sorrow Unrequited is calmly uplifting. There are moments of melancholy, but more often the steady ebb and flow of sound cultivates a profound sense of meditative stasis. The titles all come from a poem written by Julia Frizzell, evoking passing time and lessons humbly learned. The principle melodies are slow, faintly familiar enough to suggest a sense of nostalgia, but difficult enough to grasp that their steady evolution substitutes for narrative structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe artists take pleasure in soothing textures, avoiding sudden shifts or abrasive sonorities. There is a refined elegance to these five tracks, making the 33:33 runtime feel much shorter. Yet A Sorrow Unrequited rewards repeat listens, feeling comfortably familiar while always revealing fresh perspectives. A gentle, consonant palette of strings is given depth by the low end frequencies of a synth. The occasional moments of dissonance bring a slight tension in bright contrast to the mellow synth melodies or plaintive piano marking time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrizzell \u0026amp; Duque transform unadorned inputs into beautiful complexity. One is reminded of Brian Eno’s Discreet Music (1975), less for the title piece as “Three Variations on the Canon in D Major by Johann Pachebel,” a reorchestration playing with various permutations (pitch, tempo, note length) of small fragments of the score. Rather than developing shifting patterns, the minimalism heard on A Sorrow Unrequited explores the timbral effects of gradual shifts in density, waves of sound almost imperceptibly carrying the melody from one instrument to another. There is a graceful poetry to the cadence of each track, reminding us that silences are as important to communication as sound.\" -Joseph Sannicandro, Sound Propositions \/\/ Contributing Writer for A Closer Listen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Fans of slow-evolving orchestral ambience will absolutely love this new collaboration between the Past Inside The Present label owner, Zach Frizzell and Damien Duque, also known as zakè and City of Dawn, for which they drop their project monikers and team up as simply Frizzell \u0026amp; Duque.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn these five, slowly evolving pieces of A Sorrow Unrequited, the duo manipulate chamber instruments alongside reverb saturated pads and swelling bass to compose a symphony of ebbing music.

The fact that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - NASA to you and me - has supplied them with celestial sound emissions for the tracks is a bonus. But ultimately, the real headline factor once it's actually on your turntable is the vivid atmospheres and gorgeous textures that the pair are capable of generating. The album's closer, 'Metric Expansion', is a tremulous glory, peaking and slipping away like rays of sunlight. 'Space \u0026amp; Time', meanwhile, is a simple, gliding analogue delight, and 'Drifting' proves you can carve imperceptible beauty from a couple of well crafted chords.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-Juno Records\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Maybe it’s just me and my own overactive imagination, but when I’m deep in it with some heady ambient and new age music I often imagine floating in space. The deep and healing tones of heavily-effected guitar, the warm buzz of analog synths, the wash of digital pads like static rain, and just the overwhelming sense of a quieted mind put me squarely floating in the cosmos. There’s something about the heady calm and meditative high of ambient\/new age music that brings to mind constellations, galaxy clusters, and that final frontier.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmbient\/new age musicians\/producers zakè and Ossa have taken that idea to a whole new level with the transcendent Syntheticopia. Syntheticopia is an LP built from actual sounds of space, along with an impressive list of earthbound hardware like the Korg Minilogue, Moog Mother-32, Poly D Polyphonic Synth, and more.

Just take a synth, create a sound, then press a chord with an arpeggio turned on, record a passage on a loop and tweak some knobs while you are at it. This is a lot of what I see on videos showcasing a modular gig, and frankly, it still sounds just like bleeps and boops. I know exactly why that is, and this I’ll leave out for another time and moment (TLDR; sound design != music). But let’s instead turn towards Zach Frizzell, the founder of Past Inside the Present label, and his collaboration with Kaiton Slusher, together known as zakè \u0026amp; ossa.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe duo releases an 11-track album, which they titled syntheticopia, on a beautifully crafted 160g “purple nebula” vinyl with a very minimalist layout and cover design, as you already see featured on these pages.

You are about to set off on a journey. And this interstellar voyage shall be accompanied by their soundtrack of highly textured, layered atmospheres, spacial dimensions, and ethereal drift. It’s impossible not to compare some delicate pads which are slightly detuned, lo-fi and wobbly with the output from Boards of Canada (check out “space and time” in particular). Sprinkle in some samples from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the resemblance evolves into a necessity. And this, of course, I mean in a very positive light. The conceptual storyline portrays a mission of studying the sound origins of the cosmos and although it seems that the flight personnel never returned to their earthly home, I’m really hoping they’ll send more transmissions from wherever they are, out there, in the universe.

