this is the golden mean this is the golden mean we have a group of two pop singers and two academic,
together we have created such a bridge between the stage and the classics
Fuzzy, there are two classical and two strange we have, let's say Asan, we have a classical singer with
education who went through all the stages of becoming as an academic singer, Zhanibek is a pure pop
singer, finished pop and division, Meirkhan is a conductor. Therefore, Meirkhan is kind of a universal,
I cannot call myself a super classical singer, so I put it in the middle.
When we are together we have everything clearly according to the template,
in most cases, not always, but if necessary, we can do it and we do it
my job in order to distribute in any composition over several voices,
somewhere in unison, where- then in two voices, somewhere in 3, 4, this is all the work on the voices lies with me
This comes with time, this is work with the ensemble, we have been singing together for 10 years already,
and over these ten years a person still gets used to it and so it’s the same
as a newlywed family just got married and rubbing against each other there, and after
ten years or after five or six they already more or less understand, feel each other.
I
This is not my first team. my specialty involves working
with a team with a lot of it.
By the way, we have never celebrated, I remember that it was spring.
Probably ensemble singing, built, and we try to sing with a good pronunciation of the language, the
very understanding of the style of the piece that we perform and its arrangement in
our own way. I think this is some kind of spark, some kind of magic in this, The
magic is that we were lucky with a friend, we got along in characters, the most important thing with voices,
Because I saw many bands,
listened to many bands, as a sound engineer listened, not as a singer ...
You just listen to the finished recordings and you realize that they were recorded somewhere in a good studio,
they were probably mixed very carefully, but it doesn't work, it doesn't sound. The song seems to be good,
4 powerful voices, but it is spoiled, that is, the voices do not mix. I ca
n't explain it, we start singing and our voices just add up to one.
Do you remember this interesting fact - after the performance of Muslim Magomayev's composition
"Blue Eternity" there is always such an ovation, wherever we perform it, at events,
at concerts, on set, everywhere, they applaud everywhere, they say bravo
and we ourselves do not even understand why , why this particular song, we have so many songs,
why this particular song evokes such a storm of applause, perhaps
I listen to it, I say: "Sing the main melody, I'll just listen" and after listening, I understand where what
sounds are missing in harmony, and so I only touch on them, so as not to overload the already finished arrangement with your voices
too much , so that it is beautiful, so that it is neat, most importantly,
not too many, because it is too many voices all the time from beginning to end - the person
gets tired. We still need to let the soloist prove himself, someone should enter gently,
someone should enter hard, at least I try to keep it at this level.
As far as sound is concerned, I listen all the time, analyze our recordings,
recordings of competing groups. We have a small Almaty, guys from other groups are also our friends,
everyone has good voices, they have also been performing together for a long time, but the ensemble has never existed,
and even if you give us the same technical task, we will sing and they will sing ,
and try to mix it on a computer, there is not a single technique that will help you to do it the way
it should be. First of all, the band should sound right, and then it's a matter of technique.
We had an example when Meirkhan left the group, we were looking for a person to replace him for a very long time, we
invited different people, from other cities, the voice is good, we start to sing something together - as
if he was just sticking out and it didn't work out. As a result, Meirkhan had to return to us.
We collectively decide, somewhere we need to leave more solo, but let's give it all here
with all our might. You just open the lyrics and you already know, you see who should sing where
. As I say, it's called an ensemble. For example, Zhanibek always starts with us,
then Meir continues, or Zhas, if the notes are high, this is Zhas, if there are chords, it means Meir,
I usually sing only the second verse. The main thing is that Zhanik does not stand next to Azulan. Why? Because
you are completely different, that is, you will enter very softly, gently, and Azulan is in galoshes and trample.
we all decide what we will sing, for example, usually the producer suggests with us, and
we all decide together. All Magomayev songs are my favorites. We actually decide together with them,
for example , I like how Zhanik sings pop songs. We are all four,
we have different voices and we like very different styles in music, everyone has different tastes, for
example, if I talk about myself, I can't say that I definitely love
this genre and that's it, I'm stuck on it. I like all styles, I listen a little bit from each style.
In the Mezzo repertoire, I like folk songs where there is an opportunity to improvise,
because it seems to me that improvisation in music is
still the point of freedom to which all musicians should strive.
In fact, the answer is simple - there are very few contests for groups where a group can go. There are a
lot of competitions for soloists , the same x-factor. The x factor was tested twice in Great Britain, now there are
almost no contests anywhere. Here is the New Wave, we will still see what will be ahead,
so we knock on wood and, as it were, hope that everything will be fine and it will not be canceled either.
Why is this important to us? In our genre, it is almost impossible to become famous due to some songs,
because the genre is very niche, for an amateur, let's say. We cannot release a disc and wake up stars
in the morning . It doesn't work that way, especially in Kazakhstan, so we need to storm contests,
show ourselves to people, because we are sure that our audience, our audience, they will love us,
they just need to hear us. For example, Dimash is a Kazakhstani, before the competition in China he
was not very popular, he was in sight, but he was not perceived as a star. And when
he took part in I am a singer, everyone already looked at him. And here's a good result, I think. Yes,
Dimash had the most representative situation, it is the brightest, as Zhanibek said,
here he was taken for granted, well, God, well, cool, there is and is, well, handsome!
Here, Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and, unexpectedly, Turkey. Russia is a part of the world, a
very large part and we are in second place, or rather in first place according to the statistics of
our youtube channel. For us, more viewers are from Russia than from Kazakhstan. There is a
plan to enter Asia, our producer is constantly working on this, to become an Asian Il divo
