Though Aigi long history. graduated music school named Ippolitov-Ivanov, ensemble "4'33" "was founded in 1994 and named after, of course, the famous concept of silence John Cage. But the big breakthrough came with her "Land of the Deaf" - and then began to happen all that began to spin. Aigi and his band became a cult among progressive intellectual youth began gathering halls with excellent public. Then came the collaboration with relevant global actors - Pierre Bastien, Dietmar Bonnen, Namgar, Mina Agossi, Yan Tiersen ... Alex Alex Aigi Aigi parallel was perhaps the most popular and award-winning film composer in Russia. Soundtracks for the films "The Lover" and "My stepbrother Frankenstein" V.Todorovskogo, "Retro threesome" P.Todorovskogo, "Ragin 'K.Serebrennikova," The Fall of the Empire "V.Hotinenko" Sleuth Putilin "S.Gazarova "Wild Field" M.Kalatozishvili. Aigi In 2008 nearly put a record by all three major Russian film prize "Kinotavr", "Golden Eagle" and "Nike" for the best music for the film! And all this without the most active in the film in France, where he currently lives Aigi - and when dozens of bands and music for theater productions ... If this activity group "4'33" "inevitably pushed into the background, but the concert was done regularly, and. the former sold. Last Album Mix (with Mina Agossi) was published in 2003. Nine years ago! With the present pace of life - almost the last century. And on 30 May in KC "House" presentation of the album happened Alexei Aigi and "4'33" "-." Hard Disc "Alexey Aigi and 4'33" - Hard Disc - Do you have a successful concert history, clubs are always full. Why there is such a break in the release of albums - much in nine years? - A few reasons. There have been many film roles, then the music was written for a long time, then, when we started writing, there were different challenges - from employment to employment studio musician ... wrote at Mosfilm, the orchestral studio, it is also necessary to get through ... But I'm surprised that it lasted nine years, it seemed, it was recently. Although some came over the years - such as live album Live @ Loft in 2005. - I thought your music and the music itself, "4'33" "rather complement each other out to be prevented - .. No, did not disturb any time now, not just a few years, domestic demand since the last album. Mix -. By the way, you and the soundtracks such diverse films in style ... What is the criterion of choice with which to work - a criterion like - not like .. Everything else is secondary ... - Thus, it turns out that the music you already ordered after the shooting - basically yes .. In Russia rarely under the scenario from the last week of this work -. approach "Dostoevsky" Vladimir Khotinenko and "Horde" Andrei Proshkin France tighter, try before negotiating the shooting -. particularly interesting about "Dostoevsky," of course. As formulated Khotinenko what he wants from the music on such a difficult topic? Correlated with whether or not the future of Russian classical music soundtrack? - With Khotinenko I worked, so it was not that hard. He trusts me somehow. Before shooting him, to hear what style will be the main theme. Retell in your own words the director wants, is not so simple - not as graceful as his work. So I prefer not ... In general, after the main topics were ready the rest of the work I've done on your own. Even down to the series, finishing with what is needed and so on. We wrote all the band series, which is pretty rare in our television is usually cut a number of issues and to the quick. Russian classics in my mind, I keep not explicitly, but in the orchestration, traces of, say, Peter Ilyich available. - Musica Viva Orchestra and cinematography n / a Fiddle - In recent years you have with two main orchestras. Why did you decide to take on a hard disc Musica Viva? - The orchestra film we are working on large symphonic soundtracks. A disc needs a relatively small orchestra Musica Viva was so perfectly. Beside them I behave, the people there are young and I am pleased with him. I'm not a real welding, ugh, conductor. - Well, do not be modest. After all, the orchestration of the album have you do? - Well, yes, I always am. All orchestration for symphony orchestra - to. But I must say that all musicians "4'33" "always thinking of his own party, the solos on the disc - even their job -. Fixed In a press release, the album that includes the disc in the past decade. Was there a single concept album released, or to not "sour"? - No, we're not mad. Selected was the best, maybe others will remain only in concert form. The concept of a drive is there, but there are so thin to me. The connection between different types of music, so they do not vyskazhesh - Maybe, somehow connects meaning album title Hard Disc? - Well, the title - that's more than anything else ... - The burden of existence? Or irony to mp3? - Yes, all at once ... - I have not heard the album yet, but already on the Internet, the route (only mp3) Written. Following the recent philosophical and quite difficult to comprehend music, as if you go positive again? To style "Tango guinea pigs", to always cheer at the concerts? - Not if you're talking about a site "billboards", she chose the most positive track. The album is not about that. - That there is no hope for the positive? I somehow feel that waiting for the educated youth, hipsters, in fact, on something that you just like that. - Oh, I do not know what is waiting for us to educate young people. But the last program, we have the "drama" of all. Positive - later. - There are names to which you are targeting? Generally people music you hear? - I think that the time has come, so that all possible on each. But I'm especially in the past does not pay close attention to trends. Other people listen to music almost does not even ... - Who or speak - with Bashmet, Kogan, nothing - all complain about the lack of new composers. And you would not want to academic music back, perhaps in large forms? - Now I do not need to write a great need "academic". Will - I'll do something. I have the first "Bow singing" finished with texts from my father, the music, by the way belongs to the more academic direction. Complaints about the actors I can say nothing - really want, it would be the composer for it. I, for example, asked Alex Goribol to write for piano and orchestra, and I wrote to him on purpose. An important form of hard to write "on the table" without order. - How do you see the future of "4'33" "see - Oh, the group is 18 years old in a few days I have been thinking about the future, it never While there are a pleasure to play -.!
