Alexander Shulgin: "We are ready!" Part One

We met with Shulgin in his office. Office is filled with ethnic instruments, expensive leather furniture, improving the environment and birdsong. Unconventional Show office. Alexander mounted internally listening, attentive to the words very carefully and refers to the meaning of each term. He interprets the usual sense, he says, too sore, and he thoughtfully. We sit back on the couch and begin. NEWSmusic.ru - Many say that now was a unique situation in the Russian show business. It was a center of power, suppresses all other media channels or destroyed. Do you agree with this assessment of the situation? AS - Clarify what you mean: depressed, defeated, a center of power ... NEWSmusic.ru - ability to enter the radio station, TV channels. The possibility of an artist "from the outside" to the viewer, to get the audience. They say it ... some agreement between the first channel and RMG - Agreements - is not (Shulgin said quickly) the center. This is a consequence. And where is the center, in your opinion? NEWSmusic.ru - geographically? It can be assumed that the decision-making center of rotation is somewhere in the vicinity of the office Konstantin Ernst. - AS (After a pause) - can Somewhere near this point a lot of things. But if you take the possible agreement between RMG and Channel One, this is not the center of the work. There must be some kind of nucleus, where the plan is generated and its decisions, and he can go to an other consequences - the arrangements, etc. If there is talk of musical space monopolization by the channel ... NEWSmusic.ru - About conspiracy. AS - Speaking of smoke, the fire is still out there somewhere. We certainly see that changing the air space, the "reach" have changed some conditions for the man who calls himself an artist in this "area" may appear on the market. If something has changed, this means that a person is changing. When the stars are shining, it means that someone wants it. Surely it is the embodiment of a plan. It is absurd to claim that the policy regardless of the plans of politicians. And we see this in broadcasting policy, we the people we impose as "stars". It is. See if you look at what comes out is a picture. Connect to join the ranks of those who serve the project, the definition of the ideology of the market -. "Golden Gramophone" for example Here - RMG, Channel, MTV, and several others. Print and electronic media have a clear, long-term relationships with these projects at the departmental level, or reporters, whatever. They have not completely blind to see where there are such tendencies. It is. Why, here's a question? The question of the artist's stay dissolved in the air, roughly speaking, in the. Above the center This situation has changed in the last five years, when the first channel announced that begins to work in the music market. Ernst himself said that channel is targeted influence on the show business, and not just on kinopolitiku in our country. If one does not, it will be the first. Another question - why it is done. (After a pause.) I said? NEWSmusic.ru - No, I'm waiting to hear the answer - but why is it done? AS - It would have been too easy if the answer is that I want to earn more money. But things are not so simple. The same "Turkish Gambit" works well in terms of box office. But in relation to the sale of recorded music - sold poorly carrier itself How not to ask for new heroes - drives virtually sold at concerts people barely walk. It is a known fact, Moscow is not an indicator. Despite the fact that the air sound the same song, the same artists, and the list of their narrow - with everything they could national hero. But they do not national heroes. How not to the quality of music and even professional artists, serious money to see here. Therefore taken the shaft rotation, and only those artists who have signed long-term contracts. With the "owner of the aether", with the heart And the important question of the rights of the songs that sound. Right now is not an artist, not the writer, and in the possession of the center of power. And that's a little different. As the media have a very decent amount of their income on the use of music to pay the Copyright and Related Rights. And if you are the copyright owner, the money - you if the sounds you heard. And unfortunately, it does not matter what the songs sound - talented or not. The money goes to, the rights to those works. And the law, as we have said, not the artist, not the author. This is the mechanism. Why are often unintelligible to some people sing? Why the old guard are the same Valentina Tolkunova other, often not getting to the stage, but we see the young artists, the non-self? Here the problem is not just music. True in today's media society sphere identity is not required. Not individuals. Or freaks, or small faces. Bright people have no place in literature, in any public space. Young people connected with Party Girl, celebrity gossip columns. Puppets actively encouraged the formation of social policy. So - they are