'Color Language' is the first collaborative effort between zakè and Akkad the Orphic Priest.
There are few things in art that are more more important (or subjective) than the use of color. Color changes moods and creates atmosphere. Colors can sit next to one another in complete harmony or stand out in opposition to one another causing a sense of friction. Colors can be the hue itself or it can be a word that mentally triggers an image of the color in our minds.
'Color Language' is a celebration of these ideas through the use of sound. Gold is both a color and an element. It is both a description of the object and the object itself. Opal is at once a mineral yet it evokes an image of many colors working together in tandem.
Colors can effect emotional states. A color that cultivates joy in one person may be depressing or melancholic to another. The language of color is vast. Its beauty and mystery will be celebrated forever.
Upon listening to the music of 'Color Language', hopefully it reveals the truth that both color and sound are deeply connected. We can evoke mental celebrations of the spectrum by simply listening to certain compositions. We let them take us away into a world of our own creation.

'Orchestral Studies Collectanea' consists of seven previously unreleased orchestral movements (Tracks 1-7) in addition to remastered variations of arrangements that originally appeared on, 'Orchestral Tape Studies' and 'Orchestral Tape Studies [Tyresta Reworks]'.
Orchestral Studies Collectanea is a compilation arranged and produced by zakè with additional production by close friend Tyresta. OSC is a group of richly layered movements of fragmented orchestral loops, paying homage to minimalist symphonic composers and orchestras. zakè and Tyresta incorporate field recordings and faint drone billows to accompany these selected samples of orchestral loops. With an emphasis on tone and recurrent murmurs, these arrangements offer approximately 48 minutes of delicate repetition, reticent sound treatments, and subtle manipulations. OSC is intended for low-volume listening.
Arranged and produced by zakè
Additional production on tracks 1, 3, 6, 7, 12-14 by Tyresta
Mastered at Schwebung Mastering (Germany) by Stephan Mathieu

Past Inside the Present is pleased to present an extraordinary compilation titled, ‘Geneva’, showcasing the works of some of the most prolific and prominent ambient artists of our time. Intentionally chosen for their positive impact in the genre and influential previous works; nine artists exhibit their masterfully crafted sounds based off a simple loop that was provided to them. Each artist on ‘Geneva’ used a loop created by zakè and then in turn reworked, manipulated and expanded upon the source material resulting in their own unique creation.
‘Geneva’ includes familiar PITP artists, (Benoît Pioulard, Hotel Neon, Warmth, worriedaboutsatan, Isaac Helsen & Tyresta) in addition to several artists appearing for the first time on the PITP imprint (The Sight Below, Poemme, & Andrew J Klimek). Mastered at Black Knoll Studio (NY) by Rafael Anton Irisarri, ‘Geneva’ is a compelling and inspirational paean to various forms and patterns of the ambient genre.

Venturing away from the blissful and gentle dronescapes zakè regularly produces, NYX is the final chapter of a three part series that includes previous works, ‘Terra’ and ‘Dusk’. Similar in nature to its predecessors, NYX is a more structured output by inviting subtle rhythmic bass hits at slightly different bpms for each hypnotizing arrangement.
NYX, Terra, and Dusk takes the listener on a contemplative journey that encompasses various field recordings and climatic hiss. Each track unfolds patiently, while becoming more hypnotizing as the bass murmurs and layers of sound become one together.

Written during desolate times, where social isolation became the norm of everyday life; frozen in time. Illusions of a secure world and society. Visions of hope and peace. A balanced realm of space and time. An apparition of a former self. The emergence of a force that could not be stopped.

Thesis 18, which features a delightfully unexpected partnership between Black Brunswicker, Lucy Gooch & zakè. As with most Thesis releases, this is an inspired pairing of artists that had never collaborated previously, but these three do share a connection as they have all recently released material on Past Inside the Present, a label which zakè co-founded two years ago.
Lucy Gooch’s Rushing, which came out early this year, has garnered much well-deserved attention for her distinctive blending of ambient, choral, an pop motifs while Black Brunswicker’s Hidden Amongst the Trees and Foothills and zakè’s Orchestral Tape Studies feature prominently among my most recommended ambient albums of 2019.
“Wash Away” is a mesmerizing amalgam of sounds created by all three artists while “On a Sunny Shore” is an warmly pastoral mediation on guitar & tape by Black Brunswicker.
In addition to the cover art, Thesis created three beautiful new poster prints to accompany the release as well as the highly unique “turntable ballet” which assembles contour line drawings of each musician’s hand, as well as their city of origin, on a stalk of prairie plant mounted to driftwood which spins along while the album plays.

Dusk is the latest collaboration between HSP & PITP artist Low Howl and zakè. Venturing away from the blissful and gentle dronescapes both artists have become known for, Dusk introduces a more structured output by inviting subtle rhythmic bass hits at slightly different bpms for each hypnotizing arrangement. Dusk is yet another contemplative journey that encompasses various field recordings and climatic hiss. Each track unfolds patiently, while becoming more hypnotizing as the bass murmurs and layers of sound become one together.

Coppice Movements is an addendum to 'Carolina', an album released by Polar Seas Recordings. These five arrangements follow a similar formula as its predecessor; suffused with manipulated field recordings and persistent drones that gently flow. Mastered at Schwebung Mastering (Germany) by Stephan Mathieu, Coppice Movements is a continuation of solemn yet jovial paean to seclusion and quiet moments of self-reflection, bathed in shimmering reflections with a profound sense of stillness and serenity.

The first collaboration between frequent Past Inside the Present contributor Slow Dancing Society (both as an artist and in-house engineer for other PITP releases) and the label’s founder zakè, present 'Mirrored'; a wonderful meditative exploration of glacial drones, atmospheric hum, and touches of restrained ambient techno.
Mirrored is a quietly powerful, contemplative album with a beautiful stillness at its center. Layered dronescopes are intertwined with murmuring electronic rhythms, hypnotic bass, and the occasional pneumatic beat resulting in a collection of pieces that radiates a glowing warmth.

REVIEW.
"The latest full-length excursion from the Zakè Drone label brings together imprint chief zakè and Past Inside The Present collaborator Slow Dancing Society for a first collaborative outing. Comprising six slow-motion tracks that sit somewhere between drone, academic ambient, sound design, ambient techno and neo-classical, "Mirrored" is an undeniably meditative affair capable of soothing stressed minds and warming aching limbs. There are of course distinctive highlights - see the gently throbbing deep space chords and hypnotic deep techno beats of "Mirrored", the windswept-but-warm pulse of "Anamnesis" and the contemplative late night drift of "Nadir" - but the album's greatest strength is undoubtedly how it sits together as a coherent, mood-enhancing whole."

Set against the backdrop of an escape to hidden corners of the rural Southeast, prolific healing sound propagandist zakè and Polar Seas Recordings present Carolina. Suffused with manipulated field recordings, each of Carolina's four pieces reenacts a moment in its composer's journey: "Gaffney Fields" pairs memorial chimes with a persistent drone, while the flowing "Chesnee Rivulet" and the gentle roar of "Woodland Aurora" evoke distant ensembles lost in a forest thrum. Mastered at Black Knoll Studio (NY) by Rafael Anton Irisarri, Carolina is a solemn yet joyful paean to seclusion, and the awe beyond our doors.
160 gram colored vinyl in three variations; (transparent yellow, transparent green, transparent blue) housed in a full color, semi-gloss jacket. Full color labels. Record placed in an anti-static, high density rice paper innersleeve. Shrink-wrapped. Limited to 100 per color.
