  • Олег Нестеров о саундтреке к роману Юбка

    Mar 26 2008, 20h50 por Snegiri_Music

    Изначально у меня не было никакого желания снабжать роман саундтреком, несмотря на то, что его сюжет во многом замешан на музыке. Уезжая в литературную ссылку на берег теплого моря, я понимал, что успех моего предприятия во многом будет зависеть от соблюдения режима погружения и молчания. Жил я в полном одиночестве, в день произносил не более трех слов, да и те по-хорватски. Книги были только по теме, фильмы – сплошная хроника тех лет, ну и конечно музыка звучала соответствующая – берлинские хиты 1934-1939 годов. Слушал я ее за завтраком, сидя на открытой террасе и глядя на море, да еще за вечерней рюмочкой траварицы. В итоге, песни сами собой стали проникать в роман, переплетаясь с сюжетом, а иногда его даже выстраивая. Интернета у меня не было и я совершенно не мог удовлетворить свое любопытство - узнать побольше о том или ином номере или исполнителе. И совсем не догадывался, что большинство из этих песен писалось специально для фильмов. Нужно сказать, что довоенные немецкие фильмы были в большинстве случаев плохими: в минпропе еще в 1933 году была создана палата кинематографии, и кино было загнано в узкие стилистические и художественные рамки («…хуже дела обстоят с кино только в России!» - в сердцах говорила тогда героиня моего романа). Но вот песни к фильмам получались значительно ярче и жили дольше. К слову, как и у нас.

    Не имея никакой информации об этих старых шлягерах, мне пришлось немного пофантазировать, но, по приезду в Москву, я с удивлением обнаружил, что во многом мои догадки оправдались, и мне просто осталось вставить в роман кое-какие факты.

    Все песни были переведены, а некоторые из них в русских или немецких версиях войдут в мой репертуар: я уже начал подготовку сольной программы)) с условным названием «Москва-Берлин: до и после войны».

    Итак, 12 довоенных берлинских шлягеров, записанных в интервале 1934-1939 годов, составят саундтрек к роману, и он выйдет отдельно. Немецкие тексты, переводы, фрагменты песнен и фрагменты фильмов с этими песнями я выложу в своем Живом Журнале сразу после выхода книги, для всех интересующихся музыкой и вообще культурой довоенной Германии. Там же я постараюсь отобразить все диковины и парадоксы того времени, которые обнаружил, собирая материалы для книги.

    Остается добавить, что не вся музыка, заявленная в романе, отражена в этой подборке. Куплеты, высмеивающие ребят из гитлерюгенда, «Хорст Вессель» - гимн нацистов в танцевальной свинг-обработке оркестра Тедди Штауффера, «Танец смерти» - коронка берлинского кабаре «Танцфест», а также песня Дэвида Боуи на немецком языке – все это разнообразие по разным причинам в саундтрек не вошло.

    Не говоря уже о той музыке, вокруг которой все и вертится в романе))).

