扎克

zakè is an American ambient artist. His genre-spanning approach to ambient results in work seemingly still; glimmering with texture & artifacts, yet anchored by a driving, gravitational pull. zakè approaches each record as a marker of time- a relation gestured in the name Past Inside the Present, the ambient/drone label he founded in 2018. He is also the owner of the ambient-drone labels Healing Sound Propagandist, and Zakè Drone Recordings—the latter of which is an imprint used to publish zakè's own material, along with collaborative projects involving his work.

zakè has worked with these prominent artists: 36, The Sight Below, Benoît Pioulard, bvdub, Jonas Munk, Joachim Spieth, James Bernard, Markus Guentner, City of Dawn, Tyresta, marine eyes, Rafael Anton Irisarri, T.R Jordan, Ossa, Slow Dancing Society, Black Swan, Christina Giannone, From Overseas, Wayne Robert Thomas, Ai Yamamoto, Warmth, Pausal, Lucy Gooch, ASC, Belly Full of Stars, anthéne, aural imbalance, Innesti & more.

zakè has appeared on compilations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Taylor Deupree, Julianna Barwick, Simon Scott, Claire Deak, Emilie Levienaise, Goldmund, r beny, Stephen Vitiello, Corey Fuller, Bruno Sanfilippo, SVLBRD, Olan Mill, Purl, KMRU & more.
