"Ekletnika": the fight with the sound of the opening and ethnic

Festival "Ekletnika" on 21 January would have kept in the "Club at Brest" could not be detected better by the fact that the ethnic music is extremely diverse. It could not prevent Moscow Frost, still problems with sound, no obvious gaps in the organization of the concert. With the weather, everything is clear: it can not be changed. Impact on the operation would be much easier no time at all festival-goers at the entrance to the club stand. In a statement at the time, a concert could not be started on time and students could not only keep warm and hot cocktails, but also unsuspecting witness to lengthy hardware settings. And worthy in every way to achieve sound and not primarily by the speech of the "Volga" hit. Despite the technical problems, "Volga" worthily opened the festival. Old Russian Vedic motifs detonation increasing noise and minimalist electronic - perhaps the best thing to happen to the Russian ethnic scene in recent years - plunged into the atmosphere of the psychedelic hall of silence. And. During sound than settling the balance between high and low frequencies, again singing Angela Manukyan riot of colors and lures on neutral territory of human consciousness The reality of the "Club of Brest" only came with the beginning of the choruses with the ironic title "Naehovichi." Cheerful Jewish motifs in the performance of "Naehovichey" in one go to "Ekletniku" to make in fiery dance. Honest dance, full of life and fun, not indifferent audiences: otherwise how else can you explain the fact that at least half of the hall was suddenly in the Jewish roots. Lead singer of happy dance along with the audience joking and fooling around in every way. "Of course, we will burn, - he replied to a question about creative plans NEWSmusic.ru group -. Because it's fun," was the next person from Minsk festival the worst team. Group "Nagual." With the performance numbers with the open "mystical plumbing pipe" or, more simply, a plastic tube that when they are in the air, a distinctive ethnic hum Unfortunately, not too strong, and sometimes openly attracted speech "nagual" sound in "The Club at Brest" no longer meet the requirements of the most modest and tangible headliner of the festival, a group of "Children of Picasso" spent take more than an hour to prepare, and then played simply on the principle of volume. Tighten the adjustment is not going to benefit the general concept, because if it was not for long pauses between the performances, the 11-hour festival a holistic performance instead. The long-awaited "Stupid White" would play more songs would not have crumpled speech "made-hop," not unnoticed concert ethnic cyber-punk would "Titlo." And of course, more people would see the whole of the theater performance of "Kaftan laugh." - "Ekletnika" will grow and develop - promised to stage the festival organizer Maxim Zlotnikov. - Opens a welcome site, the program is not only music, but also movies, theater. All of this just fine, because the extent of "Ekletniki" every time, and under the auspices of the Festival to those teams that are expected and loved it. It remains only this error, the correct permanently become a blot on the landscape, whether audio, organization, or overly talkative crowd. Sergei Shub, NEWSmusic.ru photo of the author.
