Past Inside the Present

P I T P 7 7 City of Dawn ‘Silent Portrait’ Limited CD Digipak + digital Purchase CD: 🇺🇸 pitp.bandcamp.com 🇬🇧 Norman Records 🇬🇧 Juno Records 🇮🇹 Soundohm Records 🇯🇵 Tobira Records 🇺🇸 PITP.US For more than a decade, City of Dawn @cityofdawnband (aka Damien Duque) has graced us with a prolific run of experimental ambient that combines guitar with a broad range of other instruments and textures to craft consistently stunning sonic worlds. His work is guided by the enigmas of existence found not only in nature, but in the workings of the brain and body; many pieces are intended to heal through repetition with subtle variation, while others are driven by improvisation, biofeedback, and happenstance. Written, recorded, and produced by City of Dawn. Bass and additional sound textures on ‘Muted Colors Collide with Silent Screams’ by Marisa Grijalva. Mastered at Ambient Mountain House (@ambientmountainhouse ) by James Bernard (@jamesbernard ). Cover design by Damien Duque. Layout and design by zakè (@zake_drone ). ©℗ 2026 Past Inside the Present. This is PITP77.

zakè, Ossa, ASC ‘Microliths and Momentary Drifts’ CD | 7” | Digital Purchase: 🇺🇸 PITP.US 🇺🇸 zakedrone.bandcamp.com 🇬🇧 Norman Records 🇬🇧 Juno Records 🇮🇹 Soundohm Records 🇯🇵 Tobira Records 🇯🇵 Linus Records Microliths and Momentary Drifts is the first full-length collaboration from the trio of zakè @zake_drone (Zach Frizzell), Ossa @auditory_committee (Kaiton Slusher), and ASC @ascaux (James Clements), where rolling analog synth lines, chest-rattling bass, and otherworldly atmospherics evoke and build on the timeless qualities of peak-era 90s ambient. Each artist has released solo and collaborative works for Zakè Drone Recordings and Past Inside The Present (@pastinside ) over the last half-decade, but in this combination, Slusher’s stratospheric fugues take center stage, guided by Frizzell’s compositional hand and the soft power of Clements’ low-end rumble. Each of the eight “Microlith” tracks is a miniature melodic theme or textured vignette, alternating in sequence with the seven longer and more journeylike “Momentary Drift” pieces. These spectral sounds exist between the murky shadows of the past and the telescopic gaze of the future, where melancholy, guarded optimism is transmitted by imperfect machines. Written, recorded, and produced by zakè, Ossa, and ASC. Additional guitar and textures on ‘Momentary Drift 7’ by Chad Mossholder from Twine. Mixed by zakè at KTS. Mastered by James Bernard (@jamesbernard ) at Ambient Mountain House (@ambientmountainhouse ). Photography by Benoît Pioulard (@b.pioulard ) on Polaroid SX-70 film. Layout and design by zakè.

Borrowed from Japanese philosophy, Kaizen denotes “change for the better”, reflecting the process of rebuilding health, confidence, and artistic identity through intuitive creation. “It is a record defined by patience and persistence,” Teixeira notes, “proving that growth doesn’t require dramatic reinvention, only the commitment to keep moving forward, one thoughtful step at a time.” All music written, mixed, arranged, performed, and produced by Almøst Silent (G.Teixeira) at DizzyLabFactory 64. Spoken words on ‘Bright Light’ by Bryan Freymuth. Mastered at Ambient Mountain House (@ambientmountainhouse ) by James Bernard (@jamesbernard ).

P I T P 7 5 anthéne ‘perennials’ limited digipak cd + digital perennials is the latest full-length from Toronto-based anthéne (aka Brad Deschamps), who builds transportive, beautifully detailed sonic worlds using only a guitar, sampler, and modest cache of pedals. Here, his refined treatments, manipulations, and experimentations blend seamlessly with an innate sense of harmonic layering to create an impression of seasonal cycles and their relationship to the human experience at scale. In addition to being the founder and curator of Polar Seas Recordings (@polarseasrecordings ) and Floralia Editions, Deschamps has released extensively with luminary labels including Home Normal, Quiet Details, and Constellation Tatsu, earning a reputation as one of the most accomplished and consistent producers of compelling ambient music working today. perennials builds on the ideas and environments of previous solo works like frailty (2025) while summoning its own unique universe of meditative, organic grace. All music written, arranged, performed, and produced by Brad Deschamps. Track 8 reworked from an original piece by Benoît Pioulard. Engineered and mastered at Ambient Mountain House (@ambientmountainhouse ) by James Bernard (@jamesbernard ). Photography by Benoît Pioulard (@b.pioulard ) on Polaroid SX-70 film.

🌌🌌🌌 The Dream Season by Slow Dancing Society & City of Dawn The Dream Season by Slow Dancing Society (Drew Sullivan) and City of Dawn (Damien Duque) is the debut collaboration between the two longtime PITP artists. Set firmly in the stillness of nighttime, the album captures quiet city alleys, empty sidewalks, and dim streetlights glowing in the distance. The duo move freely through minimal electronica and ambient textures, creating a cohesive and stark portrait of the city after dark. There is something transformative about stepping out when a city sleeps, when the shapes and silhouettes of its daily rush soften and shift beneath the covering of night. The Dream Season serves as a soundtrack for those who remain awake in the dark, finding beauty in the calm that follows the noise. #pastinsidethepresent #ambient
