Anyone familiar with Frizzell’s worldly catalog of tape-saturated drone knows that each volume exists in its own unique climate, and forms a distinct topography – with B⁴+3, you might imagine a weathered harbor dock at dawn, with black water rippling out into fog, and dense swathes of old-growth looming behind.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Bracken” opens with delicate harmonic themes that build into vast waves, while a granular crackle intimates the last throes of life in the soil before hibernation.

The revised iteration of “Burnt” is the sound of a roiling sky, opening up as a murmuration spills across the panorama.

Comforting, sub-bass swells appear in full form, imperceptibly pulsing like the slowed hearts of subaquatic life in the midst of a freeze. The album’s most shadowy passage arrives with new pieces “Blight” and “Bane” – the former a bone-chilling wind across the tundra, and the latter a dive through an ice cave into some unforgiving abyss, both illustrating the immense range that defines zakè’s vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Barren” is a perfect closer to this suite, its solemn, holy tonality like an ashen cross on the forehead, a mark of grace and humility in the cryptic infinite. As its final chords fade, B⁴+3 offers only an ambiguous sense of resolution. Through pensive processes and a philosophy of open-ended, shapeshifting composition, zakè reminds us that no piece of music is ever truly finished – one only finds a stopping place before summoning the will to carry on deeper into the mist.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : zakè\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePast Inside The Present\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-02-15T09:57:54+09:00","created_at":"2025-02-14T12:12:53+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","new","Past Inside The Present","tape"],"price":237300,"price_min":237300,"price_max":237300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47127599579386,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"zakè \/\/ B⁴+3 TAPE","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":237300,"weight":60,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b1.jpg?v=1739502643","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b2.jpg?v=1739502644"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b1.jpg?v=1739502643","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35569693753594,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b1.jpg?v=1739502643"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b1.jpg?v=1739502643","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":35569693786362,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b2.jpg?v=1739502644"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/b2.jpg?v=1739502644","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・\u003cspan\u003eインディアナポリス\u003c\/span\u003eのアンビエント作家zakèが、2025年1月に\u003cspan\u003e自身主宰レーベル\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZakè Drone Recordingsから50本限定で\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eリリースした再発カセットです。（オリジナルは2024年リリース）\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e濃霧アンビエントドローン7曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=685766193\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/pitp\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/pitp\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Past Inside The Present releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code.
