The "AuktYon" - one of the few that can be called cult without reservations. The last album - a concert "It Mom" - was published four years ago. It seemed that the group leader Leonid Fedorov recorded in full side-projects: in December, for example, a new album made with a regular partner is planned - famous bassist Vladimir Volkov. It will be called "Beauty." But forget about "AuktYon" Fedorov also: literally, the team returned from the U.S., which recorded new material. On the new album, how and with whom they had to work in the United States Leonid Fyodorov said the "Russian Newsweek" Eugene Kogan - guitarist Marc Ribot, many years of work with Tom Waits. Keyboardist John Medeski from the group Medeski, Martin & Wood - the trio as "the three pillars of the New York downtown music" known. Trumpeter Frank London of The Klezmatics popular. Saxophonist and composer Ned Rothenberg, who put on a par with John Zorn. How could you bring all these people to work on the album? - It just worked and unexpected. In the winter we played at the festival Global Fest in New York, and Frank London, it would listen to us and asked if we try wanted to write this record, because if you want to do this. We have appointed some of the musicians with whom we would like to work. And then the negotiations began because many London only knows personally. It seemed that the group leader Leonid Fedorov fully covered side projects ... - That is, in America, in Russia, there is a lot to do, "a friend?" - Well, roughly speaking, yes. - And that, all agree? - Almost all. For some reason, do not participate in the recording could only John Zorn. And agreed with the other, and they sent our plates, I do not know what - "The Hangover" is probably something else. And then we went to collect. - And all these famous musicians were on the plate just as the executor your ideas? - Of course, the songs were with us, and Ribot, Medeski, London and Rothenberg play our music. And took in every song. - Just a fantasy of some sort. - Yes, the story is fantastic: it all - brilliant musician with a "name". But she liked the stuff, that's all. If they do not like something, if they do not, they would not have consented. - It translates texts? - Often. Medeski and Ribot, frankly, not very interested, and London wanted to know more depth. - How long does it take to go? - Recorded in a week. - No sample? - Samples not with the Americans. And of course we're rehearsing to do something, such as the preparation. - What are the impressions of music with idols? - Yes, damn, what more impressions? It is difficult to say anything concrete. - Worried? - Do I have a different kind of excitement had - know these guys, the Americans to play them, not me, ten times better. They play like no one else can play. But like, all have failed. - I understood that correctly, that on the record, for the first time in many years, the new material? - Yes, absolutely. - Why was such a break? Four, the band "silent." - Well, who knows. I do what I ask myself how I did it. But the new songs for "AUCTION", was released - something gradual, something special was written for the album. - If there is an album? - I do not know, in fact, it should be reduced. I hope that in the spring. In Russia - precise and the American version is currently being negotiated, but not yet known. - Is there any chance that the Russian presentation of the album along with "Auction" will Ribot, Medeski, London and Rothenberg play? - Yes, a very big opportunity. They seem to be interested, they usually enjoyed it - very nepontovye people. Moreover, it is negotiating with them alone concerts. But just talking about it. - There is something going on further cooperation? - Of course not. First you need to see what it all happened. - And you can about your new album to listen, together with Vladimir Volkov? - We recorded the album "Beauty" by Andrew Smurova poems, the poet and artist from Amsterdam Arthur Moleva (author of "Bin Laden", "melt" of - Newsweek), nine songs, and it will be released in December. And what is this album - I do not speak. But platelets are curious as ever.
