Snoweight
Recorded during two days of extreme weather, Eleh's Snoweight conveys the mesmerizing force of a winter storm with sonic realism and romanticism. These two new compositions evoke both warm security and wild, blanketing intensity in ways that are both emotionally arresting and time stopping.
Interdimensional
The new Sonologyst album, "Interdimensional", explores the paraphysical dimension of cosmic music. It completes the dilation process of his sound, which began with the albums "Silencers" and "Ancient Death Cults And Beliefs", which now form an ideal trilogy inspired by what is beyond the boundaries of science. "Interdimensional" is inspired by the scientist Michio Kaku who theorized what could be the remote future of the human species; beyond matter, the stars, and known dimensions. A future tha…
Sacred Tonalities
Mike Lazarev drops his first album on Past Inside the Present and it's one that reminds us why he has such a great reputation as being one of modern ambient and classical's finest composers. After exploring notions of time on previous records, for this one, he embraces the here and now and that lends itself to a record steeped in mindfulness and meditation. As such, Sacred Tonalities is a perfect accompaniment to introspective moments with textural soundscapes placing you at the centre of them. …
Deep Into The Unknown We Shall Endlessly Roam
Zake's fruitful contributions as an artist to his own Past Inside The Present label continues on this new album Deep Into The Unknown We Shall Endlessly Roam. It is an assemblage of arrangements made using archaic tape machines such as a Sony M-570V microcassette voice recorder and obsolete VSC Soundpacer, all on analogue tape. Of course that lends the music a misty, grainy quality that defines much of Zake's ambient. Here his loops and found sounds meld and melt to create vast open spaces that …
Sleep Driving
Union Editions presents Polysick's Sleep Driving. Recorded in Rome, September 2022.
Luz
Luz was produced in an unconventional way, with a sampler, MPC1000. Lorenzo Fringuello chose four musicians: Alessandro Bossi on bass, Daniele Cruccolini on drums, Alessandro De Florio on piano, Cesare Vincenti on trumpets. The four were left free to play on the basis of some musical cues and intuitions. Once the tracks were obtained, Fringuello sampled, cut, processed and recomposed them. The result is an album of seven tracks with a metropolitan funk-jazz sound.
Klangwelt
Weltklang’s 3rd album released exclusively by Orbeatize, containing the very rare Klangwelt album (released in limited edition and sold on cassette tape by Weltklang during their concerts in the 1980’s) and the suite (more than 15 minute of pure electronic-psych trip) taken from the very scarce 1985 album “Gasteig Munich Opening”
Adventures Into Somethingness
Conrad Praetzel is a multi-instrumentalist/ composer/ sound designer based in Northern California. His last five albums were released under the moniker Clothesline Revival, roots Americana with a modern electronica bent that Lucinda Williams acknowledged as an influence on her album “West” in No Depression Magazine.
Conrad Praetzel’s Adventures Into Somethingness is the first album of new music released under his name in twenty-four years. Gone are the traditional roots music instrumentations he…
Form & Feeling
Nein Rodere is the moniker of the Berlin-based music maker and visual artist David Roeder. Having played in bands for more than 20 years - often times making improvised music with other “non-musicians” - Roeder was trained in painting and psychodynamic art therapy. This multifaceted background underpins the complex humour and multiple dimensions of meaning (and double meaning) that bubble below his work. The body of solo efforts that has slowly emerged over the last five years brings to mind the…

”Look up, into the light” she said, while the camera shutter clicked. ”Like this? Does it look holy?” His neck felt stiff. Her reply: ”Yes, just like that. What do you mean holy? Like religious? ”No, more like trying to look very far, somewhere beyond what we can see.” ”Okay, stand still, I’m going to come close to…

Tip! *200 copies imited edition. 2023 stock. In process of stocking* Try to imagine an astonishing reversal of the traditional widespread subservience of sound to story-telling: instead of sound effects providing realism to a narrative, the open shell of an apparent narrative becoming sound work… or perhaps even a new form of weird experimental music that only requires a willingness to listen to the actual sonic matter itself, precisely when it appears to be something else.

*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking. 2023 stock* “This untitled album is an excavation of fluff and audio detritus, feathery caverns being mined for tangled fibres. Insular and close, the sound-environment captured by this trio is somewhat akin to water-logged ears; a pressured confusion of indistinct voices, tape-whispers, and buzzing electronics. It unfolds in languid contemplative fashion, curling endlessly in upon itself, a burrowing within rather than an expansion out, each …
