Generations
"Generations" by Amsterdam based artist Origin ST is an introspective exploration of the various emotions which he went through during the pregnancy and birth of his first child - fear of change, anxiety, surprise, excitement, longing often all happening at the same time." - Origin ST
Live at Black Circle
Around this time last year, Marc Ertel joined the stage with the PITP brethren James Bernard, zakè, and From Overseas for a live performance at the Gothic Chapel in Indianapolis, US which was eventually released as a limited vinyl LP. Since then, Ertel has been quietly working on new solo arrangements along with new compositions that will be part of an imminent Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea record.
Just a few months after the Gothic Chapel performance, Ertel was invited to play a live set a…
Uoiea
Uoiea is a collection of meditative and textured minimalist ambient drone pieces created using only a Squier Bass VI and guitar pedals. Where in most of my compositions I tend to add layers and fill as many frequencies as possible, I opted instead to embrace the space between notes, the subtleness of the Bass VI's highest tones, and the general feeling of drifting slowly. The track names are nonsense pseudowords - descriptors of feelings and experiences that do not exist. This is an album for fl…
Issue 124: Barry Gray (Magazine + 7" White)
For this month's Electronic Sound cover feature, we're taking a deep dive into the music of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's sci-fi TV shows, much of it the work of cult British composer Barry Gray. We're bundling the magazine with a superb six-track white vinyl EP featuring some of Gray's classic sci-fi theme tunes and incidental pieces too.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced some of the most exciting children's television of the 1960s and 1970s. The list of their programmes – 'CAPTAIN SCARLET', '…

Science Fiction
Tip! Science Fiction is an album by the American avant-garde jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman, released in February 1972. It is considered as Coleman's creative rebirth. A stunningly inventive and appropriately alien-sounding blast of manic energy, where Coleman combines his past and future, working with bassist Charlie Haden and drummers Billy Higgins and Ed Blackwell. The album is made up of spacy, long-toned melodies and rhythm, including two songs with Indian vocalist Asha Puthl…

Ouroboros
On Katelyn Clark and Mitch Renaud's Ouroboros astronomical and astrological phenomena, concepts and symbols such as the Great Year or the Eternal Return serve as the starting points for sonic explorations and experimentations. Focusing on a uniquely tempered range of frequencies, from low-enddrone rumbles to airy pipe swirls, the duo develops a minimalist and highly evocative sonic universe on their debut album for Hallow Ground.
Working as composers, improvisers and curators in Canada's vibrant…
Future Research Journal Entries (Part 1)
UK-based Inhmost (aka Simon Huxtable) makes his Past Inside the Present début with Future Research Journal Entries (Part I), a document of cosmic proportions that offers a journey through weightlessness or, according to the artist, “a time capsule from a forgotten generation of space travelers”. Many of Huxtable’s works, including the collaboration with ASC, The Moons of Saturn (2021), have touched on similar otherworldly themes, but Future Research offers a particular richness of vision that br…
Selections: Holographic Prism
2025 stock 'Holographic Prism' is the final chapter of The Sky Trilogy by Purl – a three chapter volume of works, exploring collective dreams of celestial origin.
"Every being on this planet lives with the infinite vastness above every day. We call it the sky, and we look to it for beauty, for solace, and perhaps for a moment forgetting about the details of our lives and just taking in the grandeur of it all.
Our collective consciousness contains countless stories about the origins of life and o…
A New Landscape
2025 stock We are excited to announce our next release titled, ‘A New Landscape’ by Lav- his debut long play on PITP. The man behind the machines is Christopher Landin, sound artist and photographer hailing from Karlskrona, Sweden.

‘A New Landscape’ is wonderfully atmospheric, sonically detailed and ultimately an ear-pleasing affair. This collecti…

Pulse 01 features brand new tracks by SYNE and Influx.

Repetition Hymns
2025 stock Past Inside The Present is pleased to announce Repetition Hymns, a double album from the enigmatic Black Swan. Comprised of 19 vignettes, the relatively short tracks impart a strong forward momentum despite the 80-minute runtime. Repetition Hymns is thus particularly well-suited to the temporal distortion of quarantine, in which each day feels like an endless repeating loop. Our bleeding hearts are in need of drone like never before. In the decade since the release of In 8 Movements, …
There's Always a Strawberry Hut
"For over a decade Elizabeth Davis assumed the moniker Wilted Woman. This project was a key in bridging DIY subcultures in the United States and Europe both in contribution to sonic development and the subsequent performance events for her communities. Excelling in eclecticism, Wilted Woman’s sonic vocabulary was adept at deflating the self serious posturing found throughout the fields of various electronic music circles while also being pointedly driven, technically advanced, and with a prolifi…
