vaghy teams up with Ohnody for ‘When The Night Falls’
Creative modern classical composer vaghy has released a new single ‘When The Night Falls’ featuring interdisciplinary artist Ohnody, alongside a music video on 11 October 2024, via Théque Records. The track and video premiered with esteemed publication METAL Magazine. This colossal collaboration was supported by the National Cultural Fund of Hungary. Based in Budapest, Hungary vaghy has had an illustrious career so far, with his music receiving plays on Worldwide FM, KEXP and Ibiza Sonica Radio. He’s also garnered the attention of Decoded Magazine, FAZE Mag, Son Of Marketing and Recorder.hu.
Tamás Vághy started playing piano at 6-years-old and is classically trained in piano. Under the vaghy moniker, he shifted directions, arranging piano, synths and vintage instruments into serene symphonies. He organised Piano Day in Budapest, where he played alongside Lubomyr Melnyk at the Müpa, formerly known as the Palace of Arts. Drawing influence from Keith Jarrett’s album The Köln Concert, he creates music comparable to the likes of Björk, AURORA and Laura Marling.
Ohnody is the solo project of Budapest-based artist Dori Hegyi, who merges visual art and poetry with delicate and emotively-driven vocals. Hegyi was the first ambassador of Hungary’s Spotify Equal campaign in 2023. Ohnody has also received the prestigious Artisjus Award by the Hungarian Authors’ Rights Society for her exceptional songwriting ability. She boasts over 1 million Spotify streams on her single ‘Hideg’, and was the recipient of a Golden Record in Hungary.
‘When The Night Falls’ was produced by vaghy and Ohnody, mixed and mastered by Ferenc Stámusz (Stamusic.Studios Budapest), with songwriting credits going to Ohnody. It’s a masterfully composed offering, as vaghy showcases his deft piano skills. The track opens with a supple, yet poignant piano melody which sets the stage for Ohnody’s succulent vocals. It’s deeply moving, with an air of grief and renewal throughout, emphasised by subtle electronic music effects. The music video parallels this duality, featuring a breathtaking performance by a dancer in an empty home, while alternating between shots inside the home and outdoors, as the sun begins to fade during twilight.