  • Олег Нестеров о романе Юбка

    Mar 26 2008, 20h33 por Snegiri_Music

    24 марта выходит моя первая книжка. Роман называется Юбка, издает Ad Marginem. Написал ее осенью в Хорватии, в деревушке Млини за 34 дня. Некоторые моменты добавил уже по приезду, в январе, для этого опять пришлось сбежать - топил печь на даче и ходил по лесу в валенках. Даже борода выросла.
    История с романом началась в 2002 году, во время продюсирования альбома Найка Заноза. Работа в студии - как съемка, процесс завораживающий, но часто возникают стихийные паузы. А Найк вообще не из быстрых артистов). Словом, на запись ушло года полтора. И это счастливое время мы проводили больше за разговорами, нежели за генерированием нот. Как-то мы с ним в очередной раз сцепились языками, и тут родилась одна безумная идея. Уж не знаю почему, но в центре этой истории оказалась Лени Рифеншталь (скорее всего потому, что ей стукнуло тогда ровно 100 лет ). Через месяц, а может через полгода, я написал коротенький синопсис - показалось, что это может быть хорошим плацдармом для фильма. А потом вдруг подумал - а зачем мне ждать у моря погоды? Сценарии я писать не умею, кино штука сложное и долгое. Напишу-ка я книгу).
    Сказано-сделано. Пять лет погружался в эпоху (это Берлин после Олимпиады-36), прочитал кучу исторических книг - исследований и автобиографий. Причем диапазон был широкий - от академиста Йохима Феста и документов проми (так называли министерство пропаганды) - до эзотерических германских атласов и экстравагантного исследования экономиста Гвидо Джакомо Препарата, где обе мировые войны рассматриваются через банковскую решетку и козни англо-американских финансовых клубов).
    Словом, время было интересное, я скрасил его тремя экспедициями, и в какой-то момент сюжет растворился в реальных исторических событиях: чем больше я погружался в материал, тем правдоподобней казалась мне моя история. А потом мне и самому уже стало сложно отличать то, что было, от того...что тоже было, только немного в другое время и в другом месте.
    Три четверти моих персонажей - реальные. Они встречались, о чем-то говорили между собой, были в центре событий. Естественно, все это я строго учитывал. И была еще цепь событий, связанных с Германией в целом. Так получились две линии, которые я реально нарисовал фломастерами и мне оставалось только нарисовать третью, параллельную, линию моего сюжета. И тут начались парадоксы. Сдвигая сюжет влево или вправо, чтобы лучше определить точку отсчета в романе, я получал абсолютно разные результаты на выходе - 37, 38 и 39 годы были до предела насыщенными, режим неутомимо менял страну от месяца к месяцу. Но в конце концов обнаружился самый верный момент для начала истории - октябрь 1937-го и окончания ее активной фазы - 31 августа 1939 года.
    Все эти блокноты и таймлайны у меня таинственно исчезли накануне отъезда в литературную ссылку - на лестничной клетке перед дверью я забыл сумку, а когда через пять минут хватился - ее уже не было.
    Несомненно это был знак: пора приступать.
    И я уехал с чистой совестью и чистыми листами. На берегу моря за четыре дня все восстановил, в голове образовалась кристлльная ясность, и я со спокойной совестью отдался.
    Схожий знак получил уже в конце января, - все никак не мог расстаться с рукописью. Когда нашел в себе силы и отправил финальную версию в издательство, сразу, на следующий день, барсеточники у строительного рынка Владимирский тракт стянули у меня из машины лэптоп с этим файлом, да еще и флэшку с бэкапом.
    Стало ясно, что роман мне уже не принадлежит).
    Знаков вообще было немало. Но об этом в следующий раз. Если это, конечно, интересно)

  • Музыка, любовь и Берлин 30-х годов

    Mar 26 2008, 20h24 por Snegiri_Music

    Олег Нестеров, музыкант и продюсер, глава рекорд-лейбла «Снегири» и группы «Мегаполис» освоил новую профессию - на этот раз литературную Его дебютный роман “Юбка” выходит в издательстве “Ад Маргинем”. Презентация состоится 29 марта в клубе «ИКРА».

    Давний поклонник немецкой культуры, Нестеров помещает действие романа в довоенную Германию. Тридцать седьмой год, недавно закончилась Олимпиада и студенческая молодежь свингует в модных берлинских кафе, но по улицам уже маршируют отряды штурмовиков, а молодые архитекторы готовят проект новой столицы Третьего Рейха.

    Все это напоминало бы исторический роман, но у ребят из бюро Альберта Шпеера есть одно странное, с точки зрения историка, хобби - они пытаются электрифицировать гитару. Главная героиня романа - молодая и талантливая режиссер Лени Рифеншталь - узнав об опытах молодых людей, рассказывает о них своему хорошему знакомому по имени Адольф. Фюрер немедленно берет их деятельность под личный контроль. Секретный проект получает кодовое название “Юбка”.

