Sacred Gong Dive
*2023 stock* "Gongs have been part of my life since 1970, when as Jazz Swiss School student in Bern (Switzerland), I had the lucky opportunity to visit the Paiste, Cymbal and Gongs factory. I was immediately fascinated by the sonic world of the gong and related metal percussion and I started dreaming a future that could possibly include those marvelous instruments. Few years later, while in New York on my first US trip, I found few Albums of Balinese Music in a small record store in the Greenwic…

The Return of the Durutti Column
The Return Of The Durutti Column is an iconic debut, pairing Vini Reilly’s introspective guitar sketches with Martin Hannett’s atmospheric production. Hailed as a bridge between post-punk, ambient, and classical motifs, the album stands out for its refined vulnerability and timeless melodic experimentation.
Sotto
‘Sotto’ is Andrew Oda’s attempt at world building in sound. Meshing method, mind, metaphysical and mundane into massive murals, its triptych of vivid compositions seem to wield electronic sound like a magic paintbrush. Inspired by the paintings of Otto Marseus van Schrieck, Ljubomir Popović, and Nicole Duennebier, ‘Sotto’’s three parts inhabit environments bursting with explosive internal ecologies of synthesized pulsations, yawning drones, tinkling imaginary chimes, and abstract noisy rumblings…
Opel
On Opel, Syd Barrett’s lost songs and alternate takes surface like fragments from a parallel 1968–70, exposing the raw circuitry behind The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. What was once fan lore becomes a fragile, disorienting self‑portrait in real time.
The Inner Garden
On her debut for Past Inside the Present, UK-based Hadley Roe performs a vivid sonic alchemy with a modest setup of electric guitar, synth, and software – but The Inner Garden’s beating heart lies in the immense healing force that Roe summons from the quiet corners of her countryside home and its surroundings. She is publicly candid about her ongoing struggles with mental health, and the album’s eight pieces draw much of their inspiration from unresolved trauma, self-imposed isolation, and inten…

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…
