"Vedan Kolod": Playing the idea of how they were able to play our ancestors!

Soloist Slavonic ethno band "Vedan Kolod" Tatiana Naryshkin told over a period of five years, the group's European tour and a new album, the wait seems long in coming. - "Vedan Kolod" recently celebrated its fifth birthday. Is that a lot for you? - Yes, we have five. In terms of teams that have 20 - 30 years we are still very young. But when you consider that the population and ethnic trends in Russia have fully developed only a few years ago, the interest in them to appear last five to eight years, and in Siberia it is usually came up to mass audiences very late. .. Even though that in Siberia -. A powerful tradition of indigenous peoples - the Altai, Khakassia, and it was the first traditional music, in addition to Russian folklore, which we have heard I can say that the five-year period - not too little. "Tribes" in 2005, "The Evil Dead" in 2007 and "Wolf Trail" in 2008: We have released three full licensed music. Everyone is waiting for the new album, but we started to visit. Year and a half we will not stop working on new material ... Those who went to the shows - heard the new songs. Rarely able to get into the studio, and they find time and money. Currently working at once on three new projects, which will be published very much hope in the near future. Five years ago, when we started to play in his home town of Krasnoyarsk, the audience (and folklorists in particular) are very surprised to see how we combine the material with folk instruments. Horn, harp, hurdy-gurdy - all were equally exotic as Western instruments. And now we are all more common folk groups to use the Jew's harp, horns and organ. This is good. For five years we have even changed, changed the direction of music. If in the first year, we were pagans, played a Pagan-Folk, which is many to be an authentic reason, it now increases the limit, and we are busy in Russian music of the Middle Ages, from dawn to dusk. This is our (as we always emphasize) The idea that how ... by our ancestors from the data archaeologists, folklorists, historians, and so on That's our play will be (as we always emphasize) the idea that, as our ancestors could be played, from the data of archaeologists, folklorists, historians, and so on ... - As mentioned earlier birthday? Happily? - Oh, yes! We celebrated the fifth anniversary with a concert in Moscow at the cultural center "house". The result was a mini-festival with groups "Turbodzen" (Moscow), "Alatyr" (Krasnodar), "White Stone" (Moscow), and several solo artists - Alex Kravchenko, Anastasia and Maria Arkhipova Ovcharenko of the band "Arkona ". Was the press, we sang some songs together made especially for this concert. In May we will be on a tour in honor of the fifth anniversary of this going as long as we are under the age of six years,! If Krasnoyarsk, Barnaul, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Omsk, Perm, Perm region. We were very close call at the Ural, Chelyabinsk, but we'll get there, hopefully in the fall. - They are constantly involved in collections. Where such an interest to them? "Much more interesting to buy a collection of strange folk teams, and find a good one you like, do not buy at the festival random album by an unknown group Since my childhood I like the collections." - I'm always on the other amazed. Why is it that people have no interest to collectors? In my opinion, much more interesting to buy a collection of strange folk and find a good team that you like, do not buy randomly at the festival album by an unknown group. Since my childhood I like the collection! The last album, in which we participated - this edition of the cultural fund "Scythian horn" - ".. Slavs Second Edition" is a collection of He arrived a few days ago. It entered our song "On the feast Kupala" with the group Perm "Yaros." They - great guys, but we do not like this track, the quality of the recording. It is strange that the fund started on the album it up I think that the new version of the song that we sing now - much more interesting and more hits. At least in the reaction of the audience. - According to the latest concerts, you have changed the composition of the group? - Yes, we're on tour together. But this is not due to the fact that we have radically changed the composition or have we met someone from the group, and the fact that life goes on. Our youngest member Pauline Fox, which came to us in the group has grown to 11. She graduated from high school, attended the University in Krasnoyarsk, and can not go in the first year in the winter for two or three months in Europe or Moscow. - How do you feel about the movement of reconstruction? - A much loved and very historical reconstruction and re-enactment - many young people in the activity. Gradually begins to go on such a feast. Gradually changing costumes. But anyway, we are first and foremost the lack with music, not for a living, all hands. Best festival reconstruction those to which we have visited - is "Gorodetsky Promenade" where we were last year. Recommended. And Festival of medieval culture in Germany. Well, there are lots of offers, but not all of us are satisfied. - The percentage of personal rights, copyrights creativity possible in order to stay within the "historicity" and style at the same time? How