Void Vision sounds like the ghost of a discotheque. The music is built on the sturdy, rhythmic bones of vintage hardware, featuring drum machine patterns that feel both mechanical and strangely alive. Over these skeletal foundations, Shari Vari layers thick, buzzing analog synthesizers that provide a sense of warmth even when the melodies are cold and detached.
What makes the project distinctive is the tension between the precision of the electronics and the vulnerability of the vocals. Unlike many of her contemporaries who lean into harsh industrial noise, Vari maintains a pop sensibility that makes the gloom feel inviting. The production often carries a dusty, tape-saturated quality that suggests these songs were unearthed from a forgotten archive rather than recorded in a modern studio.
Start with the album Sub Rosa. It is the definitive statement of the Void Vision sound, balancing club-ready pulses with introspective, atmospheric tracks that reward close listening. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the intersection of 80s nostalgia and modern underground electronics.
