Vlady Che (b. 1995) is a classically trained musician from Kyïv, Ukraine, whose individual musical path was initiated in 2016 by repudiating the strictness of conservative music frames. While performing under a set of aliases — ϙue, dj chlorophyll, Vlady is currently a part of the following formations:
- Biorhythm (est. 2019, UA): a multidisciplinary art collective and psychoacoustics research lab
- In 2022, joined Bassiani (GE) team in its ICKPA festival offspring, where he curates and programs the festival’s stage of avant-garde electronics
- OO0oϙ0O0O00O (est. 2023, PT): post-ambient, neo-folk duo with o-a on vocals
- VIRA | dd/mm/yy (est. 2024, PT): action platform, educational & charity events series in support of Ukraine’s resistance
- Sounds Afield (est. 2025, EU): an Erasmus+ project popularising field recording practices
ϙue, being the main solo project, carries a spiritually-driven approach, touching upon the concept of ego death and delving into the depths of consciousness through deep listening and human self-reflection.
Each composition unfolds as a meticulously crafted sonic blanket — a vessel for profound exploration of an individual’s prenatal period, dealing with human trauma, transporting to a (safe) harbour of a primordial soundscape. In this space, sound balances vulnerability and strength, sitting between the natural and artificial — comforting with the coldness of intimacy and the vastness of self-awareness.
Over the years, his creative collaborations spanned cultural curation and multidisciplinary, mixed-media projects. The sound art and music collaborations include artists like Poly Chain, Sestry Feldman, Volodymyr Gnatenko, djsnork, usof, stone (f.k.a. Mistareez), Comechelet.
In early 2025, Vlady issued a Post-Ambient Manifesto, reflecting on the state of beatless music in the 21st century.