part of the official ideology. Real heroes, personalities - is due. They just closed the entrance there in the media. And the whole country scale are people who have a primer. Gray primer. And difficult to scale. The so-called social life, perverse behavior of people - all from the back. All violations of the Ten Commandments to be praised, and violations are depicted as the heroes of our nation. NEWSmusic.ru - Is not it a global trend? It is assumed that is no longer the "Queen" of the great rock bands. AS - Sure. In music, there is no clear name, only bursts. Great influence on the arrival of the "digitization" of the music to make matters worse, figure can not worsen because the number - ..... It replaces the soulless life photographer on Silver Photoshop displaced artistic culture digital sound samples replaced resonators also Grammophon's sound is much more alive than many of today's technically advanced recording NEWSmusic.ru -. Is it for real artist samples - not one of the tools for the job, like a saxophone or guitar AS - I do not think (Shulgin long pause) History has .. "Experiences" takes such experiments artist or hand brush, pencil or crayon Hurry - .. While recording music in a sample of some of the rare Peruvian instrument that does not exist in nature Once interfere music, life-size figure .. disappears. (Shulgin speaks like a man who thought for a long time and decided for themselves that question.) What is a computer? Tool for self-expression. Person who can not sing, it offers the opportunity to express myself. But people never learn to sing! Somewhere all still there are people who create the music or painting hands with a capital with a capital letter on the other computer is the ability to present, that they, too, may NEWSmusic.ru - .. Channel created by bailouts and digital effects for two decent genre film, but to see the results of such music, this is a system error, or in Ernst's hands until it reaches INC - .. ..? I look at all the others for me, music is a spiritual product, if there are a lot of controls by the food, then for spiritual nourishment you need a very strict self-control in "The Night Watch" is in fact a very serious bias values in terms of music, yes, still can not, but we do not know the real problem Maybe it is the job - .... Needless to task not working -.? .. good quality to make music, take deep vibrant personalities on stage I do not think are the problem would, we would see those people, how media policy is a matter of state, I think it's a choice existing state machine News Music. ru - .. If you major label, Universal and BMG take before it is hardly worth the task to bring the person to the scene is the goal of making an acceptable quality "product", and get the maximum benefit from this AS. - ..? The most important task is to sell the maximum number of drives, with no matter what the product will grumble and the manager of this company to sell more he mean that there a new Chaliapin No, if he how destructive this kind of music for No question the young generation NEWSmusic.ru -. and as it should (with great conviction) - ..? Who about what he was doing, thinking, has the consequences of his actions, he should think, from that he - a man, not a machine. It does not matter where he works. in a large state or a small company. You need to take responsibility for certain native ideology, and it should be on a plan that will work his conscience to fit his ideology. in each Member State is an ideology, and have a plan .. No country can develop without a plan to Everyone, even a little, the company plans NEWSmusic.ru -.? mental weakness, and not just a commercial efficiency - This is the default values to be in the Constitution, does not interfere with the plans to build a devastating purpose? AS - Any parent not only shoes, dress your child, but it is also concerned - what books they read, listen to what the music, a drug used Sun leadership this should interested in how to live and breathe what the citizens of his country?. . We ask ourselves the question - whether his task priming culture obeskulturivanie If an artist wants to replace the old paint a new picture of her first gray primed Here is a primer in the country is now question - to ... what image they want the gray paint primer that it be painted? Suppose I came to Russia, ate at the "McDonald's" and saw "The Matrix", hears Britney Spears, put "Levi-Strauss," and went to sleep on the furniture "Ikea." This is one way. Either before. creates a passionate push of Russian culture Indeed, there was a time when very often spoke in French, and then Glinka, Mussorgsky came, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, this is another way NEWSmusic.ru - ... I found a contradiction the meantime, what are the international trends and the fact that it was the Russian authorities want the culture of the country Prime INC. -. I see two ways of development Which way are all, I do not know, everything is always in Russia Moscow Napoleon conquered by a miracle, and not worry about the French ... lost.
