"Aesthetic Education": "We have a unique right to ABBA song"

Band Esthetic Education - one of the main intrigue of the year. To the curious stares she watched as fans of artistic scandals and real music lovers. And not just in the post-Soviet space, but also in Europe. The founder of the group, and Yuri Hustochka Dmitry Shurov, "fragments" of "Okean Elzy" found immediately a common language with the Belgian Louis Frank London - a singer, music video, the director and husband of actress Dina Korzun. The debut album of the Jura and Dima wrote another parallel with the work in "Ocean Elzy". And when an opportunity, announced his retirement in a new project. From this moment begins the story of Esthetic Education. The results are there. Debut album "Face Reading", the maxi-single "Leave Us Alone". Successful appearances in Moscow, London, Paris, Rene. Composition "Horrible Disaster" in the collection "Spitz Live Record-2" London Club "Spitz" included. She got into the rotation on the leading Japanese radio station. Sound Kiev exhibition of contemporary art "Perevіrka realnosti." Speaking at the opening for Moby ... They sing the English lyrics (with a few, perhaps, than in the form of the song "Cranes and Ships," which Louis performed in Russian, but with a funny accent of indeterminate origin). And the coolest thing - crazy energy. In short, aesthetic education - the most that neither is on European products of Ukrainian origin, says: "Today". "Dance on the bones" "Okean Elzy - Okean Elzy" "If you leave", the band was at the height of its popularity. Whether it was necessary to leave at this moment, still shivering all the assets not yet received any material benefit by you for the previous hard work? After leaving, in fact, "nowhere", and brilliant ideas are not always true ... Yuri Hustochka: Actually, our departure from the group was a long planned move. This step was not difficult. Personally, I see no other way. We want freedom. We wanted to make some music without conditions and complexes. And do not intend to run in a groove and play what someone is and when it invented, and create your own style, his own direction. And we got what we wanted. You see, we did not just leave. Together with Louis, we have a new group in the image and likeness of the life we live outside of the group. It worked. - And Paul Gudimov that from the "Ocean Elzy" retire a little later you could join your team? Yuri Hustochka: None. We Gudimova with different potentials. We want different. - Have you heard the latest album "Oceans" - "Gloria"? Yuri Hustochka: Heard. I like the first, third, sixth, and I think the 10th Song. But in reality, I can not judge, because I know well the process of writing the album was recorded. It seems to me that the "bass", as in the past, not enough. I'm missing in this group always has clearly defined bass lines. But I found it here in aesthetic education. Dmitry Shurov: One thing is clear. Contributors to the album for the first time involved with absolute music education - Composer. - And what about the "Okean Elzy" thinks Louis? Louis Frank: Is it possible I will not answer this question (laughs). I'm just a fan of music in the style of techno. What can I say? The album will also be recorded. The song is ... well ... But I do not see the freshness. All this - the music was invented in the 70s. Since then, she has more than 30 years are relevant for all other sounds and intonation. So I think that the entry into the international music market, it will be very difficult. - It was a desire to work with them - by force of habit, so to speak? Louis Frank: Honestly, there are a few little thoughts on this subject. But in my opinion, the best form of cooperation - is the spontaneity. It can turn in each: for example, we offer cooperation to someone else. We will see. - No concrete plans? Yuri Hustochka: Yes, it's something. It will be a collaboration with DJ station, with whom we had the pleasure of playing in Dnepropetrovsk and who wants us to write an entire album mixes. And Alex from "Scriabin" doing us a mix of the song "Mashine". Our song is a Japanese band that we met sung in London. Then we heard her version of this song - quite unexpectedly. - In Kiev in the autumn of last year, played opening for Moby. You keep some contact with him? Is it possible, with other people and to communicate about such casual acquaintance? Louis Frank: I am corresponding with the guitarist Moby. ETNOEKSTRIM as high art - How would you describe the style of Aesthetic Education And it is possible, in order to evaluate it clear? As in Ukraine, the music you play, is an alternative, and in Europe, on the contrary, it is now the most