Le Camion De Marguerite Duras
*100 copies limited edition* "The road is a wrinkled timeline. Uncanny flatness conceals unfolding textures, transparent layers and open tabs. The truck cuts the landscape, tracing the road with a line of mad logic that composites time, space, thought. On “Le Camion de Marguerite Duras,” French duo Jean-Marie Mercimek have returned with a road movie for the blind. Composed and recorded by Marion Molle and Ronan Riou over six years across France and Belgium, this unlikely distillation of microton…
Mana Verde
Amongst all the Italian encounters Bamboo Shows made over the years, here come Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico under their moniker Ninja Exotic Machine. The Turinese duo plays a key role in the development of sunitty, both with their different musical projects and the vanguard leftfield bass label Pho Bho Records they run with Tundra & Federico Spini.
With their ‘Mana Verde’ LP, Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico recount the fanciful ‘legend of the Mana Verde Forest’, thus depicting their porous visi…

The A-Side, Imago Mutatis, is a soundtrack composed for the live show ‘Imago Mutatis’, a performance stirring together music, dance, costumes and scenography; a fantastic tale about spiritual transformation, magical objects and enchanted places. This original soundtrack, divided into four acts, recounts the vicissitudes of Seiti’s search for …
Desire Paths
*100 copies limited edition* "The human obsession with exploring; risking life — whether to establish a name, expand human knowledge, or simply discover what’s over the horizon. A theme repeated by civilisation over thousands of years. Our planet-wide presence is evidence of our compulsion to explore and fulfil our desire to create paths. It will continue for as long as we remain curious."
zYklen (Neotantra, Mare Nostrum, Chitra Records) is Simon Ferris, a musician, composer and synthesist, base…
Tarnished Tapes And Saturated Signals
*150 copies limited edition* 'Tarnished Tapes and Saturated Signals' continues the sonic journey I explored in my last album, Sacred Tonalities (Past Inside The Present, 2023). Now, having broken free from the prison of time, I can freely revisit its very beginnings. This is reflected not only in my production process, where I carefully sculpted each sound within a heavily layered texture, lo-fi aesthetic, and analogue recording, but also in the central idea behind each piece.
To me, this music …
Ornamental Hermits
"Incidentally this cassette confirms a sinister suspicion I've had for a while that the synthetic pan flute is back - fantastic! I feel so lucky for this generous amount of delightfully bubbling synthesizer music from C.D. Noé. A 90 minute exploration of melodic geometry—intricate yet efforless, synthetic yet alive. Melodies ripple, chords shimmer, patterns unfold like a living system in balance. The artist never falls into the sharp-edged maximalism that, at least to my ears, often weighs down …

Grafio Ricerca 002
2008 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies in oversized sleeve. "The music of DsorDNE (aka Marco Milanesio) is conceptual electronic. Grafio Ricerca 002 is a 1988 production for HAX cassette edition when the possibilities of internet distribution and netlabels were science fiction. Now the Lunhare label reprints on CD-R the fruits of quality electronics from the Italian underground accompanied by suggestive and intense covers as the sound kept on the CD-R. Substance and form merge for a hyper…
The Reversed Supermarket Trolley Flies Towards The Rainbow
2006 release ** Limited edition of 388 handnumbered copies with gimmick cover. "A good description of this work is that it's a live recording of a birthday party, with scattered improvisational music and voices of children. It's rather gentle for the most part, save for the occasional scream of a child which you get a taste of in the beginning."
The Invisible Castle
2009 release ** ""Richard Dawson's project that debuted on Blackest Rainbow earlier this year, which was followed by CDRs on Bells Hill, Low Point and Dead Pilot, and another release on Blackest Rainbow, a split cassette with fellow UK droner Gareth Hardwick. The Invisible Castle is far more intense, and in some ways heavier than the previous releases on BR, but retains Dawson's own dark take on the world of psychedelic drone music, and this is a proper drone release, clocking in an hour for the…
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…
13
For its inaugural release of 2025, Past Inside The Present proudly offers a powerful set of new pieces from experimental ambient veteran bvdub (aka Brock Van Wey), simply titled 13. Across its duration, spacious arrangements nest in clouds of reverb, underscored by granular details and entrancing synth arpeggiations. According to Van Wey – a long time scholar of Eastern ideas and literature – every section represents one edict or idea from chapter 13 of the Tao Te Ching, the foundational text of…

Electronic music visionary Pye Corner Audio, a master of blending nostalgia with forward-thinking production, has carved out a unique niche in the electronic music landscape. Drawing inspiration from 1970s and 80s synthesizer music, and cinematic soundtracks, his work often evokes a sense of eerie futurism.

Recollections III–IV
In 2018, Glonti started collecting LPs of Soviet-era Georgian composers at Tbilisi’s “Dry Bridge” flea market. The records mostly consisted of classical and chamber music released on Melodiya, the singular, state owned record label of the USSR. It was through this process that the idea of Recollection was born, as Glonti aimed to create an album that would utilize samples from his growing collection. Recollection III-IV marks the second in a planned series of 7” releases, each built from Glonti’…
Green Desert
2010 release ** "Green Desert contains the latest electronic soundscapes from composer, live electronic performer and guitarist Huib Emmer. This is not a dry sandy desert, but an urban Desert of barren desolate cities that have almost been deserted by the people who lived there. They are cities of the past and present, where streets are shattered, cinemas empty and hotels are abandoned. All eleven pieces on the CD form a kind of storybook on this theme. They are musical stories expressed in term…
