Color of Time II
*200 copies limited edition* Past Inside the Present is proud to begin its summer slate with a new, full-length suite from Color of Time, the duo comprising label veterans Kévin Séry (aka From Overseas) and Nick Turner (aka Tyresta). Each artist is known for his own kind of spacious, heart-rending drone, and on II, they occupy a sonic universe in which melancholy themes linger over drifts of harmonic guitar and arrays of intricate detail. The delicacy of these environments results from a passion…
Mid Sky
*200 copies limited edition* Mid Sky, the first full-length collaboration between Past Inside the Present label head zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) and vocalist Angela Winter, is the result of a patient exchange of ideas and arrangements over the course of more than a year. True to its title, the album occupies a rarefied place between the terrestrial and the cosmic, as Frizzell’s organic drones and field recordings unfurl in tandem with the cascading harmonies of Winter’s otherworldly voice, which cr…
Kairos
*200 copies limited edition* Kairos is the sophomore album from Berlin trio Ausklang, following the monumental, critically-acclaimed Chronos (Past Inside the Present, 2020). Throughout its eight movements, Fabian Koppri, Benjamin Sohn, and Simon Ansing play with concepts of relative time and entropy through a masterful balance of melodic post-rock and layered ambient bliss, adorning an understated frame of guitar, bass, and drums with complex, ever-evolving arrangements, ranging from glitchy ele…

Storia Notturna
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Storia Notturna" is a collection of music written, produced and recorded mainly in September 2021, but its origins go back in time. As far back as my University studies in the early 90s. For one of the many extra-departmental courses that my study plan in Philosophy allowed, I chose Social History and found myself studying the seminal study by Carlo Ginzburg "I Benandanti: Stregoneria e culti agrari tra Cinquecento e Seicento" (Einaudi, 1966). It was a r…
We Could For Hours
2008 release ** 199 copies limited edition. Original 2007 CD copies repackaged in a new cover. The old A Silent Place warehouse was flooded by water, so a big amount of goods has been destroyed, in particular the original covers and all printed matters. Few original CD copies were saved and now found, so a new edition has been released. Packaged in a new redesigned cover. "We Could For Hours is instability. It represents the will to open the gates of unknown. It is the dark, whispered sounds and…

Another true gem of deep electronic, ambient and cosmic music from Fabio Orsi! The album is available…
Ploutonion
*150 copies limited edition* "One to Many, Brightness to Darkness, Memory to Oblivion.Pluton Helios or Apollo Helios? When Massimo Pupillo and ILIOS visited the ancient site of Eleusis, Greece in 2019, Ploutonion (the entrance to the underworld) was their final destination. Recordings of the Ploutonion project started right after and were heavily inspired from the juxtaposition of the ancient and current state of things. The entrance to the underworld does not produce any poisonous emissions any…

Abduction Of Mind
Originally released in 1990 and taken from the second and third DSIP recording sessions. Surreal industrial vignettes built upon blown-out loops and electronic delirium, dated by its technology to the late 1980s yet bearing a striking resemblance to present-day plunderphonics.
Two different editions of AOM were published simultaneously by IRRE Tapes (Germany) and Audiofile Tapes (US), which included separate / unique mixes of the final track on the cassette "Chorion-Biopsie". Both mixes of the t…
Nati Infiniti
Following up on 2021’s Scuro Chiaro, Nati Infiniti is a 40-minute piece split into five movements, based on an immersive audio installation that Cortini originally created for the Sónar Lisboa festival in 2022 where it was presented across four floors of the Museu de Lisboa’s Moagem. Cortini later debuted the live performance at Berlin’s Atonal festival in 2023, reimagining the work as a unique, evolving dialogue. The record is mixed by Grammy nominated recording engineer, producer, and mixer Ma…

Trouvé Perdu
*100 copies limited edition* For his 4th solo album, Gilles Poizat continues his highly personal musical adventures, finding a fertile partner in interactive electronics. Twists, bounces, suspensions, random rhythms, multiple modulations. The sounds he plays come back transformed into a mutant orchestra, pulsing and chaotising his floating songs and stimulating his improvisations.
Lewis Spybey
From out of nowhere comes a unique collaborative album from Edvard Graham Lewis (Wire) & Mark Spybey (Zoviet France). Mixing lush electronic rhythms, sonic collage, ambient soundscapes and manipulated field recordings, these six compositions form an album with a strong identity. That this is such a vital and fertile partnership should come as no surprise. After all, both men have made careers out of creating confidently questing musics. Lewis with Wire, He Said, Hox, Dome etc. and Spybey with De…

Jardin Au Fou
Composer/poet Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Kluster, Cluster, Harmonia) is one of the most prolific musicians of the German avant-garde and a key figure in the birth of Krautrock, synthesizer pop and ambient music. Jardin Au Fou is his second solo album, originally issued in 1979 on France's Egg label, and produced by former Tangerine Dream member Peter Baumann. This record was all the more noteworthy as it bore no resemblance whatsoever to what was expected of avant-garde electronica and displayed no…
