zakè is an American ambient composer and sound artist. His genre-spanning approach to ambient results in work seemingly still; glimmering with texture and artifacts, yet anchored by a driving, gravitational pull. Recognized as a pioneer of slow-evolving minimal drone, he utilizes archaic synths, sound manipulation, and tape machines to create solemn, drifting soundscapes for deep listening. Interested in music as a method of processing lived experience, zakè approaches each record as a marker of time—a relation gestured in the name Past Inside The Present, the ambient/drone label he founded in 2018.