    Сам автор называет свой роман vintage novel - персонажи, подчас настоящие, действуют в правдиво воссозданном берлинском интерьере 30-х годов, но историческая реальность то и дело встречается с мистификацией, рождая новую версию довоенной Европы, в которой нацистская Германия становится родиной рок-н-ролла.

    Роман был написан за 34 дня в добровольном “литературном изгнании” на морской берег Хорватии: за это время автор ни разу не выходил в интернет, отпустил бороду и не сказал ни слова по-русски. Гораздо дольше шло погружение в эпоху - 5 лет Олег Нестеров изучал документы германского министерства пропаганды, эзотерические немецкие атласы, кинохронику и мемуары довоенных лет.

    Конечно же, дело не обошлось без музыки. Саундтрек к роману выйдет отдельным диском и будет представлен в «ИКРЕ» вместе с книгой. Он состоит из берлинских шлягеров 34-39 годов, которые Олег слушал во время написания книги. По словам автора, песни сами собой проникали в роман, переплетаясь с сюжетом, а иногда его даже выстраивая.

    В рамках презентации пройдет специальный концерт «Мегаполиса»: «На этот раз мы дополним свою программу берлинскими довоенными шлягерами, которые вошли в саундтрек, а если ситуация позволит, сыграем еще и несколько новых песен» - обещает Олег Нестеров.

    Кроме того, он готовит специальное мультимедийное введение в тему: «Расскажу про свое вынужденное бегство и литссылку, про знаки, которые меня доставали все эти 5 лет - в Берлине и Стокгольме, Балашихе и Ижевске. Ну и конечно, про время и место: город, кабаре, мода, напитки, квартиры, техника, люди. Про своих героев. Про диковины и парадоксы, которые встретил на своем пути за все время погружения в тему. Наконец, про музыку в романе»

  • Homo mensura... (?)

    Nov 28 2007, 12h40 por Epitymbidia

    Well, if you take a look, even a not very close one, just at the surface so to speak, through users' journals and group discussions etc, you will discover that there seems to be one thing that nearly everyone does, did or surely soon will do: Questionnaires. Any version of a music quiz asking questions like "where did you hear band X for the first time" or "what's your favourite song by artist Y" etc.

    I always refused making something like that. On the one hand because it is only to help people to represent their taste as fast as possible, and on the other hand because the questions are just coincidental... "Of course they are", one could say, but nevertheless I would think the whole affair to be more meaningful if I would consider myself, concerning which group or which artist I would like to ask which question...
    The other important reason for me not to make it was the fact that my whole profile wasn't really representative for my musical preferences. My hearing habits are characterized by the fact that they are divided into large phases, each particular one of which arises again and again in arbitrary order.

    There are a few artist though who emerge independent from any phase, and although they are perhaps not led completely above in my ranking list they are nevertheless among my absolute favourites. Maria Callas must be mentionned first - her raisedness cannot be doubted. Her dramatic coloratura soprano, her bel canto technique is just divine. She had the deepest comprehension of the classical Italian style, the most musical instincts and the most intelligent approach, coupled with exceptional dramatic powers. Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows is another one, created by a very special person I discovered when I was fourteen and adore her since then. Anna-Varney's music is mostly tagged as "darkwave" or "medieval", and both are just lousy misinterpretations. I think the best categorisation will always be "chamber music", despite the classical connotation.

