PITP is very excited to announce that ambient producer, James Bernard is now part of the PITP artist roster!

6/13/2019

 
james bernard ambient drone electronic music atwater lp pitp pastinside the present label atwater asip a strangely isolated place cd cassette
PITP is very excited to announce that ambient producer, James Bernard is now part of the PITP artist roster! James is an LA-based musician that has been creating and releasing ambient electronic music since 1994.

In February 2019, James' highly acclaimed effort on A Strangely Isolated Place titled, 'Atwater' was saturated with beautiful sounds emerging from a Moog Mother 32, custom built filters and various Eurorack modular sequencers, modules and effects.

James continues his proven and unique efforts in creating ethereal tones on this latest collection of songs titled 'Fragments' due out on Past Inside the Present in late summer. 'Fragments' was created by using a method of composition James has been perfecting where he takes small pieces of unreleased music that he has written stretching over the last 10 years, and runs them through different modes and types of granular stretching and FFT processing. In some cases, the original audio source was no longer than 20-30 seconds long.

Fragments will be released on a limited edition cassette and CD, along with a digital download option. PITP is honored to share this collection of music.

'Remnants Vol. III' by Isaac Helsen Now Available!

6/6/2019

 
Isaac Helsen Remnants PITP past inside the present ambient drone lp cassette blog
Isaac Helsen Remnants PITP past inside the present ambient drone lp cassette blog
PITP is pleased to present 'Remnants Vol. III’ by Isaac Helsen. These arrangements have taken several forms over many years: A full-length album and a double album, before it was scrapped entirely; reborn as a four-part series of EPs, and scrapped again; finally, taking form as 'Remnants', an eight-part series to be released over the course of 2019 on Past Inside the Present.

The project is both an autobiographical examination of the artist’s struggles with mental health and an attempt to deconstruct the idea of an album, creating a new series of sounds by collecting broken pieces of varying styles and in scattered stages of completion.

The individual eight volumes will be released sporadically and unpredictably throughout the remainder of 2019, noting both the sporadic and unpredictable nature of these collections of sound as well as the processes in which they were conceived.


Volume III context and setting:
Looking back, feeling the heaviness of disconnect between reality and projection of memory. The warmth of nostalgia fades quickly into detachment and isolation.

50% of all proceeds for the ‘Remnants’ series will be donated to Active Minds, a charity focused on opening the conversation about mental health through support services and education, aimed at students aged 14-25.

Orchestral Tape Studies by 扎克

6/4/2019

 
past inside the present pitp ambient label blog drone classical minimal soundscape spacemusic
Orchestral Tape Studies is a compilation arranged and curated by healing sound propagandist, 扎克. OTS is a group of richly layered movements of fragmented orchestral loops, paying homage to minimalist symphonic composers and orchestras. 扎克 incorporates field recordings and faint drone billows to accompany these selected samples of orchestral loops. With an emphasis on tone and recurrent murmurs, these four arrangements offer 32 minutes of delicate repetition, reticent sound treatments, and subtle manipulations. OTS is comprised of elements and sampling from the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
OTS is offered as a ‘name your price’ download, but 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra (MYO) towards a Student Scholarship. The MYO is a youth and family development program of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. The program focuses on developing life skills through the rehearsal and performance of music and is designed to use the life skills learned through music instruction to engage youth in activities that discourage at-risk behaviors and keep them committed to staying in school. A student scholarship is $200 and our goal and intention is to sponsor one child for the program.  Further information on The Metropolitan Youth Orchestra can be found HERE.
