2025 stock Los Angeles based ambient husband and wife duo, awakened souls join with Réunion Island native, From Overseas to create Keep The Orange Sun.
After hearing each other’s individual music, a deeper conversation started about shared musical influences and inspiration leading to the creation of this album.
Keep The Orange Sun guides the listener on a thoughtfully curated path. Starting with the certainty of life’s changes (Certainty of Tides) to arising self-doubt (Release/Adapt) and celeb…
In the years since the founding of Past Inside the Present, label head zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) has collaborated with an extensive roster of heavy-hitting ambient experimentalists, chief among which are From Overseas (aka Kévin Séry) and the legendary James Bernard. On Flint, these three artists make clear their well-developed bond, as they build vivid, organic worlds from an intuitive understanding of each other’s strengths, processes, and tonalities.
Opening track, “Conifer”, emerges with a de…
As the coda to a busy and dynamic year, Zakè Drone Recordings is pleased to bring you Certain Path, a collection of piano-centric pieces by friends and frequent collaborators zakè (Zach Frizzell), From Overseas (Kévin Sery), and City of Dawn (Damien Duque). It is an album intended for quiet spaces, deep breaths, and hibernation stillness; across its seven movements, softened and gently treated keys provide compelling motifs, while undercurrents of shifting drone provide a meditative, melancholic…
An official collection of otherworldly and beautiful folk songs performed in 1980 in Canada by pupils (singers) and their teachers (instruments). Three songs are taken from a scarce privately pressed 'mysterious' Lp released under a different moniker. Two songs are unreleased songs from that session in 1980. For fans of The Langley Schools Music Project (Echo Singers steal the cake!!!) and even fans of performers like Belle and Sebastian should take note! Comes with liner notes by people involve…
**CD edition** Long-awaited reissue of this incredible and near-mythical 1970 album, remastered from the original master tapes with superior sound quality, replica of the original RCA LP (in gatefold digipack with additional liner notes) in a limited edition of 500 copies. An insane amalgam of avant-improvisation and motorik krautrock beats that, understandably, has become one of the most collectable LPs ever issued (original copies are impossible to obtain).Just as the first "krautrock" lp's we…
Sigillum S have been exploring unknown territories among extreme electronics, fringe acoustics and occultist noise since 1985. With an original line-up of Italian experimental electronic composers Eraldo Bernocchi, Paolo L. Bandera and Luca Di Giorgio, throughout their 40-year gestation, the noise merchants have worked with musicians including Ain Soph, The Sodality, Gerstein,Iugula-Thor, Out Of Body Experience, Bill Laswell, Zu, Crisis, Thomas Felhmann, Gudrun Gut, Toshinori Kondo, SH Fernando …
Originally released in 1971, Mighty Baby's second and, for nearly a quarter of a century, final release is a deft, understated, and often magical synthesis of any number of musical strains. Stepping further away from the group's louder roots in the Action and taking in everything from an embrace of Sufism to further explorations ranging from Gram Parsons and the Band's country-rock to jazz and obscure folk, A Jug of Love is all the more remarkable for being a rushed effort, recorded in barely a …
Originally released on Klaus Schulze's Innovative Communication label in 1981, 'Sei still, wisse Ich Bin' is Popol Vuh's 13th LP. Fricke and Fichelscher worked under the production of Klaus Schulze himself and were helped for the occasion by Chris Karrer on soprano sax, Renate Knaup on vocals and the Chorensemble der Bayerischen Staatsoper. Two of its songs, Laß los and ...als lebtendie Engel auf Erden where used on the soundtrack of Werner Herzog's film Fitzcarraldo, from 1982. There is also a …
Among one of the most sought after english dub albums, Black Jade Contempo is still somewhat of a mystery. Definitely ahead of its time, their deeper dub style was very sophisticated indeed. The material was originally recorded between 1975-76 and then collected in their self-produced debut. The vinyl first appearance was at the Notting Hill Carnival in the summer of 1976, where the band – apparently – was freely distributing it on the streets !
