Two days in the life "Ethnosphera." Improvisational ethnics

The highest level of professionalism and passion for improvisation: When the outline contrast Festival "Ethnosphera" from other ethnic festivals, the criteria will be two. The festival began in 2003 through the efforts of the ethno-jazz pianist and carrier Sergei Filatov, and since then 1-2 times a year instead, and then exits the published excellent video and lovingly on DVD. "To be able to show that it is a quality product in Russia," the roots "- designed and high quality play, swung Who Shot mounted ashamed and not show at home and abroad Highly product.." - formulated in the interview Sergei Filatov. This year's festival was a two-day, and went to the Bard in "Alma Mater" (formerly "Jazz Town"). No matter how the volume surprised and honored names of speakers for "Ethnosphera", but the current meteor shower seems to have surpassed all previous. Only a visit to Arcadia Shilkloper and its joint set with the Russian ethno-guru Sergei Starostin worth something! First day results of the first day was the leader of an "accident" Alex Kortnev. Although he becomes entangled in the main, the artist's name, and even the name of the festival was able to convey the warmth of the relationship to the unique musician. Feel the strange instruments recalled funny stories associated with the performing artists. And started something with children. Children's Choir of the Syrian very seriously and playfully girlish ensemble "Veretentse" paved the way for a thorough project "Folk-time" graduates of RAM. Gnessin with the addition of a solid beat boxer. Thick grooves with rhythmic raspevkami ended almost Moldovan dances that have become is the song Nekrasov Cossacks. The festival began in 2003 through the efforts of the ethno-jazz pianist and carrier Sergei Filatov, one born from the side and at the same excellent projects "Ethnosphera" - "Bio - trio" consisting of: Sergei Filatov, Sergei Klevensky and Taisiya Krasnopevtsev. Unusually clear music kroenaya elegant piano passages, irrepressible wheezing horns and other brass and of course pure silvery voice Krasnopevtseva. Lullaby "Sleep lozhisya" energetic "Ladushka 'or soldiers song" Share my "sound the same intelligent, without any additional notes as creations the skillful sculptor, cut off all excess. The bagpipe in the play "Luna Park" sounds familiar does not Irish, but rather in a stunning trumpet the emptiness of existence. "Ethnosphera" - it is also master classes. Sergei Starostin think about the purpose of the musician. "I have many years so I do not care to sing what. Over the years, I began to wonder, what is the nature of folk singing. It's no secret that many hierarchs of the priests, to the seniors , on the popular culture are to blame in the original paganism, persist. Our people are not quite Christian, worship the same God and the same time, many gods. Every truth. Is there any opposition to Christ's commandments? I started for the answer in the texts that he seek sing himself. And he came to the conclusion that there is no contradiction. Set of folk songs - the same commandments. The folk songs concentrated wisdom of the people live in order to survive the worst living conditions helps. This is essentially the same Christian morals, the commandments ... ". Ensemble" Room at the "Theatre of Sand and Sergey Nazarov showed theatrical vocals, dedicated to the love between the outbreak of Stenka Razin and his polonennoy Persian. Technical difficulties prevented adequately perform, but the" Room of losing "not again ... and she sang flawlessly and dramatic. Another star of world music "Volga" continued festival supplication water plot drunkenness and always current song "corn." Angela Manukyan was singing seriously, with a lyrical anxiety and powerful expression in the upper register. Angela Manukyan singing seriously, with a lyrical anxiety and powerful expression in the upper register has a number of star-man band Boris Bazurov. Only he invented gusletar, weird mutant of Chapman Stick, and with harps, creates a unique sonorous help tone and arrived harp and tambourine (Bazurov on it knock with his foot.) lyrical song about the hard working people share in the performance characteristic vocal Bazurova seemed bleak. Sergei Filatov played lyrical piece with ethnic motifs, which together with the ubiquitous Klevensky joined the band Alexei Zakharov quintet girl accompanied by piano and riding pohripyvayuschego peacefully bass and drums. And the long-awaited and Shilkloper Starostin. They played two songs together on an alpine horn and brass from the huge arsenal Starostin separated favorite solo divertissement Shilkloper the French horn. Perhaps even more intriguing union with vocals Horn Starostin would be. But Inferno