Illusion Of Time

“When your lost in the darkness, look for the light.”

Void and Ray — это творческий псевдоним Андрея Алексеева. Настоящий человек-оркестр, Андрей успевает всё: он и композитор, и поэт, и продюсер, и диджей, и шоумен, и дизайнер.

Псевдоним Void and Ray звучит практически как «Void Andrey» (Войд Андрей), но имеет глубокий смысл для самого артиста. По легенде, однажды Андрей вошел в состояние экстатического транса (без каких-либо веществ) и увидел себя лучом света в пустоте, которая была полна других лучей, с радостью и удовольствием летающих вместе в разных направлениях и пересекающихся друг с другом.

Андрей также чувствует внутреннюю энергию пустоты каждый раз, когда у него возникает потребность творить, так что это слово имеет для музыканта как психическое, так и практическое значение.

Андрей говорит на русском, английском, французском и китайском языках. Фонетика, графика, ритм и культура языков вдохновляют его время от времени создавать прекрасные треки на новых языках, как, например, «What a beat» на арабском (хотя некоторые мои друзья, говорящие по-арабски, говорят, что это красивая белиберда 🤣).

Так как не самое творческое прошлое Андрея связано с технологиями и финансами, он ведет шоу под названием «Risk Appetit» на своем YouTube-канале (ссылка ниже). Шоу посвящено нашим отношениям с деньгами и технологиями, а также тому, как найти баланс между творческой и коммерческой сторонами жизни.

Void and Ray is scenic name for Andrey Alekseev. Man in many hats, Andrey does it all: composer, poet, producer, DJ, showman and designer.

Void and Ray phonetically sounds like Void Andrey but has a deep meaning for the artist. The legend tells that once in a while Andrey got to ecstatic trance (without any substance) and saw himself as a ray of light in the void which was full of other rays who enjoyed flying together to various directions intersecting with joy and pleasure. 

Andrey also feels internal void energy each time when there is an urge to create so that word has both psychic and practical meaning to the musician.

Andrey speaks Russian, English, French and Chinese. Language phonetics, graphics, rhythm and culture inspire Andrey to create beautiful tracks in new languages from time to time, like “What a beat” which is in Arabic (but some of my Arab speaking friends say that this poetry is beautiful gibberish 🤣).

As Andrey’s not so creative background is in Technology and Finance, he runs the show called Risk Appetit on his YouTube channel below. The show is about our relationship with money and technology and how to find balance between creative and commercial sides of life.

TREMOR - THE NEW ALBUM - 31.10.25

Pre-order: https://danielavery.ffm.to/tremor-store

Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery returns with a new album and live show, his most ambitious works to date. Channelling every corner of his sound, Tremor is a bold and transportive body of work through euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss. It remains unmistakably Avery, yet dramatically evolved.


With the album Avery has welcomed an inspiring cast of collaborators, including the likes of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (NewDad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yunè pinku, and Cecile Believe. Each artist leaves their indelible mark, yet the record’s true power lies in the communal spirit at its core.

“This is a living and breathing collective,” says Avery. “Since the earliest recordings, Tremor felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through which we could all pass as artists”, he reflects. “It’s the welcoming spirit of acid house with the doors flung open wider still to allow in every influence from my musical journey: the warmth of distortion, the stillness inside intensity, the transcendental beauty of noise... They have always been there in my music but now it feels like those ideas are being transmitted in Technicolor. This is a record for the post-rave comedown kids, the guitar heads and anyone else who wants to come along for the ride. Everyone is welcome.”

Tremor will be released by Avery’s new home of Domino on 31st October.
