Certain Path
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…
Flint
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…
Keep The Orange Sun (Reworks)
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…
Live Improvisations
*100 copies limited edition* "The colours that appear in autumn are the soul of perennial transition and slow breath; once a chill sets in and the chlorophyll-green of the leaves migrates to the trunk of the tree, those yellows, oranges and reds emerge from chemical remnants that have in fact been there all along, awaiting their moment on the forest’s lissome stage. It is a graceful manner of self-sustenance for the organism, but a source of ineffable beauty for the observing eye. Potent, poetic…
Demain Des L'Aube
Barely a week seems to go by without us hearing from zake, the US ambient producer who is hugely prolific and also unwaveringly creative with each new project. For this latest in a long line of many essential albums on his own Past Inside The Present label he links with From Overseas for the sublime sounds of Demain Des L'aube. This is a 160-gram audiophile vinyl version that sinks you deep into his widescreen and sweeping crepuscular synth work. It is delicate and spare but hugely impactful and…
Live at the Gothic Chapel
On February 18, 2023 in a very intimate setting, zakè, Marc Ertel, James Bernard, and From Overseas performed live at the historic Gothic Chapel, located at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana US. The set was multi-track recorded from the soundboard and is now available for those who were unable to attend the performance in person.
Misty Memories
*Limited edition* Regular collaborator with label boss zake, City of Dawn teams up with From Overseas, an aptly named producer based on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. The result is classic Past Inside The Present - quivering, celestial ambient music that would fit into the drone category if it weren't for the fact it's constantly, subtly changing and evolving almost imperceptibly. Utterly horizontal in attitude, utterly heavenly in realisation, this is a corker even by PITP's very high stan…
Anon 2 (LP)
*300 copies * These tracks came to life in April 2020 after reading a poem by Charles Baudelaire called ‘Rêve Parisien’ (Parisian Dream) in his book of poetry ‘Les Fleurs du mal’ (Flowers of Evil). I was really focused on the theme of Dreams and this poem spoke to me when the world was experiencing a first global lockdown with these surreal big ghost cities. This side is therefore called ‘Rêve’." - From Overseas "These pieces were composed in July of 2020, just as it was becoming clear that lock…
