will burn into dust, the light dust of the stars, the world will be overgrown with grass, the water will bring sand, my crazy god has fallen asleep at your feet. hello, dear friends, today we have very dear guests, you saw that here , as part of the anthropology podcast on channel one, we played instruments with the most exotic names, we played electric instruments, we played acoustic drums. please tell

me, why didn’t we invite our dear balaechka to a meeting with you, and we did it, yes, but as always with some catch, this brilliant ensemble, the duet doesn’t even have a name yet , so please introduce yourself as expected, my name is stepan kornaenko, project string, this is belarus, from belarus, the city of svetlogorsk, very nice, my name is evgeniy, dark soul, but this name has been around for a long time. invented and together we are producing tracks with balalaika, that is, in different genres, before your eyes our guests will now try to improvise, make a whole, whole play, so modern, but with the good old shell.

well, i'll tell you, it's very radio-friendly format, just you and me, can i speak for both of us, as soon as we separated, the play was already over, the balalaika, of course, there are sad, meditative pieces for the balalaika, but basically it is, of course, an instrument of jubilation, but here it starts straight on its feet himself well, of course, where did you study? primary education in belarus in selogorsk, then i graduated from college in belarus too, in the balalaika, in the balalaika everything is in the class, in moscow already in higher education, and when your mother took you to this school, the guys did not laugh in class, ha ha -ha, i got some likes, and i went myself, oh well, but this is for grandfathers, only balalaikas , no, felt boots, bast shoes, balalaika, i went to the guitar right away, it so

happened that why were you so attracted to this balalaika, a wonderful russian instrument with a unique timbre, how is it built, memillav, two strings in unison in a fourth, is this a native tuning or is it an academic tuning , but this is a tremulo, and how is it that your nails do not break during such a tremulus, you must always play the form, we play not with a fingernail, but like a little pillow, are you in great demand or are you still an amateur, well, actually right now and for now amateurs, because we have neither a concert director nor management, that is, in principle, we have a ready-made multi-genre project, even now we have a cover program, we did it separately, we are also doing a new project with electro-laika, that is, this is a chaos project , more commercial music. we mean chaos is when

you can dance, yes, that means we will hope that our musicians have harnessed the balalaika with its age-old proven... manners, you know, to make everyone want to dance, and let's hope that in modern clubs will also come with the good old invisible instrument, to confirm these words, i ask you to play something else,

yes, but this, you know, is already more complicated. compositions, of course, you make this balalaika think, and not just make funny fair sounds, this is of course very good, but how did you manage to marry this disc with a jacquey set, well, yes, but it’s more precisely not a dizyzhayky one at all, that is this is an element of the game, because we are writing the entire production from scratch, that is, i myself am the producer of this project, that is, i write all the kicks and basses? yes, this rice and everything is design and so on, and then please, some kind of solo sound, a solo sound - it will be here already , so that we understand a little later, you did a great job by the way, this sound is balalaesh, yes

, somehow you did it like that, that is, for you, the balalaika also goes through the effects, yes, yes, we have a processor and the effects are already packed here, all the effects, all the compression, equalization, and so on , that is, we have a sound check, that is, we come to the site, turn on the remote control, let's go to work, then here we go please show us your laboratory, how it’s all done, now we’ll write house music, and music, that is, we need to catch the groove, that is, we have a kick, base, base, yes, base, now we’ll go into the synthesizer, and let's find some bass. now we will match the kick drum with the bass, we will tune it, that is, it should go like this certain groove, groove, and also a nuance of this genre, that is , in general it can be built on one note, that

is, we take one one re it’s already all on it’s all good, but for the balalaika it’s better after all, for a minor, there’s a mile there, no, well, yes, for classical, but for it doesn’t make a person break his fingers, but we are rebuilding the instruments, that is, here, now he set the task re, it will be re, y you are an open chord, d turns out to be d. now we’ll lower the tuning a little, you also processed the likes in the computer, yes, yes, yes, yes, now we will write the rhythm of the ballaika, which also gives some kind of certain movement, come on, come on, well, mysteriously there is a groove there , further on percussion, and percussion is also a plus some kind, to create another rhythm, you will now fill it with sounds