Their progressions evolve almost imperceptibly, allowing for moments of negative space that give way to gossamer swells in the purest of warm guitar tones. At times the only reminder of human hands in this billowing expanse is the distant flit of a fingertip, lightly scratching the A string while shifting chords.

While graced by a kindred patina, their side adds the subtle but very effective crackle of a well-loved, dusty LP that’s been pulled from the shelf after a few years; whatever sounds the grooves might have once held, they are reshaped here into an impressionistic memory of a first listen long ago. Frizzell and Séry’s remarkable long-form album Demain, dès l’aube (PITP, 2023) forged its environments from nocturnal mystery, but on Live Improvisations they offer a lucid, delicate glow that rises humbly across the loam.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince 2018 zakè has produced an unimpeachable catalog of affecting ambient releases, both solo and as an adventurous, prolific collaborator.

Here and now, long, wafting, splayed synth pads drone out with deep-breathing bass, sprinkled textures, and fully immersive ambient atmospheres.

The artists are 36 and zakè. 36 is the musical project of UK musician Dennis Huddleston, while zakè is, well, zakè. His work has been talked about and adored on these pages many times over the last couple of years, starting back in 2020 with Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea’s Liberamente(released via Azure Vista Records.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith 36 \u0026amp; zakè’s Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel I \u0026amp; II these two ambient musicians take us up into the cosmos. Slow, drifting swaths of electronics encompass you and take you on a cosmic journey. I do think music can heal, and with these two albums they emanate a kind of soothing, sonic pulse that calms the nerves and quiets the mind. Who doesn’t need some of that these days?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s lots of music that comes my way, and honestly it’s hard for me to cram it all between my ears. Believe me, I try. Listening to and writing about music is something I’ve done on a regular basis for over a decade now. And listening to music? Well I’ve been doing that since I could walk. At least since I could pick up my parents copy of The White Album and ask my mom to put it on the turntable. So when I don’t have enough time in the week to devour all the amazing music coming my way that’s both a bummer and pretty amazing. It means that just because I’m not hearing it, doesn’t mean that people aren’t continually opening their heads and hearts and giving the world the gift of sound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen I hear from labels like Past Inside The Present, Zakè Drone Recordings, Azure Vista Records, and Moon Glyph Records I make sure I listen. Their ambient and drone albums have been a source of mental comfort for years now. They’ve opened my brain to the world of ambient and new age. It’s a deeper trip, and I feel it’s the logical progression from the world of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Rudiger Lorenz. Where the darker realms of Komische and Berlin School were the gateway for me into electronic and heavy synth, ambient and new age were the welcoming step into the light. Still dig the dark, but you can’t stay there all the time unless you’re a mushroom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel I \u0026amp; II have the vastness of a widescreen view of Earth from the point of view of a space station. It’s awe-inspiring, like earth from several thousands of miles away, or the sight of the aurora borealis hanging over the atmosphere from a galactic view. This is music to fall into and let it engulf you. 36 and zakè build slow moving soundscapes that soothe the listener into a weightless world, using synths and electronics like paints. Each brush stroke and added layer of color creating vast canvases of cosmic visions and ethereal light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the two volumes of Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel there’s plenty of sounds to keep you in stasis for a couple hours.