    As I had scrobbeled the first 10.000 titles my top artists list consisted almost exclusively of composers of contemporary classical music - completely specifically expressed: film music/scores. Long live the glorious Michael Nyman I could say, and I think there's nothing more to say about him (although lots of people only seem to know him for his music for "The Piano", and although this is truly a very beautiful piece of music I really get pissed off as so much of his better works are simply unknown to most of the people who aren't into this whole soundtrack thing). Then there's Philip Glass, another one whose music is described as minimalistic. I love and adore him since I first saw "The Hours", which is now one of my absolute top three films of all times because... - well, I can't say, but I just have to cry unrestrainedly when I watch it. A few days ago I rediscovered "A Descent into the Maelström", it's wonderful and I am happy that I found it again.
    I also must mention the more classical film music composers, those like Maurice Jarre, Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry, especially these three form the great trias for me. It's just impossible to not love Jarre for "Doctor Zhivago" or "Lawrence of Arabia", as it is the same with Barry for "Zulu", "A Lion in Winter", "Out of Africa" or "Mister Moses". (It's a little bit hard for me to admit though that I dont like his musics for the whole 007 thing... Maybe I better should commit suicide now or be silent for ever and listen to some Britney or the man with the 50 in his name...) Mister Goldsmith made such great music for "Legend", a film best known for a half-naked Tom Cruise playing his first role as Jack and the wonderful Tim Frank'n'Curry as the Lord of Darkness with enormous horns and hoofs. What I like the most though is "The Mummy". The film itself is terribly stupid and I hate Brendan Fraser (what was the name of the woman? Rachel whatever...), but the music is really fascinating.
    Then there is Zbigniew Preisner! What a great artist! Since I first saw - and heard - his work for the "Trois Couleurs" trilogy I'm addicted to his dreamlike melodies. His "Requiem for my friend" as well as his "Dekalog" series are stunningly beautiful. Danny Elfman - Hm, everyone knows him for his cooperations with Tim Burton (which are great, of course), but I like "Black Beauty" the most though.
    Who else should be mentionned here? Ah, yes, Richard Robbins. He made wonderful music for most of the Merchant Ivory Productions films and was nominated for the Oscar two times for "Howard's End" and "Remains Of The Day". I fist heard of him when I saw "A Room With A View", the film debut of Helena Bonham-Carter when she was nineteen (I think). Although "Howard's End" was finished one year before "Remains..." I saw the second one first - and was doomed without hope the minute it began. I searched for this PHANTASTIC score more than six years, and just a few weeks ago I was presented with it by a lovely friend. I also have to write something about Angelo Badalamenti though I don't appreciate his work for David Lynch as much as I probably should. But "A Verly Long Engagement" is one of my most loved filmmusic works ever.
    I really don't want to ignore the others, Dario Marianelli, Patrick Doyle or James Horner for example, but this whole thing will become just too long.


