Living Room n°58 ~ @optovolokonniy

q. pls introduce yourself

a. as Vlady, I work in cybersecurity. In my non-working hours, I perform under aliases ϙue, dj chlorophyll, am co-curating @biorhythmradio, @ickpakyiv, creating bio installations, and recently formed a project «OO0oϙ0O0O00O» with oa. 

As ϙue, I apply multiple psycho-acoustic techniques to embark a listener on an introspective trip, where two of us seek to explore the concept of ego death and delve into the depths of consciousness through deep listening and self-reflection.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. For the last 1.5 years, my main pursuit has been presenting contemporary Ukrainian cultural and musical heritage in Europe. This mixtape is a logical continuation of Sasha Very’s https://soundcloud.com/cminuss/sasha-very-present-ukraine. The main motif is Ukrainian artists, who witnessed firsthand the preciousness of life and the woe of death. The major part of sound material gathered here is songs, tracks, and compositions created during the 2022-2023 full-scale invasion.


q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. Thinking, appreciating, and developing a sense of care about the joy of “simple” things in your life. 

You may not realise how much your like, comment, Bandcamp purchase, an invitation to make an interview, an invitation to your podcast series, or to record a mix can make an immense difference to someone whose survival and “tomorrow” does not come for granted. Here, I mean any Ukrainian who has not crossed the border since February 24, 2022. 

And if this one-hour overview of the musical landscape sparks within you an interest in Ukrainian underground scene, my goal is accomplished.


q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

a. For the last three months, I had to move places five times, so my living room was always shifting :] 

But I always have my 12-centimeter glass sphere with me. Being an optical filter, it serves as a reminder about the delusional nature of our perception and that experiences are limited — words, visions, smells, touch. Hence, I believe one can only trust their mental images (the language we think and dream in). Which I find funny how easily we, myself included, forget about this basic nature of things. So I carry this physical reminder with me.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)? 

a. There are some. 

A few weeks ago, after a gentle push from our mutual dear friend Frog of Earth, oa and me formed a sound-art duo «ОО0оϙ0О0О00О». Olenka is a muse to me in mysterious ways which I am yet to understand. We are working on songs, remixes and a body-music performance where our brainwaves and body electricity are processed through synths.  

Earlier in June, there was a debut of the OFF-ICKPA stage in Arkaoda Berlin where I played with other Kiiberboreans (s/o to @ecology141): super inter, TIBSLC, and Andriy Kostyukov — coincidentally, the latter two also have released LR mixes (both are strongly recommended to listen next). I worked a lot on this one and planning the next year’s festival edition. 

And since mid-2022, Kharkiv’s @comechelet and I are working on a collab release by exchanging stems via the web. So far, our first finished work has traveled some internet sites — Noods, HÖR, and 3XL. These days, as I am writing answers to this mini-interview, Comechelet is shooting a music video in southern France for our second single. 

That’s it, love u LR peeps. Many hugs.

La nuit dernière, j’ai rêvé d’aujourd’hui.Tu riais si fort en buvant tes larmes. Nul ne sait ce que cache ton écrin. Tu ne regardes plus jamais le ciel, mais ton âme en est peuplée. La tête sous l’eau, comme une noyade ou un apaisement.Aujourd’hui, j’en suis sûre : je vais rêver de la nuit dernière.
