Ilya Semashkevich is a Belarusian-Polish composer, sound engineer, and multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Brest. His practice merges electronic and acoustic composition, live performance, improvisation, and visual expression. With a background in jazz, sound production, and experimental music, he works across genres such as ambient, idm, trance, house, and contemporary classical. His approach treats sound as both structure and form, a tool for perception, memory, and artistic thinking. Influenced by lo-fi aesthetics, minimalism, and sonic spatiality, Semashkevich explores the concept of “Imaginative Mixing”, aural equivalents of visual composition.

Ilya had to say the following about this live-recording: "For me, this live performance became a release of accumulated thoughts about home life and the art of “dirty listening.”
Life runs, flows, flies, crawls, stands still.
And I sit, walk, float, watch.
In hot or frosty, gray or yellow days - coziness makes me stronger.
Listening to this recording on a proper sound system will, of course, be great, but even through your phone speakers, you won’t lose its essence."

All reposts are mixes that I have actually listened to myself.

Deep Space Series is a podcast platform that focuses on the deeper spectrum of electronic music. A carefully curated series where artists from all corners of the globe can express themselves without limitations in regards to music genres.

The only thing these artists have in common is the unconditional love for deep, psychedelic space music.

From slow ambient to (s)pacey techno and everything in between.

Fripon – avatar sonore du trickster, cet esprit joueur et insaisissable qui traverse les mythes et les mondes. À la fois passeur et perturbateur, il défie les frontières, bouscule les certitudes et ouvre des brèches vers l’inconnu. 

Sa palette sonore deep & trippy dépeint une cartographie du voyage intérieur, un labyrinthe d'ambiances et de textures mouvantes où chaque détour révèle une nouvelle facette du réel. Entre ombre et lumière, chaos et harmonie, Fripon DVN oscille entre paysages hypnotiques et narratifs, invitant à l’abandon et à l’exploration.

Perturbateur bienveillant, il bouscule à dessein le chemin de l’écoute, déroutant les repères pour mieux révéler l’inattendu. Joueur d’équilibres fragiles, il ouvre la porte d’un jardin et l’instant d’après celle de la voûte céleste. Il tisse des rythmes comme des mirages, entre pulsion et contemplation, Fripon DVN compose une alchimie sonore qui efface la frontière entre le réel et l’imaginaire, guidant ceux qui l’écoutent vers des horizons intérieurs insoupçonnés.
