'Morvan' by PGD/MV
Limited Edition Cassette / Digital

On their PITP debut, PDG/MV deliver seven, moody and cinematic improvisations that cover a wide breadth of textures and emotional landscapes.  Mechanical drones, feedback, and static build and eventually collapse into spacious and subaquatic ambiance.  Masterful transitions occur at a moments notice, keeping the listener engaged from start to finish.

All improvisations recorded and produced by Pierre Georges Desenfant & Maxime Vavasseur
July 10 - 13 2017, Chissey-en-Morvan, France
Mastered at Black Knoll Studio (NY) by Rafael Anton Irisarri.
Design & assemblage by zaké

'Remnants Vol. VII' by Isaac Helsen
PITP Digital Exclusive
Two brand new angelic pieces in Helsen’s ‘Remnants Series’ which conjures the solitude of emptiness while contemplating existence.

‘Remnants’ by Isaac Helsen has 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.

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.

Vol. VII context and setting:
solitude in emptiness, facing existence.

'Sunlight of Oneness | Very Amazing Now' by Phillip Wilkerson
PITP Digital Exclusive

Synth lines ripple and radiate throughout Phillip Wilkerson’s “Sunlight of Oneness,” the first track on his PITP debut. The song bathes the listener in a warm bath of blissful tones, momentarily connecting them with the universal plane. The transcendent “Very Amazing Now” follows, which further explores realms beyond our limited sense of self.

Written and composed by Phillip Wilkerson, BMI.

'Streaking Light | The Lowest Tide' by Amulets
7" + Slipmat / Digital

Amulet’s music is intimately tied to the Pacific Northwest. Foggy and emotive soundscapes that perfectly encapsulate what it feels like to spend time on the Western Oregon Coast. With his PITP debut release, Randall Taylor utilizes his signature blend of tape manipulation, field recordings, and instrumentation to convey a sense of pensive hopefulness. Both “Streaking Light” and “The Lowest Tide” are brief but engaging glimpses into an environment that encourages and rewards introspection and wonder
