Before a concert: Fedor Svoloch (Theodor Bastard) – about a meeting with a bear and books

can call the Russian group Theodor Bastard our Coil and Nurse With Wound – her musicians under the leadership of Fedor Svolochi (the scenic pseudonym of the composer and the poet Starostin Alexander) approach to a sound as considerably. Theodor Bastard experimented use in music of records of the stones sliding from mountains, combined sounding of ethnic tools and synthesizers, played on empty bottles and door springs. The main experiment began with the advent of the vocalist Veva Ian Vev at the beginning of the 2000th – since then all music of Theodor Bastard is under construction round an unusual timbre of its voice.

on June 10 the group will finish the European round by a big concert in the Moscow club VOLTA. On the eve of performance Fedor Svoloch answered questions of the blitz questionnaire of 24-hour city information TV channel "Moskva 24".

to the Thing, to leave with which above your forces

– the Columns YAMAHA NS-10. I bought them nearly 20 years ago. They are laid off long ago, but still remain a studio standard on sounding. Their honest sound quite often prompts me the correct direction in arrangement.
the character Most similar to you on a scene, in literature and on the screen

– it is difficult to tell. I was imposed always by Knut Hamsun's heroes. Let's stop on Glan Thomas from "Sir".

For these albums (plates, records) you would give everything to youth, but also now they are worth a lot

– The dark side of the moon. In due time this plate of Pink Floyd was brought from where by the father. And I as bewitched listened to it around, representing space chasms, travel on the Moon and other. And this album still chafes my imagination.

the biggest delusion concerning Theodor Bastard – People see the name of our collective and think that we play either hip-hop, or any threw. And then very much are surprised when learn that in our music there are a lot of national motives and sings beautiful Veva Ian – one of the strongest Russian vocalists.

– the Meeting with a bear in the North Ural taiga. Six mornings, I without boots, only got out of tent – and faced it face to face. We rushed in different directions.

This person has no relation to music, but this is absolutely musical person

– my friend Vladimir Svinopalov – he hears important things in a sound and perceives music, as nobody else. I often listen to his opinion.
the Movie and the book which have made on you impression lately – Now I read to br "A picture of the world of Tungus" Sem Tatyana. The extremely interesting historical and ethnographic sketches. Also I re-read Vertinsky's book "The road long".

you long wanted to carry out it, and here this time came

– I made out one of our last albums "White" of series of the of pictures gouache. I want to copy them oil in a big format. Drawing for me – something like meditation. Though not many know that I am fond of it.
That is made made by br, but in it you will never be got involved
– Work in journalism more. I was the time the editor-in-chief of one musical magazine. and owners dictated as how to write. Complementary materials had the price, well and an other wrong side of show business. I am glad that more than eight years not in it, and I can simply do favorite thing – music.
