And its leader Vasily noise and many critics called the most important conceptualist Russian rock. However, there is noise, is home to nearly 20 years returned to the U.S. and only at the end of 2008, now defends the art content, not the form, the often bizarre witch playing on his numerous albums. After a concert at Club Mezzoforte, whose program of mainly the hits of the 80's composed and so-called "Moscow nyuveyv", "Showbiz News NEWSmusic.ru» interview with Vasily Shumov about contemporary music, new technology and design, "Content" which has become a great creative act. Vasily Noise - The idea of the project came to me that night, from 2008 to 2009. I have just returned to Russia from the United States and did not see 20 years or all of these TV "Christmas lights" in Moscow. All channels were almost the same. And I realized that I do not know most of the players, because they are all some of these new generations. But I thought that since they show here, these rating programs, so that they now have some weight on the Russian stage. And then on the Old New Year to all repeats. I looked back and realized that all of this in one word: inanity. Isms "of the 20th century were all some sort of" "Dada, Futurism, abstract, solid play with the form, and, in my opinion, he has already achieved some of its logical limit this sum postmodernism, which is more and more.. active loops everything already in the art. And it's time content. "There joke, dance, sing something, throw confetti at each other, but in all this there is no content And I was talking to a reporter shortly after the new year, and he asked me for my predictions: What will happen with the technology in the near future? And in a conversation that I have perhaps unconsciously formulated what felt emotion on New Year's night. I think that the near future will be on the art of the content, not the form of concentrate. Because of the 20 Century were all somewhat "isms": Dada, Futurism, abstract, solid play with the form. And, in my opinion, he has already achieved some of its logical limit. This sum postmodernism, which is more and more active grinding everything. Already in the Arts And it is time the content. I thought, and decided what I'm talking about, just leave me something even be able to say, "Here is an example of content". So I came up with an album in the form of collaboration with other musicians around me in spirit. I talked to the guys who had known since the 80's, she responded willingly, I learned new members. And gradually it began to be more concrete forms. Now it is ready to ride, it is in production. The main condition that all the songs were new, especially for the "content" was. For the group "echo Moo" and Dmitry Shagin I wrote the song, in an alliance with a group of "beard" I have the text, and they made music. Misha Borzykina contrary - I wrote the music, he did text. We already have an idea, in order, first to make the next trip, as well as multimedia and CD with the appropriate content and interactive elements of art, etc. - So, what is the basic idea behind this work? What should ideally understand or feel man? - I came up with a slogan for the job, "Fill the content of the work and life." When you begin to fill try creative content, then it will spread to the surrounding life, then, and to improve the quality of life. However, I would like to see the album "Content" was in the form of everything from kindergarten and ends with a nursing home - but do not think that has been from the perspective of the entire contents told in art for a long time? Timeless themes: life, death, love, loneliness, hatred. And the development of art - this is the development of forms and means of expression? - In the 60s, these "flakses" were - a group of creative people from the American avant-garde, whose concept was, "I have nothing to say, but I do speak." And curious, that's the concept "flakses" purely a conceptual art, has! Become a way of life in our society to date The "content" focused on the Russian mentality. When I told his fellow musicians from the 80s about the project was that they are all very well understood. What I mean by my "content"? I thought at one point: what if I told you about the same familiar musicians in Los Angeles? They would simply not have understood me. Because in English, even words that mean the same thing, no. It means the word otherwise. "What if I told you about the same familiar musicians in Los Angeles, you would not get it because I have in English, and words that mean the same thing, no." Mean - By the way, can not wait to ask ... What prompted you to move to the beginning of the 90s in the USA, and that with you? - It is necessary to start, when I was there ... In the late 80's (89-90 years) in Moscow, there is a situation that I realized: I'm just here to do nothing. It was already sunset perestroika began here this wild Russian capitalism, chaos, and many of my friends, musicians, friends, somehow disappeared into the crucible. The people with whom I spoke on pure poetry, for example, began to open up to grill, to declare that "tired Soviet poverty", etc. And I was interested, in fact, the older I got, the more exclusively to contemporary art. I wanted to get to know it better. Even more so, by the time began to appear the first personal computers. More on the album "Made in Paris" - each in Paris, I saw in the studio computer "Mac", which took place at the reception. And I looked at him, and somehow intuitively immediately clear that it is the future! And then I was in Los Angeles, I saw how it works, and since I already had a very good experience recording their own albums, I was just there to work in the studio, and interest in people, as the Computer use in the studio. - The Americans have a fundamentally different approach to writing music? - Oh, yeah. She invented it - that is, they have no other approach, and the right one. I, for example, met with a very professional guitarist, studio musician, and began to question him, "What kind of guitar effects do you use?" Such things, because at this time most of them had five or six guitar pedals. And he said: "I do not use it at all!". Since all of the guitarist in the fingers, and the amplifier. There is a clear channel and fuzz - and he only. The rest, he says - Delay, Flanger - it does not matter. I somehow scratched his