Dmitriy Koldun: "In that music which we play, the main thing -It`s the mood" (specially for a site koldun.name).

On May, 1st

There are very rarely any "live" performance of singer Dmitriy Koldun without own group of professional musicians.
Than not an occasion to ask him some questions?
Dmitriy Koldun has told to us not only about them, but also how perceives join work with musicians, about the songs and creative hopes.

The part 1

Dima, name to us, please, your group.
How it is called?
-The group have not the name. In general the group the these fellows to named difficult. On my representations, the group is a collective which gathers, including during free time from the basic rehearsals, for creation of own products, for their record. I know that our guitarists Anton and Vasily play together at l in group «The Burns».By the way, recently was at their concert))). I received different impressions! And as to representation of the fellows from a scene I am obligatory represent by name each of musicians.

- List, how call the fellows in your a command and who is engaged in it?
- The solo guitar is played by Anton Habibullin, very skilled guitarist with a long standing and the sight at the world.
But we all named him . It whether derivative of a surname, whether that he constantly wears cotton clothes.
The acoustic guitar is played by the Bishop (Denis Zhdanov). A nickname, unlike , Denis has received at us in collective for the kindness and a magnificent beard. And in general to me, apparently, he is very charismatic would look in clothes of the priest, but these are my imaginations. The drummer Vasily Bartov. Has a code rank "Mum" for the appearance he is house very much))). The Bass Guitarist Vasily Zubkov. We call him Vaso, he is very much as similar Vaso.

How you have picked up collective?How much a great the chance that people in it can exchange, and because of what ?
The fellows were recommended to me by my friend Alexander Astashenok. He told that there is good group "Trunks".
We have met, children have played a little and have decided that it is necessary to try to work.
The primary structure of group was slightly another, there was the played collective understanding each other.
And it`s absolutely suited to me.
Relations in collective in due course exchanged, musical sights have exchanged, the relation to work exchanged.
Therefore there were changes.
I consider that search of the adherents is a long process which is impossible without tests and errors.
As to changes in group structure from the person playing on the drums, I would like more game on that the former drummer was able.
And instead of the person behind keys it is now used portostudio. I think, if there will be any large solo performance, the structure of musicians to this event can extend.
From the most simple that can occur to me a violin.

Something the general connects all of you, except music? Or youy meet only on the rehearsals and the concerts?
- Sometimes we meet to sit in cafe, but it happens extremely seldom.
Therefore, as often happens, when there are musicians all the same talk about music.
About women, of course, too speak, but itis less.
And as sights at creativity and musical preferences we have very different these conversations can last very long and turn not to rest, but in the «political debate».

You can define, in what style you work?
- I sing songs which are pleasant to me, first of all.
Someone names it pop, someone expects any rigid reeves.
While I cannot precisely answer this question

Do you improvise on a scene improvise or all is rigid?

- Improvisation is my friend.
I do not love any far-fetched and learnt phrases, any theatricality in bad sense of this word.
Though the certain share of the rehearsed fragments is present. And as game of the group, practically always there is an a share of the improvisation .
It is sometimes good, sometimes not so.
Actually, all should be rehearsed, parties must be studied.
Even if somewhere happen the moments of the improvisation during performance should be very little.
In an amicable way, at each concert all should sound as on good rehearsal.

How you estimate the work of the group? Whether you consider, what the command has already developed also you have reached defined understanding?
Or you must to work?
In group we understand each other normally.
However, always is over what to work.
But it is necessary to think out most much or to ask the help from not indifferent people, for example Bagrat Vartanjan.
It would be desirable creative penetration of everyone into process

- And in what Bagrat Vartjanjan helps?
- Besides we are friends
I has very similar musical tastes and sights at creativity with Bagrat .
Now Bagrat helps me with record of the second album.
As he partially is engaged in arrangements, produser a vocal, and for some time still began to be engaged actually in the organisation of work of studio "Lizard" on which we are register.