, you understand, they will interfere with each other, everything should be very easy and transparent, we will also add percussion from the kick, the kick, that’s it, and let’s write some kind of atmosphere. now we are designing, that is, balalaikas, almost all of our tracks are based on this, we also need reverses, but atmospheric ones.

yeah, that is, we recorded a direct balalaika, and now in reverse, yes, and now it will be in reverse, that is, we are already entering the track, very good. that is, this is a design element, well well, in fact, all this is very good, it is, of course, immediately recognizable , each of us who was at the dance, of course, knows this type of music, but comrades, something very important is missing, without why the balayka does not exist, namely the theme, now you will play a melody on top of everything, what you have just played so well, masterfully for us here, but give us a melody? well , of course, now,

come on, now. in this application, it seems to me that the musicians have found exactly what is required from the balalaika. she is very accentuated, compared to a violinist, you understand, and of course, for this kind of music, this very accented, rhythmic instrument such as the balala, of course, is very appropriate, why no one thought of it before. take it and apply it in rock roll, it’s amazing, yes, well, there’s also the technique of syncopation, that is, we

seem to have it all in motion, that is, here it is a little brighter, that is, it’s not just her playing, well, in principle, we can develop it further , develop, develop, very good, very interesting, dear friends, this is an anthropology podcast on channel one, our guest an ensemble that doesn’t yet have a name, maybe you can tell us about it, but for now let me greet you on behalf of the good old balalaika and new dance music, but

what other uses for the balalaika can there be? well, we made a full-length film, oh, we wrote it completely , there is completely different music, yes, and now you can recreate some fragment, just the cinematic use of balaka, but we have it, it turns out, there are some salt acoustic tracks are recorded. well, there’s a thoughtful sound, well, this is the main theme, the main theme, but it also has several parts, yes, that is, there is also a rhythm section there, pom, pam, pam, there’s a melody on top, you say that you have covers in your repertoire , well, that is, original versions

of well-known melodies, well, play us which one? or or didn't plan today's music, let 's do what you want then, we'll switch.

well, of course, gentlemen, here when you have, no. and of course, when you have a slide against the background of the ped, the comrades in the air are very, very noticeable it smells like pink floyd, even if you die, but pink floyd gets a lot of likes, of course , we should have waited for today’s meeting with you, it’s very interesting, that’s why you are called dark soul, it’s just bright souul

that works out quite well for you, a rather bright soul, not dark, how could this pseudonym be... well, i started writing, that is, i generally began my journey with dragon bay with music, that is, dark rhythms, that is, i really listened to this kind of darkside music, when i think about it, but try to write something yourself something, i started writing and writing and i think i need someone, i also wrote directly it’s all very heavy, you’re so dark soul, it’s cool, i told everyone about it to my friends, it’s so cool, but it was 2008, and that is, it’s already been there for a long time, as everything has already become boring, i think, well, i will, so on. 15 years of this music-making, well, yes, yes, well, well, in fact, now i write different music in different genres, work there with artists, with vocalists, that is, completely as a self-producer, and therefore, i decided to leave , leave as dark soul, dark soul remained, yes, yes, yes, here you are, as we say, not a hot water bottle

turn on the string, i mean, of course, distortion, but the same one that we know from both pink floyd and the purple, don’t you roar the strings? it happens, come on, come on, how might it sound? something like this, a balalaika with a fastbox, this is of course good, well, we have one track, it’s made in retro style, but we didn’t include it, well, in the programs. we are today, and so, yes, we still have such a track, where it is directly overloaded, there are drums from the eighties, baseline, too, with each track we experiment with processing with yes, well someone there was shouting out there in a human voice, here are the compilations that just sounded, yes, yes, well, we are experimenting, we also

