leon todd johnson - untitled (PITP87)
26 AUGUST 2026 / LIMITED CASSETTE / DIGITAL
leon todd johnson makes his Past Inside the Present debut with untitled, a three track collection of ambient adjacent instrumental pieces shaped by gentle guitar work, analog textures, and tactile instrumentation. Formerly recording as Airport People, the Indianapolis-based artist has spent years refining a patient, understated approach that feels both immediate and nostalgic.
Each composition balances warmth, restraint, and subtle detail. The music evokes memories that feel both forgotten and newly remembered without leaning on sentimentality, allowing its painterly arrangements and soulful depth to emerge naturally. untitled is a confident introduction to johnson's work on Past Inside the Present and another welcome addition to the growing community of Indiana artists represented by the label, itself proudly based in Indiana.
CREDITS:
Written, recorded, produced, arranged, mixed, and performed by Leon Todd Johnson. Instrumentation: electric guitar, bass guitar, synthesizer, orchestral sample manipulations (vibes, harp, celesta, violins, cello, marimba, flute), and Monome Norns + Arc (custom script by ltj). Field recordings captured outside his home in Indianapolis. Mastered by zakè. Cover art by Ada Johnson. Layout and design by zakè.

Tyresta - Nothing Is Hidden (PITP84)
19 AUGUST 2026 / DIGIPAK CD / DIGITAL
Before the music found its form, Tyresta emerged as a means of finding footing through life's uncertainty. What began in 2016 as a quiet creative outlet gradually evolved into one of the defining voices within the Past Inside the Present catalog. Over the past decade, Nick Turner has crafted a body of work distinguished by emotional honesty, restraint, and a remarkable sensitivity to atmosphere.
From the deeply affecting All We Have (2020), through its poignant companion Small Hours (2023), to the expansive collaborations found on Color of Time (2021), Color of Time II (2024), and Azimuth with Simon McCorry (2025), Turner's music has consistently explored memory, grief, healing, and the quiet spaces between them. Each release has marked another chapter in an artistic journey defined not by spectacle, but by sincerity.
Recorded between 2023 and 2025, Nothing Is Hidden represents a gentle yet meaningful shift in perspective. Where earlier works were born from loss and the slow work of recovery, this collection turns its gaze toward gratitude. These compositions are reflections on the enduring friendships, kindness, and love that carried Turner through his most difficult years. Featuring contributions from some of his closest collaborators and favorite musicians, the album feels both deeply personal and quietly communal, celebrating the relationships that have become inseparable from the music itself.
There is a palpable sense of arrival throughout Nothing Is Hidden. Rather than looking backward, the album embraces the present with warmth and quiet confidence, offering arrangements that feel patient, luminous, and profoundly human. It is music that invites reflection while remaining hopeful, allowing moments of stillness to speak as eloquently as melody.
Nick has been an essential part of Past Inside the Present since the label's inception, helping shape both its sound and its identity through a catalog of deeply resonant works. We are honored to continue documenting his artistic legacy with Nothing Is Hidden, a record that stands not only as a culmination of the journey thus far, but as a beautiful reminder that, even after our darkest seasons, gratitude has a way of revealing what has been there all along.

Jessica Roch - Human Music: Live Improvisations I (PITP81)
29 JULY 2026 / DIGIPAK CD / DIGITAL
Jessica Roch is a London based, award winning composer, multi instrumentalist, sound designer, and improviser. Her solo work moves fluidly across genres, weaving ambient and electronic textures with elements of minimalism, jazz, folk, and experimental music. A classically trained violinist and pianist, Jessica creates music for film, games, and contemporary media, while also collaborating as a session musician with artists including Super Furry Animals. In 2025, she received a Composer Spotlight Award at the Production Music Awards. She has recently performed at Cafe OTO and is a co-founder and director of The London Ambient Orchestra. Jessica's composition Pandemonium: Music for Parakeets, created as part of a cross disciplinary artistic collaboration, was featured at The Design Museum as part of the Artificial exhibition, where it was on display throughout the summer season.
Speaking about her debut album on Past Inside the Present, Human Music: Live Improvisations I, Jessica explains: “This album is an unambiguous protest and rejection of AI-generated “music”. It is imperfect, it is raw and it is unpredictable. That is the beauty of live improvisation. It is innately human.”
Drawn from performances captured between 2022 and 2025 in concert halls, intimate venues, and assembly rooms across England, Human Music: Live Improvisations I is a document of spontaneity, vulnerability, and presence. Each piece unfolds in real time, free from predetermined outcomes, embracing the subtle imperfections, fleeting decisions, and emotional responses that define genuine human expression.
The album's title serves as both a statement and a philosophy. In an era increasingly shaped by automation and algorithmic creation, Human Music celebrates the irreplaceable qualities of live performance: intuition, risk, connection, and the profound beauty found in uncertainty. These recordings are not polished constructions assembled from endless revisions, but living moments captured as they happened, shaped by the atmosphere of the room, the energy of the audience, and the artist's instinct in the moment.
Beautifully curated from a collection of live performances, the album was mixed by Jessica herself and mastered with remarkable sensitivity by James Bernard. Together they preserve the immediacy and emotional depth of each performance while allowing every nuance, resonance, and breath of the room to remain intact. The result is a deeply personal body of work that stands as both an artistic statement and a testament to the enduring power of human creativity.

Lamasz & Grandbuit - Fictions (PITP82)
10 JULY 2026 / DIGIPAK CD / CASSETTE / DIGITAL
Lamasz and Grandbruit return to Past Inside the Present for the first time in more than five years with Fictions, the first collaborative recording from brothers Pier-Luc and Francis Tremblay. Following four acclaimed solo releases across the label, Fictions brings together the defining elements of both artists into a single body of work.
Drawing from the tape loop driven structures of Nature Morte (PITP-C016, 2020) and Broderie (PITP-C021, 2021), alongside the layered guitar compositions and environmental recordings that shaped Ruptures (PITP-C017, 2020) and Ville inerte (PITP-C019, 2021), the album finds common ground between repetition, decay, and atmosphere. Loops evolve gradually, guitars blur into dense harmonic fields, and tape hiss becomes an active part of the compositions rather than background texture.
Rather than merging two established styles, Fictions expands them. The result is a focused collection of slow moving, deeply enveloping pieces that embraces imperfection through analog processes while maintaining a strong sense of melody and restraint. It marks a natural continuation of both artists' catalogs and a long awaited return to the Past Inside the Present catalog.
