Sergei Filatov: Grandma in the villages do not sing, they play. This is jazz!

In anticipation of the "Ethnosphera" with absolutely phenomenal membership from Shiklopera Bazurova of "Midsummer" Ivan Smirnov, founder and ideologist of the festival Sergei Filatov said he thinks about the state of the "populist" Education in Russia. The two-day festival "Ethnosphera" at "Alma Mater" (formerly "Jazz Town") held on October 15 to 16, and is perhaps the most representative to participate in the local festivals of the country, and certainly the most stars for the entire nine-year history of festivals. The first day is Andrey Kotov (Ensemble "Sirin"), Arkady Shilkloper, "Organic Trio", "Volga", "folk-time", Boris Bazurov, Sergei Starostin, and the company is "making Veretentse" and Enver Izmailov. To Half-time in a small room will champion Sergey Starostin and joint action group to be "area of the" Theatre of Sand and Sergey Nazarov. Insert the head of the "accident" Alex Kortnev not previously seen in such services. On the second day Sunday in a concert program includes Jane Smith, "Ivan Kupala" Tina Kuznetsova (Zventa Sventana), Sergey Manukyan, Anton and Sergei Gorbunov Klevensky "Oyme" Sergei Filatov and Vitaly Kis, "Grunya" Alexei Zakharov and the same Enver Izmailov. In the small hall holds a masterclass Vitaly Kis also held ethno-instrumental set of novel Lomov (Moscow Choir bugler, "Ivan Kupala", "Gorodets") and interactive Quadrille chastushechny-set group "here." Leading concert Sergei Starostin and singer Andrew Kozlowski. While the festival will be a photo exhibition of Natalia Faustian, folk crafts fair Audio CD go a spontaneous improvisation workshops and performances. Man of Mystery Sergei Filatov, the so invented a wonderful feast is rare interviews. The famous jazz pianist who for many years worked with the Russian national folklore is unique in itself. His thoughts on the fate of Russian root music deserves more attention than. Sergei Filatov - several CDs with recordings of "Ethnosphera." But on the Internet it can be found. So, not educational mission? - Sounds like a toast! We want to significantly expand the site etnosfera.info visuals - out master classes - already recorded several conversations with Andrei Kotov. A total of six video recordings - Kotov, Starostin, Manukyan, Ivan Smirnov, Tina George and Moscow Art Trio (Alperin, Shilkloper Starostin). We want to make your own page on the website, call them "Grandma" and share the unique forwarding entries authentic folk, that would be interesting not only ethnographers, but jazz musicians in the first place. For example I have a record with Anastasia Ivonina the Voronezh region -. Would read limericks "under the tongue" that they hear There are other unique entries. - I have not even been to the city celebrations in small towns. Why, when people leave the rural collectives and grandmother started singing ditties - they are often not funny, and vulgar, greasy? - This is a trick question. I was young when I went with accordion - hears that his health. In general, the world is not moving in a better direction. Simply turn on the TV and see what is displayed. 20 years ago for a pouvolnyali would, and 60 years ago - shot. And ditties - they are always meaningful. - Why is the importance of this ... always the same way? - I think clowns were at least fired. At weddings, always exactly what has happened. No wonder that the Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ordered the burning of all the beeps, Duda and harp that were with fools. I think they were too greasy ditty. But the genre is. But apart rhymes, folk music was much more. We are curious about something else. - Higher Education, faculties populists "killed" all the immediacy of folk music? - I see a similar situation. At the time, of course, the great people - Vasily Andreev Mitrofan Pyatnitsky - a new class of music created. Pyatnitsky took ordinary farmers from the villages, and made it a professional team. It is only later it came to the guys at music schools, gradually replaced the farmers. Andreev took professional guitarists, gave them a balalaika, dressed in tuxedos, and we have an orchestra of folk instruments. Maybe this time it was great. Previously, people were singing just for me, it was not not any concerts and professional folk artists. You are a blacksmith, I pastor, we gathered in the evening, bahnul brew, and sit baldeem. If it's a skill, it's interesting to hear. It turns out in fact to jazz. They are even sing and play, as they can. - At what point is gone wandering musician? - They are still there. Still difficult to classify. It was like a vagabond pastushichy choir, she got to the World Expo in France. For me it is very puzzling that preserve in almost all European countries, the traditions of folk music-making, and we have the whole country a single Balalaika extemporizing - Alex Arkhipovsky. I once twenty years ago, in conversation with a KGB man, and he said something that shocked me at the time - folklore passed on stage is fake in the same second. Once we complete the environment, it happens. They sang together, not for the audience. Some Like what? If you do not know the standard, folded in the second stage of - start parallel chords and stuff. I think happen in villages like this though. Forty people live and work together, and every 40 years they repeated - this drink, sit down and eat the same hundred or ten songs. And eventually begins improvisation - boring because the same thing to sing in the same way. Grandmothers do not sing in the villages, they play songs in history. This is the jazz. And we have a "national" school is missing a segment of improvisation can be called. The actors have daily training sessions on improvisation, jazz musicians have a jam session, and the populists this at all. In most talented populists such ability is there, but not because of the formation and the nature. If a music college student, he will. Notes that were given transcribed from a tape And teaches students fourth voice from above. That's it! To test with a thick score get credit and ... oh