Although this is zakè’s debut release on PITP (2019), these arrangements were originally created in 2006. Sharing a fitting description of the label name with the release, it truly is the ‘Past Inside the Present’. These time-worn selections unfold like a slow-moving cascade, quiet, delicate, and gracefully drifting. The understated arrangements weave together warm, ambient drones that shift from faint lo-fi textures, while sinewy mid-tonal synths sway between idle afternoon reflections and hazy daydreams. Subtly distorted lows, punctuated by transitional swells, propel the music forward, creating a sense of weightless motion. The album breathes with a natural cadence with its final moments dissolving into a quiet, lingering afterglow.