record our voices, and we are designing something, we are designing a lot, today, what is the form of life for such an experimental musician, there used to be records, but today there are no records, there’s not even anything to play on, but before there were - an album. eight songs on an album, today the life of a musician is no longer measured by an album, but depending on the form in general, well, that is, basically a pop artist they are releasing singles, we are also going down the same road for now, single single single, but for example some artist shoots and they are expecting a full-fledged concept from him, well, too , they make a maximum of 8-10 tracks, or six, that is, mini cacos should be combined somehow - some dramaturgy, but why this? yes, definitely, that is, there is no point, then it would just be a compilation of tracks from the artist, there was a time and these same, as we said today, radiofriendly,

radio-friendly compositions were valued, this meant 2 minutes, but so as not to load, today there is no such thing either, but for the radio, why not, there is, now they also play on the radio, you can listen to you somewhere on the radio, us, well, we have online radio, radio stations, some- then dj, is there mirova? level they play exactly dram and based, we have it will be ahead yet, yes it will be ahead and this is a stream, but in a different way someone is playing in a stream, someone online is just recording, they are already giving away the finished program and foreign people also include you in their well. mostly podcasts even mostly not in russia, not so much, well, somehow you still need to be called this string, although in life stepan you understand, but this is dark souul, although in life, of course, evgeniy, but still you have to somehow, well, noulalaika here the balalaika was written, you can’t call it that, but no, something else is necessary, there was lai and company, remember at

saltykov shchedrin, there was such a play, something needs to be thought, we think, yes, that is, right now the new project will have one name, yes, that is, we are uniting directly, because one project, in fact, styopa is he also making his own solo album now, an acoustic one, with all the instruments? there will be a block flute and a colymba balalaika, an acoustic balalaika, an electric balalaika, and there the music will be closer to the cinema, but maybe we will ask our viewers to fill you with options in their comments, that’s what you think would suit our guests in as the name of the ensemble of this duet, maybe you can tell me, it looks like it will help, yes, why not, why not, this is the track that we wrote, we will release it

necessarily under the name anthropology, come on, let's okay, well, then i ask you to play something else, of course

, well, why are all the compositions so short, as soon as you start to trust, as soon as you start to get used to this phrasing, like everything, everything will end, and maybe because of the pain

i have to get up? a little hungry, maybe, in fact, you’ll be hungry for the good old balalaika, now in a new way, which sounds, and you see, with your attention you will even raise the popularity of this as yet unnamed group, so dear friends, well then we must wish you exceptional luck in everything you do, because it is truly interesting, the main thing is that everyone understands what these musicians are doing, this experiment is clear, it is noble... and of course, and of course relevant, as always relevant is everything that brings a second, third, fourth, tenth of youth, even to such an instrument that seems to have been known for many centuries as the balalaika, but the next number in our program should be a belarusian pity, yes, what else do we have this whistle, which is always on at fairs it was sold in the form of a nightingale, you know, what else, what other

dulcimers are there? what is a belarusian hammer and a lot of strings yes, yes, yes, this is also a lyre, a wheeled one, a lyre, yes, a wheeled one, i think mulyavin had one in his hands, but you ’re staying away from it for now, right? it’s painful, perhaps, suddenly something, some project will be possible, you’ll never guess what tool can help in this or a situation , always an experiment, always something, a search, an endless search, some sounds... ... yes , it’s dripping from there, that’s all, that’s something of some kind a rhythm, a bicycle passed by, it has some kind of rhythm, a car honked, you were driving , listened to some music, and somewhere a car honked, and it was in the key and like this, this is what you can use, just like that sounds in design, something somewhere for signals, they tried to work in a similar vein in their time, artov but these englishmen, but they didn’t go beyond one record, you know, because well, after all, sound pitches

are... important, they tried too collect, not musical, but noise sounds and make them, as i understand it, on a sampler, harmony, well, in my opinion, in general they didn’t go beyond a certain point, well, maybe you will succeed, this is something new, i remember no one works the same way, and perhaps even this will help us treat the world around us with special attention , maybe we should listen to what’s going on around us, the premiere of the season, is there something they did for a katran? fet gribavic, where are mine? we went to the corpse, but there would have been you, kovalev, viktor sergeevich, mayor, i hope to be useful to you, there were definitely two of them, yes, two glasses, two

