Cult of Zir

cult of zir is the primary auditory endeavour of portland-based artist nolon ashley, a performer whose applications and affiliations span a diverse spectrum, ranging from the accessible to the ineffible.

cult of zir’s sound depends heavily on abstract electronic soundscapes and textures countered with resonant melodic sequences, attempting a balance between intensity and sensitivity. a game-rule of intent is held in high priority, applied to a sonic medium often deliberately undisciplined.

in the barbarous tongue of the angels, “zir” translates to “i am.” such is described by dr. john dee and sir edward kelly, who pioneered the territory of enochian magick, a system of communication with spirit representatives of the divine.