popular - almost mainstream? Yuri Hustochka: Yes, in fact, get a paradox. But you can from a different angle. Aesthetic Education - is a kind of bridge between what happened in Ukraine and what is happening in the world. We are far more pleasant to think that we represent a particular style. A, say, etnoekstrim. To convey the nuances of what is happening in Europe in Ukraine, is not easy. And perhaps sounds immodest, but it seems that as long as we. The only ones to do the - His team, you think more Ukrainian or European? Louis Frank: While the group is Ukrainian. But I would really like in the future Aesthetic Education has become part of world culture. And so no one was interested in where it came from. To the sound of music, the question would not arise. Art should always come first, so far, especially ... After all, no one not asked: What is the nationality of Pablo Picasso or Beethoven? - The other day there was a new single ... Yuri Hustochka: The New Year's single. On the cover - photo of the group with sensitive additions of a famous artist Kiev. So nice to take it in your hand ... and a good laugh. On disk two cover versions of the song "Happy New Year", ABBA. A romantic, the other - a practical and energetic. - And with the group ABBA, sorry, it's somehow been agreed? Louis Frank: Of course. We bought a one-time right to the song. I've always wanted to sing some old song, and it has shot better than the original. And in the only three songs included on 1 January. They can be summarized as follows: 1 - You're stiff sitting at the table with their parents to celebrate the New Year, 2 - Heat of the Night, you have already drunk as a lord and 3 - in the morning, the bed and the hangover. - Your new works are a bit different than the previous? Yuri Hustochka: Probably, yes! The first album - is in fact only one kind of appointment. It is always fresh and very wet, because this music everywhere, but not recorded in the studios. In kitchens, bedrooms. Now we are trying to give the music a finished look and emotional show it to the end. This is very useful and accurate. We will try the new album is a simple and musical. For it to be sincere. - Your previous single, "Leave Us Alone" was released on the new label for you "Lavina Music". Why is that? Louis Frank interested in the fact that at some point become "Lavina Music". You see, in this case the group - she's a woman, and the label - it is a man. So, "Lavina Music" as one man and one woman liked behave. But it seems like more and the man is the next drive as well as "Lavina Music". SHOW with surprises - Louie, your professional director. Probably clips Aesthetic Education shoot yourself? Or at least the scripts that you write to them? Louis Frank: It's not that, and not otherwise. Now I'm not the director. I am a musician in the first place. I do not engage klipmeykerstvom. Dmitry Shurov: And you want me to tell you why he does not want? We are with him as she began to shoot on video for our song. And now can not quit easily. Therefore be avoided by a director best. Louis Frank: But we shoot, so to speak, in the home. In concert, we do a lot of promotional videos. Pulls alongside pictures of Yura and Dima. Maybe some kind of my work as a director and will be assigned to a group, but not now. Later. - And you are not inspired by the example of other great people - for example, Emir Kusturica, who have learned to combine film and music? Yuri Hustochka: Of course, these examples inspire respect. But to compare it directly with no Louis. Kusturica first director, and it plays music for the soul. Louis and the first musicians. At least now. - Tell me, whose idea it was to go on stage in such unusual costumes (in Donetsk ITS carried out in acidic colors painted overalls and helmets, similar to a motorcycle -. Ed.)? Louis Frank, was initiated by me. Only if we had a sound check, it turned out that the sound is just awful. Further, we found that we could not agree themselves. Now we have decided to make a payment plan for the stage show to come to the stage in overalls and helmets. Dmitry Shurov: Only it turned out that the costumes (latex), absolutely not leak air and be in them more than 3-5 minutes is almost impossible. To make matters worse, our helmets almost missed the sound. So I think that our concert was epic. - You always live show such representations - or only when the sound bad? Dmitry Shurov: There was no exception. We will never just behave as a musician. In any case, we hold some surprises. Even if our new album is less theatrical, we still had a small eccentricity "live" during performances. For example, something with fairings. We want to take off and ......
