Powerhouse American ambient label Past Inside the Present hosted a showcase on December 5, 2026, at The 808 in Indianapolis, Indiana and now serves up a recording of what went down. Label founder zake played, as did Wayne Robert Thomas and Marc Ertel, and they performed selected works from 2019 through to 2025, so gave a great overview of their sound. From the pastoral charms of Zake & Wayne Robert Thomas's 'Coda' to the tender beauty of Marc Ertel & Wayne Robert Thomas's 'Coronation Ring' and fragile melancholy of Marc Ertel's 'Overture No 5', this is a perfectly escapist and cathartic listen that brings deep calm.