Anyone familiar with Frizzell’s worldly catalog of tape-saturated drone knows that each volume exists in its own unique climate, and forms a distinct topography – with B⁴+3, you might imagine a weathered harbor dock at dawn, with black water rippling out into fog, and dense swathes of old-growth looming behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Bracken” opens with delicate harmonic themes that build into vast waves, while a granular crackle intimates the last throes of life in the soil before hibernation. Like much of zakè’s work, its simmering power comes from restraint and patience. “Betrayal” – the first of a trio of new pieces on this collection – goes a notch darker, teasing out layers of listing soundforms across a sprawling drone, each one a ship’s light passing and disappearing into the distance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen discussing the original quartet of themes on B⁴, zakè notes an ongoing feeling of “unfinished business”, and of having left them “in a kind of purgatory state”, which kept pulling him back to the studio. The revised iteration of “Burnt” is the sound of a roiling sky, opening up as a murmuration spills across the panorama. The warp and weft of its carefully developed structure make it a standout not only of this album, but of the broader genre of organic, tonal ambient music that zakè fosters through his renowned Past Inside the Present label.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn “Banded”, strata of ice begin to crystallize at the shoreline, moving outward while shafts of light dapple the surface in the distance. Comforting, sub-bass swells appear in full form, imperceptibly pulsing like the slowed hearts of subaquatic life in the midst of a freeze. The album’s most shadowy passage arrives with new pieces “Blight” and “Bane” – the former a bone-chilling wind across the tundra, and the latter a dive through an ice cave into some unforgiving abyss, both illustrating the immense range that defines zakè’s vision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Barren” is a perfect closer to this suite, its solemn, holy tonality like an ashen cross on the forehead, a mark of grace and humility in the cryptic infinite. As its final chords fade, B⁴+3 offers only an ambiguous sense of resolution. Through pensive processes and a philosophy of open-ended, shapeshifting composition, zakè reminds us that no piece of music is ever truly finished – one only finds a stopping place before summoning the will to carry on deeper into the mist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten, recorded, and produced by zakè\u003cbr\u003eMixed at Kaleidoscope Tone Studio by zakè\u003cbr\u003eMastered at Ambient Mountain House by James Bernard\u003cbr\u003eLayout and design by zakè\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e© 2024 Zakè Drone Recordings\u003cbr\u003e℗ 2024 Past Inside the Present Publishing (BMI)\u003cbr\u003eThis is ZD-030\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow ugc\" href=\"http:\/\/zakedronerecordings.com\/\"\u003ezakedronerecordings.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow ugc\" href=\"http:\/\/zakedrone.com\/\"\u003ezakedrone.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"nofollow ugc\" href=\"http:\/\/pitp.us\/\"\u003epitp.us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zakè Drone Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40923740700761,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/3189\/7689\/files\/b1w_25495579-8605-4c30-a69a-d111071de592.png?v=1736612962"},{"product_id":"copy-of-zake-tyresta-drift-lp","title":"zakè \u0026 Tyresta 'Drift' [LP] (EU Version)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP on A\/B split color.

Frizzell consistently blends modern ambient classical work with soft-edged, analog production that feels unstuck in time, and fittingly, Veta calls upon its ceremonial divinity – one of healing and protection – to convey a patient journey through grief, remembrance, and resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrizzell describes the realization of Veta – which was recorded alongside, and influenced by, a forthcoming collaboration with vocalist Angela Winter – as an “exercise in knowing when to draw back the mix.” There is a high degree of sonic manipulation and layering, and a variation on the “wall of sound” technique, but ultimately each element requires its own place and purpose in the final result. Always a traditionalist, he employs an arsenal of reel-to-reel and cassette decks for sound processing, and a combination of organic and synthesized sources, to attain an aural grace that becomes more distinctive with each release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece and title track, “Veta”, commences with a slow lament in soft-hued brass, as its looped motif shifts color from soot to cerulean, and it navigates the organic hiss of the tape reel, casting a shadow of oxidized, reverberant shimmer. In the narrative of the album, we get the sense of conscious thought ceasing, as we crest a hill, discover a long-abandoned home, and wander amid its debris and forgotten mementos. Midway through, bass swells take over with a looming growl, while gentle rays of lilting strings pierce the fallen roof with the warmth of pale daylight. “Veta” is one of Frizzell’s most complex creations, encapsulating both malady and remedy as it resolves with the tear-streaked, operatic power of Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following arrangement “Bewrayeth No. 2” takes the charred, bass-laden drones of a former track, “Bewrayeth” that appeared as a longform piece almost exactly two years ago. The thick layers are veiled in shadows, where ominous whispers intertwine with the howling winds of desolation. The music emerges like tendrils of smoke, suffused with a sense of foreboding. Each repetitive sound resonates like the tolling of a funeral bell, echoing through cavernous depths of despair. As the song unfolds, layers of sound build upon one another, creating a sense of mounting tension.

