Dwell Time
*200 copies.* Dwell Time focuses on the moments in between. Expanding on Satie’s Furniture Music, which explores the role of music as a backdrop, Dwell Time explores the moments in between active and passive listening. A sound that maintains a unique balance of properties can start as an active relationship that slowly dissolves into the background and accompanies a listener over its course. The Dwell Time signal remains completely analog, utilizing homemade tape samples and hardware synthesizer…

The beginnings of this project date back to the summer of 2022 when pardo and glass star…

Domus
*300 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* There are roads, paths that inevitably end up joining and there is not always an explanation that is dictated by a precise logic. in fact, there can be many reasons why one decides to take a common path, and in a musical world - which is extremely fragmented - one does not exclude chance or even the sum or escalation of those favourable circumstances that sometimes seem to be inevitable. Thus a simple empathic trigger was all that was needed,…

The Water Of Life
*75 copies limited edition* "The Water of Life" is something I started a long time ago, originally as part of a 2015 series that John Flannelly put together called "Mellow Monday" where artists performed long form sets right in Monument Circle, Indianapolis. People were invited to collaborate, although only one curious child actually did (as is often the case).
It was initially supposed to be, and still is, a Dune concept album. Although once they announced the new version of Dune, I mentally sh…
The Depth of Rain
"My first day in China after two years away, I noticed a strange round object on the table - not only in appearance, but because it emitted musical notes, and my girlfriend literally doesn't listen to music. Ever. Further inquiry revealed it was a handmade version of a steel tongue drum, made by her uncle for her niece, in the hopes that she would not only learn about music, but learn to love it. Neither of those came to pass. But what remained was an object whose sounds I couldn't stop listenin…
Demain Des L'Aube
Barely a week seems to go by without us hearing from zake, the US ambient producer who is hugely prolific and also unwaveringly creative with each new project. For this latest in a long line of many essential albums on his own Past Inside The Present label he links with From Overseas for the sublime sounds of Demain Des L'aube. This is a 160-gram audiophile vinyl version that sinks you deep into his widescreen and sweeping crepuscular synth work. It is delicate and spare but hugely impactful and…
Unlikely Places
The ambient husband-and-wife duo is an effective formula, one which here reawakens in the form of Awakened Souls. James Bernard and Cynthia Hall Bernard join forces for the making of Unlikely Places, a mini-album of Californian swells, field-recorded wonderments and guitar-drenched accompaniments - ultimately a washed-out ode to the creative possibility in all things. Centring on the idea that inspiration can be found anywhere, this is an album of relentless, gazy, waterfally gushings, from the …
Cadere
Past Inside The Present is at it again, and by 'it' we mean both releasing great music and also doing so on unusual formats. This new single 'Cadere' is taken from Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea's forthcoming long-player, which will arrive in the Spring of next year, and it comes on a rather unusual glass-mastered 3" mini-CD which includes a download link and code. It's a lush and widescreen ambient single detailed with subtly uplifting chords coated in lo-fi hiss and hum. Also included is a…

Drawing inspiration from various sources, Dellarge found creati…
Reworks
Whisky soaked, nocturnal, brooding. Aging’s album ‘Troubles? I Got A Bartender’ was a noteworthy, film-noir infused suite that quietly slipped out on cassette in 2015 by a then budding Manchester avant-jazz ensemble, led by David McLean. In 2020, amidst the pandemic’s tempest and winter's gloom, the idea manifested of showcasing McLean’s slow burning, wistful soirée in a new light via a curated effort by Berlin’s Vaagner label, which invited a series of hand-picked artist to rework selected comp…
Frenton Cantolay
Mondoriviera is the moniker of Ravenna-based musician and visual artist Lorenzo Camera. Producing music at the crossroad between late-night z-series horror movie soundtracks, 2d modular synthesis digital soundscapes and new-school plunderphonics, after his debut “Il Tempio degli Uomini Granchio” on New Weird Italian label Riforma, and the folk-vaporwave soundtrack for videogame Nott Longa on Artetetra, Mondoriviera is back with 10 new tracks jumping from the golden era of glossy horror VHS to ne…

Structures
"Anyone who knows me, knows my obsession with the 1981 film Thief. The opening scenes show a cold, methodical, neon lit diamond heist soundtracked by Tangerine Dream. Contrasted with, the thief sharing a danish with a stranger fishing on an endless ocean at dawn. The heist is technical and calculated. The fishing is grounded and ancient. I'm sure that I'm projecting some of my personal experiences onto the film unfairly. As over time i've come to see the line between these two scenes more and mo…
Impossible Worlds
False Walls releases a solo album from Glasgow-born and London-based guitarist Kevin Daniel Cahill. Consisting of two long tracks, the album traces a steady progression as it moves through different environments — initially ambient and isolationist in tone, the work ultimately reaches a form of transcendence. Rooted in Kevin’s guitar-playing, though not immediately identifiable as such due to the deployment of tape loops and effects, the album foregrounds feeling and atmosphere, and its duration…