do you manage to combine it? - Without creativity there is no life. This - central to everything. Like it not, to say confident - it could be, and this is - definitely not. "The people in the village in Russia not play tambourine." Played! And I still play! "In old Russia was not the wooden comb." What is this nonsense? It still exists. And if something does not come to our time - it does not mean that people will not experiment then. Personal creativity must always be, without this technique is not possible. Grandmother when they sing, they used to sing differently. Unfortunately, this medieval music has not developed in Russia, and it is still very controversial. - When will the new album? - We hope that it will be published in May, an album of duets - songs and music from our repertoire, recorded with other groups. It turns out very interesting, from the rare Siberian folk to folk songs in rock processing. - How often is "Vedan Kolod" acts in Moscow? - In Moscow, recently tried to perform 2-3 times a year. Traditionally, we are trying to celebrate his birthday in February, is the Autumn Festival "Scythian horn" play or else, where we were invited. I think that's enough. - What is the most unusual happened to you last year? - We have escaped abroad! I say "broke" because we had so many offers for festivals around the world were invited to the United States permanently. But by the credit crisis, and all the festivals, which is by invitation only local team that wrote very sorry. Reading these letters, had his hands, to be honest. But at least at the last minute invited two huge festival headliner, and then we will get a new life as. In the Czech Republic are the most vivid memories - a quick tour of Prague with the Norwegian Ambassador to the Czech Republic. It was magical! He fed us biscuits its production and said he often hears our band. Invited to Norway. Travel to Ukraine could write a script style Kusturica, this can be a long story! In Germany, we spent the night in the Mongolian yurt on the estate by our friend Herbert. At night, the festival was only covered by these torches and live fire in a large amount. Together with the Faun performed, In Extremo and many others. This is a very forward with the development. From Russia were just us. We were approached and looked at us like mammoths were, we are from Siberia! And after the show tries in broken Russian to confess our love. It was very cool. There were people who came into our lives, especially from Greece and Sweden. At the first concert in front of the stage stood a man 20, on the second day - for 200 And on the third gathered so many people on the big stage, we were happy. "We were approached and looked at us like mammoths were, we are in Siberia and after the show tries in broken Russian, confess our love!" - Now have run winter tour, they were long. Where were they? Saw? - Were in Krasnodar, Kazan, Tver, Pskov, St. Petersburg, Troitsk, Moscow. Recording the new songs, participated in several festivals, including abroad. - Each album you have is different, even in instrumental terms. Is it true that for every album you new tools, so do not run then, the repertoire, because the tool is changed? - I would not say that we are completely changing the tools ... We grow, mature instruments. Valery, my husband perfected it. So, on the first two albums we use Rebeck - the third tone, the reconstruction of the twelfth century. Replaced by harp, horn, bagpipes, harp (three of them just broke concerts), tambourine. But the program is changing and our mood - sometimes very tragic repertoire, difficult, and sometimes - fight or provocative. Yes, yes, we know how to provoke and fun. Some of the songs come, others go. If draw five consecutive shows, you realize disadvantages not build the program and try to put in between songs instrumental voice in frustration. And that! Indeed, I remember the first concert we were singing without instrumental tracks and a half to two hours, and then we carried on a stretcher from the scene A new bagpipes, harp new whistled, Pskov harp and a very large drum: On future albums are several new tools. - Do you personally have a favorite song from the repertoire of "Vedan Kolod"? - All. They all went through my soul. - Foreigners understand what you are singing? - Judging by the number of reviews - yes! - How to look at the background of European, Russian leaders? - It's hard to say how. It is better to sound friendly sound engineers, although depending on the site. But the most important difference - in relation to the musicians. We often hear - the musicians at the festival (the same reconstruction) performed for the food industry. How so historically. But, excuse me, in the middle ages should drink musician was, food, sleep, and even pay your way to your next vacation in another city. So many are now working. You can play in Europe, the wheels in the area, and the people take them, so the money. Often more than the drive is worth it! And we do, see, admire, and then download them from the Internet. That's what hurts. There are medieval festivals go, hear, see. Thousands and thousands of people and tourists! And we better get drunk. I do not know what it entails. Perhaps the habit of neglecting its history and culture ... Alexander Karnaukh for "show business news NEWSmusic.ru»
