Singer cherry biography

In favorites, Alexei Vishnya, the author of the author in the studio of Alexei Vishny, created by him in his apartment, recorded the best albums of the Kino group. About the difference between Leningrad musicians from Moscow, about why he created the studio, why the Russian rock died and what he would say on his grave, Alexei Vishnya told in an interview with the “egoist” Alexei Fedorovich, on one of the sites on the Internet you began to lay out the chapters of your memoirs.

Not early in your years for memoirs? Alexey Vishnya. My parents died when they were sixty. I thought that if there is some kind of heredity, then by these years I need to do this.

In fact, I wrote before, but taking into account the time I seized something. And what is it to censor your biography? I am well acquainted with self -censorship. My whole life is self -censorship. But do we seem to live in a free country? Relatively free. We are free to wake up and fall asleep. You write about music, musicians. What can be censorship? We have never been extremists, but this is not the only thing for which they punish in our time.

We survived until those times when most of the party, which was in the rock club, has already died. I mean the musicians, because the audience mainly consisted of them. I have a good memory, and it seemed to me that it is very important to preserve this and tell the story of rock music that I saw with my own eyes. If it's not a secret, what was removed from the memoirs?

Basically, drugs associated with drugs. You are very frank in the assessments of the wife of Tsoi. Why do you take this into public space? If not me, then who will tell the truth? But you write about her self -interest. But the benefit was straight. What to do? Time is. Previously, it was impossible to kiss on the streets, but now - please. The moral is changing, but I use it. I do not make anyone bad.

Everyone is already dead. You won’t harm anyone. Judging by your notes, you were a relatively free person. How did you get it in the early eighties, the peak of stagnation? Or were your parents so liberal? Dad was Patriot Patriotovich, gravitated more to Stalin, did not like Khrushchev. He was a front -line soldier, worked as an encryption at a military attache at the Soviet embassy.

Dad always convinced me that we live at the best time of this country: “You, son, complain that we don’t have it, and you just don’t understand that this is the most wonderful time.” Have you turned out to be an anti -Soviet? From the age of fifteen, he was influenced by his incomprehensible words. Dad was very surprised when in the year I was released with Kureokhin in Yugoslavia.

He thought that with my background I would never see abroad. He said: “Look, in Washington, blacks sleep on the street, eat something, they cannot go where the white ones.” And no one slept on our street? And our drunken ones were lying everywhere smiling. We drove hops, gray -gray cars, similar to gas chambers, and collected them. But how did you manage to be internally free? Judging by the heads where you talk about your youth, this impression is formed.

My freedom was that I was without a tower. I was not afraid of anything, and if I did not want to study at school, I did not study. And they finished it not with a certificate, but with a certificate. The evening school later had to be finished. And so it did not really stand out. He was a simple Soviet guy, like Tsoi, by the way, he was also ordinary. Alexey Vishnya photo aunzhakov. It was rather an expression of internal protest.

Punk, by the way, has always been in a successful society. When in the year I arrived with Kureokhin in Yugoslavia, I first saw real punks. They were students, clean, neat, in leather jackets, with ironware. They seemed to me glamorous. And the faces were unstable, and I did not see them drunk. And ours drank, very strong, so they always had dented faces. Why did you create your studio: make money, help musicians, or was there an element of freedom in this too?

In no case do not earn money. Universal income was prohibited by law, and all my life I was very afraid that they could be accused of this. I had only one desire, if you want, even the task: Russian music should be more in the notes. Not to music. I dreamed of becoming a sound engineer, this was the main motivation. But I did not have a higher education, since I did not graduate from a music school, and without it it was impossible to enter the conservatory.

Later, film engineers began to prepare at the institutes, but this is a little wrong. I wanted to work on the “melody”, but to get to this work, I had to be a great sound engineer, and we had such - on one hand you can count on the fingers. In your opinion, the Russian rock began with the imitation of the western or was there any original? The first songs were translated, that is, Western riffs were copied, but there was an attempt to do something of their own.

True, all this was like a “company”. You probably remember: all the dance songs were causes. The musicians knew how to play the “company” one to one. All this was unoriginal. By the way, the first Aquarium was also not very original.Here Makarevich listened to good music, understood in harmony, used it. But in the melody, none of our musicians understood anything. Our behavior on stage also copied?

They copied, but only we had a different life in comparison with the western ones. Panks in England fought against their beautiful bourgeois society with their music and culture. And we had what to fight? There was one poverty around. Well, they found some topics, focused on them, but mostly sang all kinds of nonsense. It is believed that in the seventies and eighties there were wonderful musicians in Moscow, and in Leningrad there were almost no, but more attention was paid to social problems.

Do you agree? In Leningrad there were pon -ponchinders. In Moscow, they were more academic, knew notes, understood the music and made it. That is, he knows that there is a note, there is a note before, but he is not an academic musician. But with all this, it was the Leningrad rock shot, and not Moscow. In Moscow, everything was richer and more expensive, but the Leningrad rock turned out to be closer to people.

What original features did he have? Interesting social texts. They were better than Muscovites. Unless the "time machine" was different. There was still such a DK group in Moscow, few people now.