The part 2

Has each participant a votes in a group ? In what it could be expressed?

-The vote have all.
In creativity totalitarianism seldom leads up to good.
Always interesting another opinion.
Now we have written down a new song and have already interrogated an order of the 15 persons.
Each of them said something .
It is not obligatory musicians, there can be everybody, any opinion is important.
Especially proved opinion.

Do you plan to make the show program? Or to make any light effects? Video - photoslides on a back background of a scene?
Somewhere we will reach it.
I have not reached level yet when all will be sing my songs and it will be already necessary to surprise with something.
As in that music which we sing, the main thing mood.
From all shows which I could see lately, I has very much impressed the show of the group "Rammstein" show.
But there are obvious obstacles in realisation of such things. Because even a sound qualitative sometimes cannot put in the regions.
And about light in general speeches do not go,there are the pair of fixtures and any cheap projector.
What is the show?

How you concern to what your songs can sing?
Here I, for example, will take and with my group will execute publicly pair of songs from your repertoire...
For infringement of copyrights will be nothing to me ?

- It is possible to sing any songs under the legislation.
A copyright infringement is use of original soundtracks the rights on which belong to the executor, or the arranger.
If someone sings my song, it will be pleasant to me.
The main thing that it will be not false and with soul)).

What are the compositions in your repertoire, at your opiniont, can be considered as hits?

There are «Give me force», "Tsarevna", "Star".
Plus a new song.
It would be desirable,if new song became a hit.

Why you have decided not to show a part of the songs, during the crisis time, all means for promotion of the actor are good?
At least demos for example?

- I consider absolutely wrong to show demos
Actors, musicians who are for me authorities, have dared to let out collections with the demos-records neopublished only after a national recognition.
The Demo-record on that a demo to remain in a narrow circle of people which understand that it is possible to make from this by means of qualitative arrangement and competent producing.
If I considered that all means are good, Malakhov + » I would go on TV- show «Malakhov + » or would participate in discussion of the statements of Vanga.

How long time you started to write down the second album?
What is the time you will plan to work over it?

- I reflected over the first album much.
Therefore now for me the main task to find and choose one of singles on which the new album will be based.
Now I intend to spend more time for work on each track separately, and over that all compositions were on style and on mood are similar.
Terms I will not name.
I do not want the same, what was with the first album .

How many the compositions there will be?
Who authors of texts and composers with whom you have decided to involve in teamwork?

- By quantity of compositions while information is not present even for me.
As to music there will be our join tracks with Bagrat Vartanjan, and also mine and his separately.
And as to texts, I think that there will be also my own texts , there will be also Irina Sekachyova's songs, probably, Karen Kavalerjan.
While it is all in a work and song stage definitively are not chosen.
If you have a good song send it to me .
It is always in the price!

What can you offer to the listeners in the near future?

- I will suggest to listen to a new song very soon.

Now I will a little depart from music.
Dima, tell, you never think concerning uniform style in clothes on a scene?

- Generally I have tried much .
And it seems to me, at present I already defined.
Just now in work a several design scenic clothes for me, and for musicians.
So you will see.

And the last: what should occur in the musical plan that you to tell «the Life has gone right!».

- That the majority of my songs willi became hits, and everyone could sing at least one my song.

- Thanks for interview and successes in realisation of the conceived!

Many thanks for the translation to Gladys.

Dmitriy Koldun in the special project of the magazine "Teleweek" of the 75 years to the Moscow underground

"When I have arrived in Moscow it was not possible at once to understand an underground- web for me
I constantly passed by the necessary stations
Once i was going to other branch and left in an opposite side
There are only two lines in Minsk and we have not ring line
By the way on the ring line to me there was an interesting case with me
Near me sat the man in old clothes with a guitar
We started to talk
He was the musician from the street and he arrived from Belarus
Many interesting and ridiculous stories I heard from him
And I have told to him that i will go on musical competition
When I left he told: "Good luck, friend, truly!"
Since this word "truly" remains in my lexicon
The 4th years passed from this
And I met this musician on Old Arbat in Moscow"

Many thanks to the translation to Gladys.