device, and what is this, we’ve seen something like this before, so i decided... before retirement , i’ll take up amateur activities, robert, i repeat to you once again, hands behind your back, on the floor, i wasn’t aware that the house was under surveillance, uncle van, but we seem to have one murder, ionova, an opera singer, and in her apartment there is the same sign as our alcoholic, maniac, you think it’s not forbidden to use this word, you won’t be saved, great, comrade, there was a maniac, and now a whole sect of maniacs. mosgaz is cherkasov's latest business. well, boss, off we go? from monday, after the program , time is first. when a traveler comes to venice, he tends to see his expectations rather than the city as it is. in the eighties of the century, the carnival suddenly revived on its own.

there is always a silent or screaming crowd in the square. using a mask is a desire to change, hide, become someone else , sometimes people get the crazy idea that there is no more taboo, energy itself, some kind of action, this is not observed here, not even close, and it seems to me that the russians could breathe a new spirit here. confused masks wander the streets, but this is nothing more than the shadow of a carnival. why wear a mask if you can't give up on yourself. matador, venice, winter water, next friday on the first. let's listen and continue to smile, touched by the sight of the good old balalaika in a new sound.

yes, well, of course, no matter how it sounds, the balalaika is in a new way, i still want to hope, zhenya, that... somewhere in russia, or maybe in belarus, have you met some grandfather, who would shock you with virtuoso playing on this folk instrument, there were such meetings, no, basically everything from teaching, school, and everything from the teacher, but somewhere somewhere as a child you had to hear a prankster in order to access records, records, etc. discs back then, but now you have students, i don’t teach now, but i taught, did you? yes in belarus and what, but do you have children? no, that means there will be more, well, for example, do you have children? yes, i have a very hyperactive child, so she comes when i’m in the studio,

everything, there are keys, she is, well, that is, she is this tall, and so she starts playing on the keys, singing there, everything, she likes it, as it were, that is, the music, she herself sings something there, some- then the melodies are there, and now knowing what a musician’s bread is, i don’t...’ bread is not an easy one, you would wish her to be a musician, well, that would be her choice, but in essence, you would dissuade her, no, let her be a musician, if that’s what she wants, then yes, that is, no one dissuaded me, yeah, when i was studying, i actually had a first-grade education, there is art, well, not an artist, i mean that the faculty of performing arts, there is a theater department, that is , it was more connected with the theater, but no one dissuaded me, i entered, studied, then studied further and when i studied, i came to writing ... music and i liked writing arrangements, figuring it all out, how to sit and, that is, work with the artist, there with the producers, and that is, we are now working at belotserkovsky’s studio, that is, he kind of supports us in terms of work, that is, well

bases where we can sit and create, yes, well, i also work with different artists who come to me to record songs of different genres, that is, well, mostly like pop music, well, you have to make money from this, yes, definitely . well, dear friends, then what can we expect from you in the near future? release of a new project, which doesn’t have a name yet, but already has five tracks ready, but with a name. no, well, this will be the sixth one, which we did today, today , yes, well, anthropology, yes, well, give it to you god, of course, success and may god grant you, of course, attention from the million-strong army of our tv viewers, because bala-laika is ours after all, dear friends, it was a slavic thing after all , laika, so we of course, we need to thank styopa that he is this instrument, which for many centuries has made... relevant from the point of view of the genre of today's electric

music, well, of course, evgeniy also knows what to do, well, dear friends, we want say goodbye to you, but before you leave, you still need to listen to one more play, thank you very much, dear friends, and thank you for your attention, see you soon.

