Biography


electronic composer ◦ sound curator ◦ SPATIAL TINKERER  

«the enigmatic electricity of everything alive»
«hazy melodies in a stupendous cold intimacy»
«maestro of massive minimalism»



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): an organisation working with sound, body, and technology to address ecological and social injustices through participatory, trauma-attuned, and ecological artistic practices
  • 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): educational project popularising field recordings’ therapeutic potential among social workers in war-affected areas

ϙue, being his main solo project, carries a spiritually-driven approach, touching upon the concept of ego death and probing the depths of consciousness through deep listening and human self-reflection.  
Works of ϙue unfold 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, combining comfort from coldness of intimacy and the vastness of self-awareness.


Over the years, his creative collaborations spanned cultural curation and multimodal, mixed-media projects. The sound art and music collaborations include artists like Poly Chain, Xenia Reaper, Sestry Feldman, Volodymyr Gnatenko, equii, dj snork, 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.
