I bring to your attention a guest post from our loved ones friends, thinking about whether music is somehow connected travels. The topic was taken not for nothing, since Denis is a soloist musical band, which Daria and I are ardent fans, Yes, and the solo work of Denis impresses us, both in meaning and on “vibrations”. I also invite everyone to the concert, which will be held in Moscow on October 25th.
There is one who writes music, there is one who likes to look at life in distant countries, it would seem, how are these two connected?
Traveling benefits everyone. Office employee whom i was previously, very fond of distant countries. The impressions I received in travel – as wood for the stove, harvested for the winter. AT harsh moments of harsh winter or off-season slush under gray It is the impressions that save the sky. Beautiful pictures pop up in memory and help to survive a difficult joyless time. They warm us like the fire of a cozy fireplace.
There is a significant difference between impressions and firewood: collecting impressions is more pleasant than harvesting firewood. Man same creative artist – artist or musician – in principle can not but travel. After all, it is very important to shift your focus of attention understand the essence of phenomena in a slightly new way. Afterwards this will surely result in any ideas for songs, sensations that want to convert to sounds, colors, words.
Someone will say that there are people living in the same place and finding the path to yourself, lying under a tree. There are also those who traveled the whole the world and not found harmony.
But I stick to the middle.
Even my group is so called – “The Middle.”
And many songs played in the Middle were born after visiting distant beautiful places.
The song “Over the Alexander Mountain”, which will be Presented at the nearest concert, was born from one phrase after visits in the summer of 2012 of the homonymous Pleshcheeva lake (near Pereslavl-Zalessky) with a legendary blue stone, a symbol pagan past that became a real stumbling block for spreading orthodoxy. According to legends, it was thrown off rocks, and drowned in the lake, and he crawled ashore. And people to him came and continue to come so far.
“Carved clouds are floating over the Alexandrova mountain—”

The song “Good Morning” was brought in 2007 from the mountains of the North Caucasus from near Gelendzhik, where we sat in a gazebo with completely strangers and met the morning. From the phrase “Good morning”, abandoned by someone at dawn, is already at home a kind welcome song has grown from which we traditionally We start concerts.
“Good morning walking along the riverbed—”
“Good morning walking along the riverbed—”
Good morning!
After a mountain hike to the Crimea, we lived for three days in a tent on the shore and looked at the permanently changing sea. It became a source songs “His song”. A song about self-awareness in the outside world, life like a song. And about Him, who created it all.
Crimea. Sunset at sea
Sunset over the sea
Stars over the sea
Sea waves
I want to talk about the reverse effects, songs are not always written after traveling.
Sometimes travel happens after writing songs. I posted somehow words to music. This in itself rarely happens, more often vice versa.
I quote:
“On hot asphalt fancy shadow
From the freedom of the wind …
My thoughts and feelings will remember that day –
Bad weather passed by …
I have not seen such a high sky for a long time …
Summer goes to the horizons …
Wine pours so happily into my life,
I drink your hair trembling …
|
Ahead of the ocean …
I have never been there …
Behind my back
Hold on …. ”

So, in 2011 we are with (now my wife) Nastya went to Thailand. And he was there, and hot asphalt, and motorbike, and wind fluttering hair, and for the first time we saw a big a wave. That is – the thought form worked!
“Behind my back—”
Ocean ahead
Ocean ahead
Sunset on the ocean
In 2012, on the island of Phangan, where we went with Nastya On our own, without a tour and a guide, we, however, managed to find several Russian musicians, and make an apartment concert c the participation of all of them!

Amazingly, people met and shared acquaintances).
On the sandy shore I was met by a seller from Moscow music store. At that moment it was strange. But generally we already accustomed to the world round and we often meet.
And to meet is great, just do it sitting at home – very difficult.
