Deeply spiritual album. More welcome than ever. I stared at the stars, the big dipper while listening to HH and tears dropped from my eyes. The night sky, the infinite over my head, it seemed like a cosmic opera. Thank you. Favorite track: HH.4.

David Smith Zaké has made a lot of beautiful music. This is surely among the best. Gorgeous and weighty, ethereal and present, diaphanous and persistent, subtle and sure. A deep pleasure and a delightful wonder to listen to. I listen with prayers that the personal cares that apparently gave rise to the music resolve well. Favorite track: HH.2.

Ur Trommler One of Zach's deepest and most spiritual releases, and that is saying something... There's something about the gravity, the intensity, the deep care of this release that creates an atmosphere of pure healing energy - I hope that he feels it as much as we do... truly remarkable. Favorite track: HH.2.

credits

released April 23, 2026

Time spent in hospital rooms. The weight still unfolding. The uncertain future. More questions than answers. Pieces of my heart, heard through the sounds of HH. For my wife. Shaped by what we are moving through together. An attempt to meet pain with love. Keep going. Try to rest. When can we. Holding each moment close, celebrating it as if it were both our first and our last. Knowing that love, in its truest form, is never measured by grandeur but by the depth of what is shared between two souls. For my Jules. Time never stops. My love can't either.

Written, recorded, and produced by zakè. Mastered at Ambient Mountain House by James Bernard. Photography by zakè. Created in T665. ©℗ 2026 Zakè Drone Recordings. This is ZD-047. Special thanks to my children, AJ, AW, BVW, CB, DH, DS, JB, KS, JC, LH, NT, RAI, RV, TM.

◾️◾️◾️ REVIEW

"American ambient powerhouse zake is back (he never really goes away, to be honest - the man must spend 36 hours a day making music, the amount he releases, yet it's all great. HH is a new album that, from the notes that come with it, we think has been inspired by time spent in hospital rooms. "Pieces of my heart, heard through the sounds of HH. For my wife," says the producer, who adds this is his way of processing some personal pain. Across four pieces, his signature synth layers unfold at a glacial pace. They capture the feeling of being suspended in time, some with a more ominous tone than others, but all beautifully pure.

zake has long mastered the art of go-slow pacing with gradual changes in the density and timbre of his sounds. Here, four extended ambient pieces unfold through slow-moving synth layers and sustained tonal clusters shaped by hospital room stillness on this new one from the eve present ambient don, zake. 'HH.1' opens with low-frequency drones and faint harmonic shifts that hover without a rhythmic anchor. 'HH.2' introduces higher tones with subtle detuning, creating tension. 'HH.3' darkens through thicker layering and reduced harmonic movement while 'HH.4' thins the texture with long decay tails.

They say the best art comes out of adversity, and this is an album that proves it. Another immersive gem."