"From the natives of Azerbaijan, I know, probably only Güne» (Vesti.Az). May 8

"In 2009, your country is adequately presented Aysel and Arash"

Interview with Vesti.Az popular Belarusian singer Dmitry Koldun

- Working on what now? We know that you already have a taste not only as a singer, but a facilitator. And the Russian press writes about what you are looking at the role of Zorro in the eponymous French musical. Tell us more in detail about everything ...

- Currently working on his second plate. The first single from the new album is just now running into the rotation, and in the coming days plans to begin shooting the video for this song. With regard to participation in the musical in the role of Zorro, it seems ordinary assumptions of journalists, as long as the guys do not make any suggestions regarding this project.

- Have you ever participated in various music festivals and competitions. Which of them can be called a determining factor in your career and Why?

- Perhaps part in any major music festivals and competitions for the artist without a trace does not pass. For my part, and victory in the "Star Factory" became a launching pad. During the few months that lasted for this project, I learned a lot. The next step for me was the participation in international competition "Eurovision", which helped take the new step in my career. At the Eurovision get great experience, though forces and nerves this competition takes a lot. But it's worth it.

- As for today you characterize your creativity: you have already achieved what we wanted or until the dream still far away?

- Achieved? In my view, the satisfaction of accomplishment - a kind of stop in development. The motion, search, diversity - that's my motto. I am very much not yet tried, so everything is still ahead. There is now recording an album, which basically will consist of ballads, slow and beautiful compositions. In general, I like to experiment, and in the music world is so much interesting.

- Remember that in 2007 you were at the Eurovision Belarus and took fifth place. How now can appreciate my statement, would change it something might choose another song, or all left still?

- Sometimes the internet sight comes across an entry that my speech at the "Eurovision-2007". That's how much time you saw a desire to change anything had occurred. Song decent, and presented it, in my opinion, was good.

- There is a desire to once again try his hand at this competition, or once enough?

- As such, obsessive desire to go back to this contest I have not. But if it happened so that there is, write a song worthwhile, then why not?

- Since then, watch for the contest? You may recall the participants from Azerbaijan in 2008 or 2009?

- About 2008 I do not remember, but in 2009, your country is adequately presented Aysel and Arash. Song and room were beautiful and memorable.

- This year, this country will present 17-year-old Safura. You've heard of it? Did you see how she sings? And that can advise her to do well in Oslo?

- No, not yet heard. And I wish faith with the warriors strength and good luck!

- Baku before?

- Heard a lot about your country, but, unfortunately, never been there, although there is a desire to see with my own eyes everything that I've heard.

- We met with Azerbaijani music, culture, performers or people from our country who are now working in Russia or Belarus?

- The culture and music of your country sign, but not very deep. And of the natives of Azerbaijan, I know, probably only Güne.

- By the way, Azerbaijani Güne several years now sings and acts in Belarus, and every year trying to represent your country at Eurovision. What do you think, what it lacks, to win the national final: It's all in the level of performance, or may in the nationality?

- Güne believe talented girl. And to the question: "Why should not she have enough to win the national final?" Difficult to answer. And a powerful voice she has, and there were excellent facilities placed. Maybe just a little bit not enough luck?

Dmitry Koldun: The greatest magic is love!

By combining the celebration of his 25th anniversary and presentation of a new video, Dima Koldun gathered his friends last week at magic-party at the restaurant BON. Already on the verge of the restaurant, I realized that it will be an extraordinary evening. It was an incredible atmosphere inside which is difficult to convey in words. Many lighted candles, magicians Safronovi brothers on stage, divination by Tarot cards, and the hero of ocassion - in mysterious black gown, little tired from excessive media attention, but still good-natured and friendly with a merry twinkle in his eyes.

