Quiet Spirit

zakè & City Of Dawn - Quiet Spirit

Live Improvisations brims with a consistent mastery of tone, texture and movement, and elegantly takes its time in doing so. Progressions evolve almost imperceptibly, allowing for moments of negative space that give way to gossamer swells in the purest of warm guitar tones. At times the only reminder of human hands in this billowing expanse is the distant flit of a fingertip, lightly scratching the A string while shifting chords. Altogether it gives the feeling of being dropped into one extended moment of an eternal drift, eons easing outward on either side of the fade.

Live Improvisations

Live Improvisation II [Chihei Hatakeyama, Hakobune, zakè, From Overseas]

zakè is an American ambient artist. His genre-spanning approach to ambient results in work seemingly still; glimmering with texture & artifacts, yet anchored by a driving, gravitational pull. zakè approaches each record as a marker of time- a relation gestured in the name Past Inside the Present, the ambient/drone label he founded in 2018.
