ASHLAND RISTOFF IS A SELF-TAUGHT AUDIO-VISUAL ARTIST OPERATING OUT OF NYC THROUGH VARIOUS EXPRESSIONS OF CREATIVE ENERGY SUCH AS PERFUMERY, SCULPTURE, METALWORKING AND GARMENT DESIGN WITH A FOCUS ON LEATHER, ALONG WITH AUDIO PRODUCTION AND LIVE PERFORMANCE.

THEY MAINTAIN A DEEPLY INSTINCTUAL APPROACH WITHIN THEIR CRAFT ALTHOUGH DEFINED BY ELABORATE MODIFICATION THROUGH SOURCING RECORDED MATERIAL IN A NON-LINEAR METHOD. RECORDINGS ARE COLLECTED OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS, MONTHS OR YEARS AT A TIME, TO CONSTRUCT A RATHER INTRICATE BODY OF WORK WHICH REFLECTS ON ITS OWN PROCESS OF PAST SELF-DISCOVERY WHILE MAINTAINING A STEADY SENSE OF WHERE IT STANDS DURING THE PRESENT TIME.

low entropy: This is a track I planned to do for 27 years...
Back at age 16, when I had just begun producing, I envisioned doing an oversize track with a runtime of an hour.
But I wanted to avoid the three most common ways to do this:

1. Making a monotonous "drone"-like track with little and slow changes

2. Making a continuous live-jam

3. Making a "megamix" type of track where a succession of mini-tracks fade into each other.

What I wanted to do instead was to create a track with a complex and complicated super-structure. Where themes and sequences are introduced, broken apart, re-called, intermingled...
Where, for example, moments of the first minutes can reappear 40 minutes later, but changed, layered with other elements...
With total chaos but also steady, straight elements...

An ever-changing meta-morphosis and hyper-architecture.

I failed to do this "gigantic" project at age 16.
But slowly, over the years, I gained and collected the necessary abilities and remaining ideas to work on such a task.

And here it is!

SESSION_LOW JOURNEY [2023-12-10]

The second offering from the Abyss is a labyrinthine journey drawn from the kaleidoscopic mind of Te Whanganui-a-Tara–based artist 𝐈𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐚.

Within Aotearoa’s psychedelic circles, Ikona needs little introduction. A steadfast vessel of sound with a vision wholly his own. Master of sound design, modular synthesis, and live performance, he’s inscribed his name deep upon the walls of the scene.

We welcome 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 — a descent into the labyrinth, its corridors lined with winding rhythms and shifting textures, each track a prismatic spiral of sound, standing clear testament to Ikona’s singular voice.