well forget everything. A grandmother would drink another 50 grams of vodka, and it's another score! - On the other hand, thanks to this training, but this was the formation, in cans? - We say, in fact, about libraries. About zookeeper. Popular culture keeps waiting for other people - the more talented or system. The demand from the people to come up with a kind of fusion - is impossible. Scene - it works. I would put the people in the offices, training centers for emancipation, coordination, touch, energy, rhythm, ensemble improvisation. But the same is the one who owns it, to teach yourself! That's the problem. - Let personality Sergei Filatov. Getting Started career - from jazz and populism? - I am an accomplished accordionist, finished music school and Voronezh School of Music accordion. Because the piano was not me! (Laughs) Although I always loved playing the piano. At the same time I was playing the accordion at weddings, and played on the VIA electric organs. Nearly a year after graduating from college, I played in a pension, since closed accordion and more has not touched. Since Soviet folklore - it was a complete nightmare and horror. Standing with accordion before you scream aunt - and they sing what they want, where they want to record. Can sing in any key. And I joined the faculty of the Moscow Institute of pop culture. It was the first pop-faculty in the country, even in Gnesinka was not. And it was a jazz epic. Communication with the best jazz musicians, classes for five hours on the piano ... There is another dimension! Feel completely different quality. After graduation I was sent for culture distribution in Chisinau. I was invited to teach jazz, I think I was the first professional jazz educator in Moldova. Of those students, I collected the first Moldovan Dixieland. When I settled in a hostel, I was shocked. "Be." Played in every room of the student No pop, no jazz - exclusively Moldovan folklore. In Moldova musicians one way - to the wedding. He knows that if you, as you learn to play the clarinet, then later he will play at the wedding, and will be for two days, so there will be no shame. So they have an incentive - to play their instruments well. Life is all in place. I think. In Central Asia, Armenia and other places in the same way Often the musicians for weddings, do not even no notes - and play, so that makes your hair stand on end with excitement. We have not claimed. People do not want to hear at weddings and celebrations of his folk music. Best students invite the same musical as an entertainer, and those nezadorogo bride or stolen to represent or other ceremony. Play the score as in uchilishe, nobody asked. This profesiionalnaya folk music people do not need! Perhaps many people do not like my idea, but it is so. Bathed in the national republics musician roots in music ... - - Here it is! A Coca-Cola that you refuel? .. If life drink oil, and you will be given milk - you say I do not need it, I drink the oil! Therefore, the "Ethnosphera" we went a completely different way. The French call it "invented folklore". Author reading of the principle of "I feel." - It may be called urban folklore? - No, it's not the city, and folklore. Rather, a mixture, fusion, penetration of cultures. When musicians communicate with each other and a kind of a third State. Which was not the people, but it is imbued with his spirit. Golden Trio - Sergei Starostin, Sergei Filatov, Andrei Kotov - What was the path of the Moldau "Ethnosphera"? - I lived there for six months, and began playing Russian music of nostalgia. Away from home playing it. And after listening to Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, not less. Still, I was in a different musical space. In my jazz began to show something purely Russian intonation. - Same Boris Rubashkin, in a foreign country, sang folk chanson ... - Everyone can decide what to look for meaning. - At what point there was the idea that generation of musicians who improvise in a position in folk music? - For me the impetus to listen to records with winter intercession. I sat there and almost cried. It was a revelation. Hit sit down with such force that it was impossible. The second shock was when I heard the legendary Bulgarian Choir "ANGELITA." I started my experiments with folk choir. We have tried to do many different materials, but has not run worth it works - not enough that special know-how. - If the first "Ethnosphera"? - In 2003, the Central House of Arts. It was a desire that people who try to play something living to country music, are to be brought. First of all jazz musicians, a priori, have improvisation and talented populist. It is important for people to understand - no need to go and sing 28 verses that no one knows not in the audience. The scene requires an understanding of what you are doing. There must be something else, and in any case - quality. - Will it be the concept of "Ethnosphere-2011"? - The main task of the festival - a high quality video with high quality audio, so you can show that it is a quality product in Russia, "the roots" - designed to play high-quality, pivoted, rotated mounted. If you feel ashamed and not show at home and abroad. Highly professional product. Accordingly, the creative component involve such tasks. We try to match the world's best. And for those companies and ideology. If you remove 40 cameras and you will be surrounded by musicians - playing badly impossible. Because you have no place. In this sense, we have a hard face control. We do not know how you know. We feel for. We walk in the dark. Tried twice with a symphony orchestra, and it was good. Possible so you can commercials. Hear, see, I like it. - In addition, the musician you are always playing with each other and form a totally unexpected combinations. - We are trying to do it carefully. Tightens musicians from the first level, for example, from the collective Agutin. And they like! Although it initially seemed that a big gap between us. Bridge the gap - it is difficult, but sometimes it turns out that there is something. September 15 to 16, "Alma Mater", 18.00 Guru KEN
