about

With Ein Sof — which translates to 'there is no end' — Itzhak Ventura has created a mysterious, slowly-unfolding album pairing his fluttering ney with an ambient-electronic soundbath from producer/musician Yuvi “Rejoicer” Havkin. The record, out on Tel Aviv’s iconic Raw Tapes, pushes the boundaries of the label’s already-experimental, genre-blurring roster. Ventura and Havkin converged in the studio in February, 2023, and immediately found their spark. The 10 tracks of Ein Sof pay homage to the classical tradition of the ney while adding electronic flourishes that help these recordings transcend anything that’s come before. Ventura created this album to speak to the soul: “I want people to feel the connection of heart and spirit. The ney itself is a reed cut from its source; this sound reflects how we are also separated from the divine. And these songs bring us closer to unity.”
