Músicas Fictícias
2000 release ** "The pieces on this CD represent a systematisation of my auditory perceptions and of my thoughts about Sound. Some titles allude to J Luis Borges, who influenced me in these explorations of Fictitious Music. [...] Each listener will thus become familiar with the «quality» of his experiences, and his concept of the «world» music, so charged with tradicional meanings, will, I hope, be enlarged a little."
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.

Recollections III–IV

Recollection III-IV marks the second in a planned series of 7” releases, each built from Glonti’…

D#m / Gm
2008 release ** "Michael Mantra creates ambient music. More than that, he creates tools for "brain hemisphere synchronization" (after synchronizing the mind and the body, Mantra's work claims to release endorphins - part of the human body's natural pharmacy which work at the level of opiates).
