Over the past decade, ambient drone composer zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) has established his identity with numerous solo works, and his open-minded approach to peers has resulted in a complement of communal efforts; Pallette (who chooses to be known only by that moniker) has crafted no fewer than sixty releases in a particular style of looping, otherworldly delicacy, including the PITP highlight Pathways (2020). About that album, Frizzell recalls, “Rarely do I receive a demo that so absolutely floors me, where I know in an instant that I have to help bring a person’s music to the world.” Following a phase of only occasional contact, the two artists conceived a vision for collaboration, and Somewhere is the remarkable result.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOpener, “In the Belly of a Whale”, is a side-long suspension of time, where various harmonies are situated across the stereo field, gliding through space-time as rumbling bass tones surface in swells like the looming leviathan of its title. The piece offers a generous amount of space in which to get lost, evoking distant cloud masses and atmospheric static – all the spectra and waves that are constantly passing through us, causing imperceptible vibrations on a molecular level. The pensive aura of title track, “Somewhere”, summons an emotional limbo where the shifting fog of the backdrop is punctuated by the slow pulse of a single note, a beacon of light across the roiling immensity.
