zakè is an American ambient producer. His genre-spanning approach to ambient results in work seemingly still; glimmering with texture & artifacts, yet anchored by a driving, gravitational pull. Recognized as a pioneer of slow-evolving minimal drone, he utilizes archaic synths, field recordings & tape machines to create solemn, drifting soundscapes for deep listening. Interested in music as a method of processing lived experience, zakè approaches each album as a marker of time—a relation gestured in the name Past Inside The Present, the label he founded in 2018. zakè has released his works through: Past Inside the Present, Affin LTD, Azure Vista Records, Dunk!Records, Quiet Details, & Zakè Drone Recordings; an imprint that publishes his own material along w/ collaborative projects. Other releases can be found on Thesis, Polar Seas Recordings & others zakè has worked with these prolific artists: 36, The Sight Below, Benoît Pioulard, bvdub, Jonas Munk, Joachim Spieth, James Bernard, Markus Guentner, marine eyes, Rafael Anton Irisarri, From Overseas, Warmth, Pausal, Lucy Gooch, ASC & others “Thoughtful ambient music, right when many of us need it most” -Pitchfork “Perfect listening at low volume, zakè’s output serve as a perfect escapist tool from our current surreal predicament” -Headphone Commute ‘Towering immersive minimal drone ambience’ -BBC Sounds “zakè‘s music evolves slowly, drawing the listener in to get lost in its subtly epic scope” -All Things Loud