True to its title, the album occupies a rarefied place between the terrestrial and the cosmic, as Frizzell’s organic drones and field recordings unfurl in tandem with the cascading harmonies of Winter’s otherworldly voice, which creates a beguiling language absent of concrete lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Gale” opens the collection with an incandescent quaver that brings to mind a wisping aurora borealis wrapped in muted static, while Winter’s presence grows from a single note into choral fullness, and a rich low-end gathers with each glowing pass. A hushed hiss is central to the conjurings of “Precipice”, over which narcotic synths allow a candlelit vocal arrangement to ebb and flow with stunning emotional power. Halfway through its side-long duration, subterraneous bass swells break the loam, and new layers of complexity stretch across the sonic canvas as Winter experiments with variations in cadence, tonality, and pacing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhysicality and physiology are innate fascinations in Winter’s approach to singing; she describes an unavoidable\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etendency to respond and assimilate to the sounds and textures we all experience on a daily basis:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Whenever I hear some sort of drone out in the world, I push against it vocally. My body does this spontaneously with sustained or rhythmic tones, such as from a lawnmower, leaf blower, car horn, running water, or the high-pitched hiss of a streetlight. I used to not be aware I was doing this, but now I realize I pretty much do it all the time, and always have.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven that Frizzell is an avowed sonic diary-keeper in his compositional process, such a naturalistic method on Winter’s part makes this collaboration seem truly fated. “Terminal Sleep” exemplifies their dynamic, as well as a broader theme of contrast across Mid Sky; the surge and relent of voice and drone convey the growing pains of spring, where progress feeds by necessity on the decay and death of last season, and a trillion invisible interactions happen in every square inch of the underbrush. Especially in its final moments, where the crackle of a dusty record counters a speaker-rattling bass purr, the two artists reach a compelling summit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Advent” is a brief, beautiful crystallization of the album’s main ideas, an aural dive into the overcast with slow, harmonic pulses and exquisitely placed vocals. Unsurprisingly, regarding her technique, Winter notes, “I worked quickly and intuitively without reviewing or overdubbing, and once I’d recorded a myriad of voices, shifted to a subtractive, sculptural approach for edits, listening deeply until I heard angels in the mix and editing ruthlessly to set them free.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMid Sky closes with its monumental title track, an encapsulation of the territory between earth and the infinite, where the downward view is of land and life without borders, while outward is the exosphere, merging with solar wind and brutal nothingness. Winter’s final, quiet hums convey a solemn pensiveness, as though she’s witnessed some ineffable truth beyond expression, and the album’s final minutes comprise a slow fade into the gentle dissonance of uncertainty. This polarity of human and divine elements creates an undeniable grace that, according to Frizzell, is “the perfect orchestration between two individuals at the right moment.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten, recorded, and produced by zakè \u0026amp; Angela Winter\u003cbr\u003eMixed and mastered at Ambient Mountain House by James Bernard\u003cbr\u003ePhotography by Cynthia Bernard\u003cbr\u003eDesign and layout by zakè\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e©℗ 2024 Past Inside the Present\u003cbr\u003eThis is PITP51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/pitp.us\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"\u003epitp.us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/ pitp.shop\u003cbr\u003e▽\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zakedrone.bandcamp.com\/\"\u003ezakedrone.bandcamp.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/angelawinter.bandcamp.com\/\"\u003eangelawinter.bandcamp.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Past Inside the Present","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41748811841625,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/3189\/7689\/files\/zaw1ww.png?v=1722521495"},{"product_id":"zake-angela-winter-mid-sky-cdep","title":"zakè \u0026 Angela Winter 'Mid Sky x Tenebris' [CDep]","description":"\u003cp\u003e2-Panel Cardstock Jacket CD [ep]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Mid Sky x Tenebris' [ep] features the arrangements 'Tenebris' (exclusive to this CD ep) along with the title track, 'Mid Sky'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass-mastered, silkscreen printed CD housed in a 2-panel cardstock jacket.