Sun Ra's legendary 1978 Italian studio sessions, now available together for the first time ever on vinyl! Long sought-after by collectors, these extremely rare studio sessions were originally released in 1978 as two double LPs (New Steps and Other Voices, Other Blues) on the mysterious Italian jazz label, Horo Records. They have never been reissued on vinyl (and only partially reissued on CD) until now! With the help of trumpet player, Michael Ray, drummer, Luqman Ali and saxophonist John Gilmor…
Maurizio Bianchi began experimenting with industrial / noise music shortly after the genre emerged. Initially, he released four recordings under the moniker Sacher-Pelz, then began using his own name or his initials, M.B., in 1980. From 1979 to 1984, Bianchi released around 35 albums, showcasing a period of intense creativity before he took a break from music until 1998. Since resuming his work, he has released over 250 additional albums. What is remarkable about Bianchi’s career - aside from hi…
*33 copies limited edition* Archaic is the electronic music project of Jelle Groen and Pieter Hooghiem from the Netherlands. Their paths serendipitously intersected at a vibrant local cultural concert hall, where classical music, eclectic melodies and live performances ignited their shared passion for music, technology, and diverse musical interests. Their shared workplace with Willem Twee Studios (Netherlands), made them interested into the world of modular synthesis and the collaborative effor…
*200 copies limited edition* [limen memoriae] is a sonic journey through the depths of memory and liminal abandonment. Drawing inspiration from the transient and fallible nature of memory, the music presented in this album tells stories of vast spaces and impossible, almost alien architectures, embracing the disoriented acceptance of memory's impermanence in contrast to eternity. The accompanying imagery depicts a world, a future yet unknown but long forgotten; an uninhabited landscape of struct…
2010 release ** "The Low Frequency Orchestra is a small ensemble of 'paetzold' recorders, electronic devices, voice, double bass and drums and they team up here with one Wolfgang Mitterer who plays organ. The starting point of this CD is a live recording which has been 'repeatedly revised, de- and re-composed'. Taking into account this and the fact that this is a small ensemble, I was reminded of Mnemonists and Biota, who used similar group playing and extensive studio techniques to define thei…
2010 release ** "This is certainly not William Parker's first solo album, he already released "Lifting The Sanctions", "Testimony" and "Painter's Autumn", but this is the first one on which he doesn't play pizzicato, using his bow for the first and lengthy track, called "Cathedral Wisdom Light", on which he demonstrates the unbelievable riches that are hidden in his instrument : from the cry of whales to those of birds, over the pulsing or a heart, or just bone-chilling shrieks. He goes deep her…
1994 release ** "All live improvisations should be this much fun! This live date between turntablist and electronic weirdmeister Christian Marclay and percussionist and electronics tinkerer Günter Müller is what the art of improvisation is supposed to be: fun, continually compelling textually, and inspired. While many intellectuals have made wild pronouncements about Marclay and his art -- and it is art, make no mistake -- writing all sorts of blather about how he strips the adult century bare b…
1989 release ** "If "Cathedral" is one of Nigel Ayers' most celestially minded records, then "Invocation of the Beast Gods" is among his most ritualistic. We start at full throttle with suffocating tension before giving way to an uneasy release. "Tranquil" this is not, but Ayers' delicate touch allows him to explore the full breadth of the album title's implications — here you will find moments of whimsy, contemplation, and full-bore reckoning.."
Mega Tip! ** Incredible compilation assembled by, and including nonetheless than Brannten Schnüre. Gathering together unreleased tracks by Vox Populi! Limpe Fuchs, Läuten der Seele, Christoph Heeman and more, this is the most pleasant surprise we could get from Quirlschlängle. Still two months before Christmas, but the greatest gift is already here. ** "Nebengleis“ is one of those strange and rare German words that seem to be born both out of the dust of a bureaucratic, functional grammar and a …
Nuke Watch stretch out and zone in on “Wait For It…”, two side-long jaunts that run their freeform M.O. to their own illogical ends. Following on from recent excursions on The Trilogy Tapes and Impatience, they revel in the long format for Patience, crafting a steady assault of haywire rhythms and swampy, off-world ambience.
On the A-side’s Supersonic Percussion Anagram, a battery of electronic and sampled drums - from window-shaking subs to melodic sub-continent percussion - shift from one bar …