    As I reached the 20,000 border again another phase ended. In its process I listened to a large extent of music which is generally entitled with the term "gothic" - although I would not use this one to describe it as it is much too generalizing.
    I would prefer the more specific descritptions like neoclassic and neomedieval for those bands and ensembles which are anxious to interpret authentical music pieces of a certain culture-historical period without straining the singularity by combining it with some kind of rock music (for example by using original instruments)...
    Many of these groups (like Sarband, Estampie or Kalenda Maya) play and sing early music seriously, far from some modern Pop culture, and they are often internationally recognized cooperative projects of excellent reputation - nevertheless they are heard by many people who lump them together with groups such as Helium Vola (those to despise are not, although they make sometimes even Disco Pop, but with medieval texts...), Corvus Corax or In Extremo (and I especially just abhor the last one - and nearly all of their comrades...) etc.
    What is very special about the ensemble Sarband, and what I like most about them deapite their music, is for example the fact that musicians from different countries like Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Sweden, Great Britain, Italy and Germany perform together. They have an enormous Early Music repertoire and interpret European historically informed performances combined mediterranean traditions, especially concerning the Ottoman Empire, as it stands as an ideal of a culturally developed, tolerant political unity of many different peoples and religions.
    Kalenda Maya were very special as they played, among other styles of course, Skandinavian Medieval music. They recorded a wonderful album with ballads from Norway, which have been passed on only through oral tradition and which were just recently transcribed.
    There are a lot of other bands or projects worth mentioning, although most of them don't reproduce authentically historical music - but they make beautiful neoclassical folk: Ordo Equitum Solis, the female lead-singer of which formed Trobar de Morte after OES had disbanded, or Arcana, Corde Oblique, The Moon and the Nightspirit, Camerata Mediolanense, which are quite similar to Ataraxia sometimes (and not only because Francesca Niccoli sang on one of their CDs)... Perhaps I should write an extra entry especially for my favourite neoclassical bands, I think that would make the whole thing much more clear.
    Then there are a lot of bands which music is best described as semi-classical darkfolk, apocalyptic folk, neofolk (although I find especially the last one very misleading), such bands like Death in June, Gaë Bolg and the Church of Fand, Sol Invictus, Triarii or The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, who are all more or less politically controvers as they are often interpreted as to be right-winged.
    It's obvious that I am one of those people who absolutely love female vocalists - but what does that express? Alas, this really strange tag could describe anything from Marlene Dietrich to Diamanda Galás. (Both of which I absolutely adore.) But I use it nevertheless, and I have actually no idea why... There're women to be found in my charts like Lisa Gerrard, Loreena McKennitt, Monica Richards, leadsinger of Faith and the Muse, Zarah Leander, the wonderful Soeur Marie Keyrouz - a French nun from Lebanon singing beautiful oriental cantiques comparable to Azam Ali, who also makes sacred music sometimes - and, to come to an end, Nico. Most of the bands I listen to are also female fronted, such as Dead Can Dance, The Creatures and sToa were or Qntal are. The male voices? Hm, only the neofolk bands seem to be able to enchanrt me with them...

    So, now as I just reached the 30.000, is there something to add? The wonderful and lovely Emily Loizeau entered my lists, though she can't be seen yet - I will change that soon. So we have modern pop chansons "de la nouvelle scene francaise". Two months ago I became acquainted with The Raga Dolls Salon Orchestra, a very good ensemble from one of Australia's main cities with which I was surprisingly presented. Then I discovered the phantastic Meredith Monk a few days ago, also with a little help from the other end of the world. One just cannot have enough avantgarde, especially when it is such wonderful performance-art... Oh, and, of course, Antony and the Johnsons, what a wonderful band to be found while listening to some group-tag radio-station...
    There's still just few classic to find other than Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Vivaldi and Henry Purcell, so I think I should listen to a little bit more composers - of all the different periods which are interesting for me:

    - medieval, especially the Ars antiqua (Petrus de Cruce and W. de Wycombe) and the Ars nova (Guillaume de Machaut), though I like the Trecento too...
    - renaissance (Guillaume Dufay from Burgund; Robert Parsons and Thomas Campion from England; Pierre de la Rue, Orlande de Lassus and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck from the Franco-Flemish School; Claude Le Jeune and Joachim Thibault de Courville from France; Hieronymus Praetorius from Germany; Giulio Cesare Martinengo, Alfonso Fontanelli, Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi and Giovanni Maria Nanino from Italy)
    - baroque (Girolamo Frescobaldi, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Marc Antoine Charpentier, Jean-Philipe Rameau, Domenico Scarlatti, Baldassare Galuppi, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi - to name just a few, as the Baroque is my favourite musical period...)
    - classical (Early era (born 1710-1730): Christoph Willibald Gluck, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Wenzel Anton Stamitz and Giuseppe Sarti. Middle era (born 1730-1750): Karl Ditters Von Dittersdorf, Michael Haydn and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. Late era (born 1750-1770): Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli, Joseph Martin Kraus, Luigi Cherubini, Franz Xaver Süßmayr)
    - Classical/Romantic transition (Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Niccolò Paganini, Giacomo Meyerbeer and Gaetano Donizetti)
    - romantic (Early era (born 1800-1820): Hector Berlioz, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt, Giuseppe Verdi, Jacques Offenbach. Middle era (born 1820-1840): Bedřich Smetana, Amilcare Ponchielli, Camille Saint-Saëns, Georges Bizet. Late era (born 1840-1860): Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Antonín Dvořák, Jules Massenet, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Gabriel Urbain Fauré, John Philip Sousa, Giacomo Puccini, Ruggiero Leoncavallo)

    And then there's also THE 20TH CENTURY!
    But I think I should - and will - list those composers later...