head and then thought ... (Laughs) And then I did the first computer "Macintosh-2" color monitor. In Los Angeles, is an institution, it is the California Institute of the Art, Art Institute of Chicago - very creative laboratory. I realized that I should try to get there. If the music department has a specialty: "a composition with the new media." I applied and was accepted. I studied for three years. Very interesting sessions. For example, the class was: a man lying on his back, he wore a special ring on his head, was the wiring of the sensor and the noise in the brain with special equipment converted into sound. But it is in America - the vanguard of the '60s, that is, at the moment is not something progressive, but a story. Where he taught American Pioneer Electronics Norton Saturday. With a bias in the experimental avant-garde of this facility ... In '98 I graduated from this institution, and just continue to do everything. Homemade pretty decent studio. And recorded. And the Americans have played with me, and the guys from Moscow came to me ... - Who are tsentroboratory if I correctly? - That's right. When I graduated from college and got a lot of things, for me it was clear that all of these new media quickly move to the Internet. Considering all this, I thought, how can record albums? And I have a website with a large server. And it was the place of the information that those who wish may participate in the preparation of my compositions. And I have the whole album: As a producer and writer expressed some suggestions, and people have done so at a distance via the Internet. Then I was sent. Then there was no release, and they. Just sent the tracks as an attachment in an e-mail, sometimes in parts And the album "Plastikozamenitel" was recorded in this way, it came in 2000. It was the first such experience, and then experiments with tsentroboratorami continued on other albums. We had a new word, and I called the people who were connected, tsentroboratorami. In analogy to the staff employees. - It was the people from different countries? - People with access to the Internet. Many of which I do not even know who he is and where he is. If a man tells me that he is a man of Germany - how can I check and is it necessary? In addition to his speech on some yahoo, I do not know ... - What has developed in America, your alliance with Jeanne Aguzarovoj? - Well knew that we still in Moscow. She even went to some underground gigs "Center", it was long ago, before their involvement in the "Bravo". And ... Los Angeles in the early 90s, I had a few friends Russian guys who were once introduced on the local Russian community. One of them said, "You know, come Aguzarova." I went and met with her. In general, people I did not ask, do not climb into the soul: what you did, why, why? Well, come and join. And then I took a solo album, released under the title "Tectonics" in 1992. What Joan and told. She says: "Here I would also like to participate in the studio, I do not write anything long, record what ... anything I can do to participate in the recording?" I say, "Come on, why not?" She was participating, and while we were recording, the idea to make an album for them. And from the fact that Joan, a special song she did not write, to make the idea of an album of songs, "the center" had. And so there was this album - Nineteen Ninety. - And then somehow have to continue to cooperate? - Yes, we had since I confess, they have not seen. - How the Internet is changing the music world situation, how do you think? Which opened the possibilities? - Unfortunately, the Internet has led to the impoverishment of many musicians. Because music product immediately turns freely on the Internet. Musicians do not write music for free - you put into it. Accordingly, this leads to the fact that many young musicians an album as cheap as possible, try to make as soon as possible. Is not always good quality. But, oddly enough, when the artist receives in such difficult circumstances, sometimes the quality is very good. Paradox. - But at the same time, in the face of the Internet in young musicians seemed to be a great resource for the promotion of his work ... "Unfortunately, the Internet has led to the impoverishment of many musicians because music product immediately turns freely on the Internet, musicians do not write music for free -.. They put into it." - In this respect, yes And therefore something of a record label, like me obsolete. Although I do not think so. Since the label can greatly help the musician - and give something, somehow to the position. And at the level of purely psychological, when the panel is the label, it looks somehow fixed. - How do you relate resources like MySpace, YouTube are possible through them to bring their art, bypassing almost all the obstacles to peace? - This is interesting, but the thing is that these resources still hold multinational corporations that run it their exaggerated some stars to make a policy. These resources so there is some sudden "stars" that no one would know, and they have thousands of hits. The album has not yet arisen, and they enter anywhere on the charts. - I think, in Russia with this honest, because companies are still not recognized those resources. - Apparently, it's only temporary ... Here is another strange phenomenon. Even Andy Warhol said that at the end of each "15 minutes of fame". Now we have this: each - is a star. Here is a profile on MySpace - a star as it positions itself. I even laughed. I have a profile on the blogs that I. Exclusively for the people who I know personally, just to talk with them, if there's no time to live in the kitchen needs I do not have ten thousand friends I have it for different purposes. And come to me because sometimes these messages: "I propose to be a fan of my band." Always a star - that MySpace, the Facebook is. Look at how people communicate. (Parodies squeaky voice) "Rate my new picture." "The color of my shirt, my mustache - how are they?" And - a lot of comments. "I have a toothache", "I want milk" - and it starts a discussion. And if you write something that requires at least a minimum of mental exertion - zero comments, mostly .. (Laughs) Everyone is now a star! And then someone offers you become a fan, and you do not even know who it is! Vladimir Preobrazhensky, "News Showbiz NEWSmusic.ru» Photos - website
