Steve Mahoney Zake has just dropped another sonic beauty today.
Sound Space Variations. Put your seat belt on. Press ignition. Your going off on a trip. My soundtrack to Space Travel. Zake work is always different, but you know its the master the second you hear it. I own on cassette, vinyl or cd just about Zakes complete catalogue of music. Favorite track: Variation 3.

marine eyes these gentle drones are a portal to a comforting place. each track is a reminder there is power within the pause and new perspectives are closer to our reach than it often feels. Favorite track: Variation 2.

Slow Dancing Society More quality tunes from Zakè. Gentle textures to keep you company and underscore every waking (and sleeping) moment.

36 Delicate and emotionally powerful drones, that work beautifully in the shortform. If you like Martin Stig Andersen's Limbo OST, you will love this too. Favorite track: Variation 4.

Christopher Ellis Timeless journeys beautiful memories.

◾️◾️◾️ REVIEW

The Moments Between Sounds - A Musical Artwork

“Sound Space Variations" is a delicate and restrained sound bath. A mix of atmospheric, suspenseful drone sounds and meditative aspects. It is an album made for those moments when we just are.

zakè has managed to capture the moments that lie between sounds. I am sure you know those unagitated murmurs and atmospheric hisses. The artist connects this in-between-world and our earthly one with calm and sonorous scores, making us think about everything and nothing.

The six pieces on the record do not seem heavy-headed or overloaded but much more airy, wide and open for interpretations. They stimulate the imagination – in a wonderfully unbiased way. In the last track, "Bewrayeth", Kévin Séry makes a surprise appearance – he has added an excellent guitar accompaniment to the song.

James Bernard mixed and mastered the album, written and produced by drone artist zakè, at Ambient Mountain House Studio. zakè himself provided the artwork and photos himself.”
