It is not a jazz release in the usual sense: the music leans toward ambient and electroacoustics, yet retains its improvisational nature.
Each composition is born in the moment of performance,
turning the very act of sound-making
into an artistic statement.
The Process is an album created by Igor Yakovenko in collaboration with producer and DJ Alik Khristoforidi.

It is not a jazz release in the usual sense: the music leans toward ambient and electroacoustics, yet retains its improvisational nature.
Each composition is born in the moment of performance, turning the very act of sound-making into an artistic statement.
The title reflects the essence of the project: the music unfolds as an endless flow, with neither beginning nor end. In concerts, the material lasted for hours without interruption, while listeners could enter and leave at any moment, shaping their own unique experience.
This principle remains present in the recording. The album works as an open structure that can be played in fragments or as a whole, each time offering a new perspective.
The soundscape is built on loops derived from Yakovenko’s piano parts, processed by Khristoforidi. These transform into noises, drones, glitches, and ambient textures, while still preserving their connection to a live source. The result is music that is both minimalist and rich in detail: it can function as a subtle background or demand close attention, drawing the listener into an absorbing process.
