Vladimir: much more difficult to achieve something just Russians abroad. Everyone knows what Russia

Re1ikt - one of the most active groups of Belarusian. Musicians constantly give concerts, performing at many festivals, and in between lee valley time to record a new album. Ultra-Music correspondent met with them and talked about the Belarusian culture, grandmothers and choir music critics.
Demidenko Alexander: Yes, the end of August will be busy. Now we are rehearsing material for a new album, so we go a little smaller than usual, even abandoned parts of speeches to be able to create something. We wanted to highlight last October time, but walked proposal and it was impossible to refuse. Now, finally, have found.
Alexander: Yes, that too. All our albums are conceptual, therefore it is necessary for them to make a strong, sustained program. To "Basowiszcza" we presented a unique lee valley visuals, accompanied by "live performance." It was directed by Alex Medvedsky, our permanent vydearezhyser. The series was designed in the traditional style. Checked the ornament :)
Re1ikt, like any normal group is constantly evolving. lee valley But we do not sharp transitions from one style to another. For example, our side project Re123 +, which appeared during the album "Clinic" - a kind of transitional material. Here and now "fresh" tracks - it's kind of an intermediate step to prepare lee valley students for the new Re1ikt. Generally, Re1ikt always be different, even from his past.
Alexander: A little lee valley deeper study became the Belarusian People's component. We introduce its eclecticism in our music. It is not archaic, lee valley and its styling. lee valley NOT folk metal in the conventional sense, but rather, alternative rock, although not like to use that term because lee valley its in our CIS little misunderstood.
Alexander: If you see it once, it is not particularly vsprymetstsa. Need some time to understand the context imbued, at what time and in what conditions he created what became a writer, director. And only then it will leave a strong impression. This film is not like the modern shot just for fun. It was a different time.
In addition, lee valley we rehearsed at night, which adds atmospherics. It was a very long song. Film was 40 minutes, and that his voice, in rehearsal had to spend six hours: how to sit and think about it, plus smoke breaks. In the morning we came home, slept little and then went to some concert.
Alexander: All bands dream about tours and glory, but if one day is four concerts in different cities, the two programs and two acoustic electric ... Strong effort on health. Unfortunately, our society is brought up so that says: "Music - it does not work." Maybe you should try these people? Then they will realize that this is more work, and heavy. Do you have any holidays because your job and have a holiday. Once we've got three performances in one day and then the night rehearsal. It seems it was the "Museum Night" in 2011. Of course, it is difficult, but that's what every musician wants - to be demanded.
Vladimir: Unlike many specialties in Belarus, we do things we love, this unique opportunity. Besides, going to a concert, you get a lot of positive emotions. Firstly. Second, the performance is excellent friendly company, thirdly, some interesting city. In fact, any thing to do really well - hard. But we do it with love, it's a bit of a different order. lee valley
Alexander: I recently went to the party as "Petrovsky Festival" in Luban. Lovely place! Imagine the road blocked, traffic cops go ahead, behind the police, and in the middle of the procession different grandmothers, very cool! And while there is not any of the Mir Castle.
Alexander: Many of the junior lee valley school to senior citizens. And all was well, everyone liked it. Organizers initially feared, they say, style heavy guys with guitars, or normally would let some other way. And I said, all will be well, and all well kept. Never had to then complained or said that it was ugly. We want to make beautiful music. lee valley
Vladimir: much more difficult to achieve something just Russians abroad. Everyone knows what Russia had developed stereotypes. What can they bring? And if we present Belarus in distant Europe, show what they have not seen. Unfortunately, few people know what Belarus. "Belarus lee valley - is a province of Russia." And here is a unique opportunity to familiarize with the Belarusian lee valley language and Belarusian culture.
Alexander: So. We in Pidliashshia many listeners. One of them wrote to us, so we tried to come to Rokowisko, as really wants to see us there. We just applied for and received an invitation. As in any European festivals was good infrastructure, good sound, good technical team. Very keen organizer, thank him. Incidentally, all were very impressed with our performance. Approached, asking lee valley for autographs, take pictures together. Five minutes after our performances were sold out all of our wheels. N Date