Alphorn gigantic size was sensitive and worthy of improvisation in the songs Starostin. And the long-awaited Shilkloper The first day of the festival actually "Bisom" guitarist Enver Izmailov. Especially like the audience humorous (and very technically challenging) "Blues 7/16" welcomes flavored Baiken by Izmailov indispensable. Day Two The second day of the festival "Ethnosphera" opened trio of iconic guitarist Ivan Smirnov, desperately miss the train to Vologda and all seem to come to him at too late. And not without the ubiquitous Klevensky! Smirnov was in shock, scattered virtuoso passages, and felt like a daisy in a field Luchas good energy. Alexey Kortnev changed as entertainers Sergei Starostin and famous singer Andrew Kozlowski. Desperate joke, they presented an acoustic ensemble hypostasis Zventa Sventana with Siberian Guslyar Dmitry Paramonov. Got strong trehgolosie: Tina Kuznetsova and Alena Romanova duet gently mixed with a nervous high-pitched voice of Dmitry. The Song of the Belgorod region, "We will go with you, Masha," drawl cappella "O separation" or dance song "Darling, darling," showed the same fresh modern interpretation of the folk song "without the rock." But not without dance. The head of the "Syrian" Andrei Kotov and Sergei Filatov touched another, no less important, the territory of the Russian culture. Spiritual Verse: "My soul pregreshnaya" sound in "etnosferovskom" format: the voice of the sublime spiritual and sensitive piano improvisation. Bass guitarist Anton Gorbunov - some of rock solos and improvisations (this is a key concept for the festival), bassist - played song by Looper (last day they enjoyed a brilliant Enver Izmailov), then followed him ... It is not difficult to guess Klevensky and together they breathed, or not say, meditative composition "Yellow River". One of the best ethno-pop group "Oyme" of the energetic model-singer-beauty BlackBerry led immediately unconscious and perky rimtichnostyu Moksha and Erzya (it is all the people of Mordovia) songs. Blackberries swings his staff with bells ritual called lyulyama, explained that it is a symbol of male fertility, and is the man who they knock on the floor, expect that. Addition to the family Starostin many children immediately knock politely declined. But she knocked BlackBerry lyalyamoy fun and threatening, in time demanding percussion Mikhail Sokolov. Songs about the coming of spring, stolen by a guy a girl's heart, the problems associated with the "dogs" - father and mother calls "Come with us, girls steal hay" - all this and instrumental (with the generous support playback) and a cappella version of sound at times like a revelation. So pure refractive authentic melodies in modern interpretation can be seen, let alone for Mordovia traditional culture -. A breath of fresh air, and in a good export product Completed "Oyme" chant "got Past shan," wishes of well-being and a children's song "Woodpecker". And again on the scene, "Bio - Trio". One of the trio of tracks inspired by the sound of sleeping beans. "It happened on the road, Taisa making coffee and heard the sound of grain, Filatov, immediately rushed to the piano" - said Klevensky. And in fact, the piano arpeggios in "coffee with milk" is very reminiscent of this familiar sound, formed the melody. Standard for collective improvisation (where without them?) Was The main stage of the festival was the whole group "Ivan Kupala" with perfect sound, the other two master-class in the Small Hall of the club dance group "out" and musicians of "Ivan Kupala" Lomov novel instead. Soon came the main stage of the festival, the whole group "Ivan Kupala" with perfect sound and the premiere of the song "Spark", which will be in a long-awaited new album. Musicians promise to release this fall. The "Grunya" appeared in the evening was not familiar ethno-pop edge, but acoustic minimalism. The singer of the group and then left the stage giving way to a passionate improvisation guitarist Vitaly Kisya and Sergei Filatov. Together, they launched the play "The Forest", which began 13 years ago to work closely, but he played a solo song Kis. His wife Elena Kish Grunya it focuses on Ukrainian folk songs. And then, as it already was connected to the festival in 2007, the music of the young percussionist Vitaly Kisya junior. After Taste Festival "Ethnosphera" was a kind of phenomenon. This is not a jazz festival, although there are many jazz. And not a folk festival, though it sounds a lot of folk songs, including nearly authentic performance. "Ethnosphera" took the ecological niche of Russian music for prepared listeners. Intelligent and thinking. This year's festival was held with the support of the Government of Moscow, and it is important that there are these unique cultural phenomenon further.