Past Inside The Present has proven to be a most prolific home to the world’s finest purveyors of ambient\/new age, putting out music by zakè, From Overseas, City of Dawn, Marine Eyes, James Bernard, Drum \u0026amp; Lace, 36, plus many others. The sounds are subtle, ethereal, and very much a sonic salve for the mind, body, and spirit. I’ve personally found great comfort from this Midwest record label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn February 18th of this year zakè, Marc Ertel, James Bernard, and From Overseas got together at the historic Gothic Chapel, located at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana and put on a sublime live show. For those that couldn’t attend Past Inside The Present has now released the show as a live album experience. Multi-track recorded direct from the soundboard we now have Live at the Gothic Chapel, a tour-de-force live LP that puts the listener in the hallowed halls of the Gothic Chapel on that cool February evening. It’s 8 tracks of pure sonic and meditative beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach song opens a portal to some kind of enlightened presence. There’s a reason these songs seem so powerful in a chapel, as they elicit a feeling that there’s more to our existence than we realize. A higher power? I don’t know, but what these electronic pieces do is make me not so much of a pessimist when one brings up such things. There’s a lightness in songs like “Signaling” and the sublime “Wanderlust”. The air becomes rarified that surrounds these songs; it’s as if you’re breathing in something ancient yet newborn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing tips the scales past the 8 minute mark, with neither “Lament For Strings I” or “Lament For Strings III” barely cracking 2 1\/2 minutes. They both feel like interludes between time and space, as opposed to ethereal breathers between the longer pieces. “Knowledge Rooms, Pt I \u0026amp; II” sounds like some New Age, atavistic tome that you’d hear in a crystalline hall echoing across blue skies and cumulonimbus peaks. It’s a moving experience, from first piece to last.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLive at the Gothic Chapel hearkens back to the shows early Tangerine Dream would put on in Gothic churches and cathedrals; sitting on concrete floors, twisting knobs, bending circuits, and blowing minds (Live At Reims Cathedral is essential listening.) zakè, Marc Ertel, James Bernard, and From Overseas lock into that kind of magic here, evoking a kind of peaceful transcendence in front of a live audience. Giving them not just a concert, but a true experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy hope is that Past Inside The Present can set up another show at some point, as I will be there for sure. If not, well I’ll always have Live at the Gothic Chapel to revisit.​\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-J.

It sets the scene perfectly with a bedrock drone beneath a cyclical, ascending melodic theme, until gently shifting into shadows, its third act evoking a half-speed choir singing in rounds. The title hints at all the world’s concealed beauties, sacred in their elusiveness, reminding us to keep searching and remain humble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his day-to-day, Turner is a Chicago-based social worker, and his musical efforts serve as a cathartic response to the emotional weight of facing so directly the infinite challenges of life — according to the artist, he “explores themes related to the human condition, including impermanence, grief, and growth.” This drive underlies pieces like “You Will Become a Song”, where a sweetened, reassuring air rises from whorls of shoegaze guitar, accented by a subtle crackle like seeds emerging from dewy soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe breathy shimmer and stirring harmonies of Turner’s solo recordings create an ideal foil to zakè’s more melancholy, low end-laden tendencies, as exemplified on “Heavy Skies”. Here, the two flirt with dissonance and grain, conjuring the image of a bird in a windstorm seeking safe harbor, and exhibiting a tonal versatility that seems effortless. Title track, “The Worlds We Leave Behind”, is bathed in panoramic rustle and organic textures, complemented by swathes of guitar dressed in mile-wide reverb. Fitting with the album’s motifs, its evolution occurs in carefully constructed moments of beautiful, meditative patience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to Frizzell, these tracks comprise a “spiritual sequel” to the duo’s first album, Drift (2023), whose chillier climes crystallized from looping murmurs of soft melody, well suited to the cover image of a snow-covered canyon. Created in quick succession, but allowed to gestate for a few seasons, The Worlds We Leave Behind occupies a warmer place – in line with the predominantly ruddy, Polaroid sleeve art – conveying the calm of a late summer dusk, and the vanishing of evening into cricketing quiet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn closing movement, “Departing Day”, the album’s entrancing warp and weft usher in feelings of uncertainty, hope, and grace in equal measure. A lonesome, spacious piano floats across a subdued field of interlaced hums, skirting a theme but content to wander, finally easing into a tantalizingly open-ended, slow fade out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Frizzell’s own words, “Sometimes, the profound doesn’t need an explanation – what matters is the connection between creator and listener.” Similarly, Turner’s track titles and inspirations willfully embrace ambiguity, and welcome individual interpretation. Loss and leaving are universal human experiences, but in their thoughtful, intuitive collaboration, zakè and Tyresta provide a gorgeous environment for the complicated processes of introspection and healing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten, recorded, and produced by zakè and Tyresta\u003cbr\u003eMixed at Kaleidoscope Tone Studio by zakè\u003cbr\u003eMastered at Ambient Mountain House by James Bernard\u003cbr\u003ePhotography by Benoît Pioulard with Polaroid SX70 film\u003cbr\u003eDesign and layout by zakè\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e© 2024 Zakè Drone Recordings\u003cbr\u003e℗ Past Inside the Present Publishing (BMI)\u003cbr\u003eThis is ZD-033-CD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zakè Drone Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41862771998809,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/3189\/7689\/files\/44.png?v=1726497888"},{"product_id":"zake-tyresta-jade-cd","title":"zakè \u0026 Tyresta 'Jade' [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlass-mastered, silkscreen printed CD housed in a 4-panel, 300g satin cardstock Digipak.
