about

Narrated by strings of plucked piano phrases that come and go like afterthoughts, 'The Elia Passages' is either the retelling of a culture that has yet to exist, or the remembrances of one that may never have existed.
The gently wavering carpets of synth conjure up images of houses overrun by greenery, faded fabric, smoke billowing into the night. The muffled sound of bonfires, quiet storms, and running water lend a sense of physical presence to the music, as one might vaguely remember the sound of a place a specific memory is tied to - but the tales told in the Elia Passages, like most myths, exist outside of time: beyond the sonic environment they present, the space they occupy is that of the imagination.

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. Steve Mahoney

As I drift away from the Earth and all its chaos, its gleam reduces to a speck in the vast cosmos surrounding me. I close my eyes and take my solace among the ocean of stars. Christopher Nolan