you are watching the precious stories podcast and we and its hosts are the director of the all-russian pushkin museum sergei mikhailovich and ekaterina varkan, the author of surprisingly interesting books, but

the jewelry has a dual character, these are various kinds of rings, rings and so on, but most importantly, they are connected with the heroes of our culture, with our great writers, poets and people from their environment, today our podcast is dedicated to pushkin, and i would like to to share doubts with sergei mikhailovich, but in general, does everyone really... understand exactly who pushkin is, and it seems to me that in the course of our conversation today, we will try to somehow talk about this, yes, at least we will talk about him, as about a living person, in any case, i know that in mikhaelovsky in trigorskoye, they pray for him as if he were alive, pushkin was very fond of jewelry, well , we don’t know where he got such a passion from, maybe it’s from his ancestors , we know that he had african blood, in africa there

s... witchcraft, expression there, and communication with deities, maybe from there, well , he had russian ancestors, and russians were very fond of jewelry, alexander, dumootots, when he traveled around russia, left such impressions that every russian, his hand is studded with rings and diamonds, maybe that’s where it all came from, and we know that pushkin had about a dozen rings, well, that’s enough. quite expensive, two rings associated with the name of pushkin have reached us, that is, real ones that we can see, and there are several legends associated with the pushkin rings that belonged to him, one of the first, a ring with a lamp, a ring that was made by a group of young people who called it a green lamp, which means the green lamp society, gathered at nikita vseluzhsky’s, on the theater square, read poems, sang songs there

, they did a lot of things, so they, it means, to define their community, some kind of group, so to speak, commitment to each other, yes, they ordered such a ring, this is known, but no one has ever seen or heard of it, yes, this is true, by the way, it has been preserved nikitilovsky’s house, where all this happened, is in excellent condition, and alexander sergeevichkin, when he met him, would later write that he was a momentary friend of his momentary youth. and indeed, it was connected with youth, it was connected with the freedom that pushkin felt after the lyceum imprisonment of a six-year-old, and of course, it was a company of young people. people who fully felt themselves to be people of their circle, their time, and behaved accordingly, by the way, if we talk about the passion for rings, for rings, then, of course of course, this passion existed, and not only among pushkin, but among many others, his

contemporaries; it is enough to recall the wonderful phrase of marina tsvitaeva addressed to the general. years, oh, as it seems to me, you could caress the curls of maidens with a hand full of rings, and the manes of wild horses, so it was a sign of the times, all this is really so , well, while pushkin is cheerful, young and fresh, there is, again, returning to the memory of the green lamp, which many of our acquaintances were surprised when passing by the house, seeing pushkin in the window, like... which, then, being impudently cut, waved his wig, sang songs, that is, read poetry and said that i had a damn fever, so they cut my hair, about his fever there may be the wildest suspicions, what he was sick with, but in any case , the green lamp was so cheerful, energetic, a young circle, which, thank god, well, so

to speak, had some fun and somehow stopped in time, because it did not develop into some more serious, outrageous societies. and we know, this means that in the lyceum, which pushkin graduated from, the lyceum also had a tradition, graduations, ordered their rings for graduates, but we know that pushkin’s graduation did not order rings , again it is known that several graduates had lyceum rings, which egor antonovichard personally ordered for them out of great love and sympathy, and such a ring was missed . and there is a memory that he wore this ring in siberia, they corresponded with ingelgart, here is his portrait, by the way, and we will also show pushchina now, and the portrait of pushchina, he is really very good here, but as we know, pushchina’s fate was very difficult what happened

connected with the uprising of 1825, pushchin is one of these very notable decembrists, participants in the uprising, and of course, we - in due time we will talk about those rings that were, a famous story, but in siberia he had a ring, a lyceum ring , which we can also show, yes, it was, by the way, it really is cast iron, but inside is silver, this is silver, which means there is an insert on which those words, dates and names are inscribed. who sometimes wrote for the owners of these wheels. but what's interesting is that ingelgard ordered from metal, that is, cast iron so-called for as if he had foreseen and seen it, but cast iron knows why there is silver and gold inside, because cast iron does not live with human material and even

rings are forged from shackles, we know they are lined inside with gold or silver so that a person can wear it, but other than fiction. with these rings we know that he also came up with the sign of the lyceum, but you mean the coat of arms of the lyceum that he came up with, it’s really an owl sitting on a lyre and two wreaths on the sides, a wreath oak and laurel wine, oak as a sign of eternity and so on, and laurel as a sign of glory, this owl sitting on a lyre, which the lyre is strengthened with, i know that you intrigue us so much all the time, okay, then i’ll show you now.
