Celebrating its sixth anniversary Cultural Center "House", a well-known Moscow music lovers with the "wrong thread" - the most unusual concert hall in Moscow, "winter garden room with a bar" and "Club, which is the academic musicians" such as through its pores. In a broad sense, the "Home" is the current music culture. This year has been very difficult for the "home", but "budget" does not lose his presence of mind. Says a member of the "House Committee", the organizer of the "homeland" of the festival, "alternative", the president of the Moscow Jazz Journalists Association and muzobozrevatel radio "culture" Dmitry Ukhov. Interview with Michael Weisel (polit.ru). Sixth anniversary - the date is not round, but very important for the "House", because this is the first year she spent without its founder and mastermind Nikolai Dmitriev (who died on April 10 last year). What "House" is coming to the anniversary? First, the belief that the squad. Everything and irreplaceable people decide that there is still The case, which has Dmitriev - it was a difficult job in difficult areas, unique in our country. All artists come to us not imagine that we have delivered at that level all: the design, the hall, the atmosphere, the crowd's reaction. When Nick died, it seemed that all go, or collapse, or will, as passed. Theoretically, you would find a man who would take his place, but in reality no one is: No one is willing to give up his job, and those who are ready - not the people. So. Collective leadership, which has not yet taken shape Secondly, by chance - and perhaps not coincidentally, that the general situation in the country is not conducive to the alternative - in the broadest sense of the word. Whenever something is centralized to create giant, an alternative place there is less and less. And for a fund that we could count on - Soros Foundation - Russia does not work, we funded last year, the Ford Foundation - and he gave Dmitriev fabulous money, but not on "House" and the other, the project later be the composer Vladimir Martynov development and support center for new music "Devotsio modern", and presented the ethnic projects, "House", and in this district goduprimerno the "alternative" (I have no right to call numbers, but the numbers are small). . "Etna" inflated prices Garden "Hermitage", and now we just do not know where to visit our summer festival of ethnic music, it is possible that they indirectly caused Kolya's death, he faced the problems that had not been - money , promotion is not in place that could hold "house." - the "alternative" coincided with the "Easter Festival" Gergiev, and all the critics rushed there because everyone needs something, imperial, grand That was a difficult year, but place enough. .. worthy of a solid four and who is sponsoring the program "House" Well, for example, the arrival of the Polish duo very big money for themselves gave the Polish Institute of Culture - the head of Adam Mickiewicz, and local, Moscow. Why did the media would not have been the attention, "Home", which he, as expected, you say? In the early 90's central television announcer spoke breathlessly, we say. Names of Schnittke and Gubaidulina Now pronounced without aspiration. Coups, everything returned to normal. But primarily it refers to electronic media (except Internet). Paper as the media, I thank you, they are interested in "House." - As far as possible, of course, For example, recently, we have an ally in the "daily" who writes found on many of our actions. I know who wrote it ... Yes, Gregory Durnovo! And in the "culture" musicologist Irina Severin. Sunsya it on the radio "troika", nothing would have happened. Here we must remember that we dominated the musical life very different from the world. We "show mentality." Man receives international award - the journalists begin a campaign to survey new winners. And six months later it is forgotten forever. There is another point. Since that time, there were as digital media, the music stopped, the place, the occupying earlier. Why go to a concert, buy a drive whenever you can download from the internet and copy it to a CD? So now all set in the audio-visual arts. Is there a way to set the parameters on which you choose to formulate - This artist is in the "House" will be performed, and this - ever? I would say that in the "House" will not serve someone who is easy to perform in a different location. This means that you deliberately put yourself in the position of an outsider? Now you have an alternative, to be someone, so to speak. But in practice this is not always adhered to, of course. Right now we have a pretty good working with Alexander and his company Cheparukhin Green Wave. Only artists he brings, we have to act with a chamber with an elite program - such as Philip Glass, who has "House" hold a "class" or a lecture. Sometimes in "House" are the true stars of the avant-garde and "world music", are very expensive grand tour as the recent arrival of the Japanese band "Shibushashirazu." Here is a birthday party, "Home" is the former lead singer of the cult group. Like so to organize a big story? As elsewhere. In six years, socialize. "Home" is an international party. There are plans for tours, festivals. People go to Europe or drive through Russia. With the Japanese - is another story. I personally would not invite this band, I do not think the effort was justified, but it was Colin idea he had. A special relationship with Japan, and with the orchestra In financial terms, this was a big concert (held at all in "House" and "Point") successfully? Well, I think near zero positive. But I'm not aware vdayus now in the financial details. I am the artistic director in 1993, the producer of the festival and some "alternative" - and I do not now how much are the hotel for the artists and what they are paid royalties. But because you have someone who does it have? Well, that's just the staff "Home" and committed. And what is the state of "House"? Small - four people, not counting the technical staff. Auditors, like PR Manager. This is their regular work? Yes, of course. You will receive a salary - just below the mid-level bureaucrats in Moscow. But some employees push creative projects. Another is the "House Committee" - a public board, seven or eight of us, including myself. And it works - or - on a voluntary basis. When I held the first "alternative", I have to earn some money, but it is not tied into the plans.