Of course, the conversation went about the miracle and magic ...

Vitalia Solnechnaya (VS): Dima, witchcraft - in your genes? You said that your grandfather knew how to make magic potions and medicines. What do you think - do you posses a gift fro his abilities and skills?
Dmitry Koldun (DK): Witchcraft in my life started when I began to study chemistry). But seriously - my grandfather really was collecting herbs and roots, he knew how to make potions from almost all diseases and also for the sake of fun and experimentation. I can a lot of things too, but not all recipes have survived. And those that I know, I don't tell you.

VS: Today you have prepared the show with brothers Safronovi. Is the world of illusions, tricks and special effects for you interesting? You're more a realist or a dreamer?

DK: Both. I like to be alone in the open space and dream ... I spent a lot of time at rehearsals with brothers Safronovi, where I "disappear" in a magic box.)) I understand perfectly well that all the tricks - the technical skill and dexterity, but I try to forget about it and believe in miracles.

VS: What is wonder for you?

DK: Perhaps, of all that exists in the world, the greatest wonder and magic is love!

VS: Do you have now your favorite loved one, and if so, how do you manage to combine privacy life with a packed touring schedule and crowds of groupies. Are there any issues of jealousy?

DK: I have a girlfriend, but, unfortunately, we did not see each other as often as I'd like - she is in another city. As for jealousy, I'm not very jealous, never scandals because of this, I believe that trust in the relationship - the most important thing.

VS Dmitriy, with incredible looks and talent do you think about other related professions - the fashion industry and movies?

DK: You know I had this kind of experience - the rock opera "The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta". But generally, I would gladly have played some of the negative character in a thriller or a horror movie. I am waiting for suggestions)))

VS: In your new video for the track "In the empty room", which we now see for the first time, a lot of special effects associated with icing. What is this clip about?

DK:. This is a story about love. A young man tries to forget some memories of a girl with a thing of the past. From these memories all getting cold, not only within him, but also outside. Everything that would not touch a hero - freezes ...

VS: How often did you have in your life "chilling" moments or shocks?

DK: Of course, the most difficult moments - when the close people die ...

VS: Do you have a talisman or ornament which you wear for good luck? Do you believe in magic things in general?

DK: I'll say this: I don't believe in the power of things, but I can feel the energy. When the thing you give from the heart, it kind of energy, such things are much more precious than any mascot.

VS: Where do you live now most of the time - in Moscow or Minsk?

DK: Now I am living in Moscow Minsk recently rarely may be once a quarter. There is intense creative work and writing new songs.

VS: Dima how do you like to spend free time, relax, reduce stress?

DK: I love shooting, swimming, roller coasters, as well as drive to the car with open roof, and of course delicious food - this is the best medicine for stress. Hungry Koldun - angry Koldun! )))

VS: What is your favorite food? Do you know how to cook?

DK: I love dolma and tartare of beef, I can cook and can do both.

VS: Do you have any favorite places - restaurants, clubs in Moscow which you like and where you have been more than once, or would like to return? How do you feel about karaoke?

DK: I love karaoke, I have been several times at a karaoke "Opera", and what a pity that the club burned. From dance clubs, probably prefer a more democratic place, such as "Youth and Engineering'.

VS: Dima, you are not the most frequent visitor to the secular parties, for you are "star party» tedious, uninteresting, or simply not available at such time and outputs necessary?

DK: I agree, I am not party person, I try to spend time on more interesting and useful things. Although well aware that in today's showbiz is an integral part of the work, so that occasionally still am to some party)))

VS: Dmitriy, you have lived only a quarter of a century, you have already achieved a lot. Do you have any super targets? And what wish did you sat on your 25 birthday?

DK: I want a lot of beautiful new songs, in recognition of creativity, but in personal terms - a constant.)

VS: Thank you for the interview. And I want you to be always surrounded by the magic of love and luck.