    So is this whole profile sufficiently representative now? Well, at least I guess it is...

    So, not having that much to do, and not wanting to study, I will now start copying all the artists in my iTunes library inte this journal. Of course, this will be a never-ending task, with my library updating och growing almost every day. Any way, I'll start from the top and then just keep on going.

    I will include artists I only have one track by, but not tracks with several artist contributing (If it's a "feat." track, I will only mention the main artist).

    If you notice that I'm missing out in an artist you believe I would appreciate, please tell me!

    ...and then I turned seven...

  • drunk to hell 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the Ground

    Set 20 2006, 21h49 por fyllefarsan

    Fun quizzies for boring hours! Y'all now the rules; shuffle your music and use the song-titles as answers.

    If you reached the top of Mount Everest, you would scream:
    Song: TocarLast Goodbye
    Artist: Jeff Buckley
    Comment: Hmm... that's fairly suicidal, don't you think.

    The next time you stand up in front of a group of people, you'll say:
    Song: Little Birds
    Artist: Neutral Milk Hotel
    Comment: I was hoping for something more interesting, not just two words.

    Your favorite thing to say when drunk is:
    Song: Farväl (Goodbye)
    Artist: Zarah Leander
    Comment: Once again quite suicidal. Theme, anyone?

    Your message to the world:
    Song: Om Du Bara Visste (If You Only Knew)
    Artist: Daniel Bejmar
    Comment: I like it, I could actually hear myself say that.

    When you think of your best friend you think:
    Song: När Bomberna Faller (When the Bombs Fall)
    Artist: Björn Afzelius
    Comment: Yeah, it's a lovely song, and just as revolitionary as Yakultheredelk.

    Your deepest secret:
    Song: Man Får Vara Glad Att Man Inte Är Död (One Should Be Glad That One Is Not Dead)
    Artist: Lars Demian
    Comment: That's as true as it gets, now after the election.

    Your innermost desire:
    Song: I'm the Wicked One
    Artist: The Hives
    Comment: I don't really know how that can be a desire.

    Your oldest memory makes you think:
    Song: Ibi Dreams Of Pavement (A Better Day)
    Artist: Broken Social Scene
    Comment: Maybe it was better because of me being stupid enough to believe the world was a good place.

    Somewhere in your wedding vows, you'll include:
    Song: The Living End
    Artist: The Jesus and Mary Chain
    Comment: Hahaha, grand!

    On your deathbed, you'll whisper:
    Song: Surveillance Cam
    Artist: Subdue
    Comment: It almost sounds as if I will be murdered...

    Your friends say behind your back:
    Song: Mördar-Anders (Swedish translation of The Ballad of Sam Hall
    Artist: Cornelis Vreeswijk
    Comment: Fuckers!

    You say behind your friends' backs:
    Song: Pictures in an Exhibition
    Artist: Death Cab For Cutie
    Comment: They're all so beautiful or something...

    Your opinion of MySpace:
    Song: Mother Nature's Son
    Artist: The Beatles
    Comment: What can I say, the person I stole this from got a similar answer, so it has to be divine in some way :)

    When you wake up in the morning, you mutter:
    Song: TocarRent a Wreck
    Artist: Suburban Kids With Biblical Names
    Comment: At least when I wake up with a hangover.

    If you found yourself lost on a desert island, you'd yell:
    Song: Rubby Bulbs/Snow Song, pt. 1
    Artist: Neutral Milk Hotel
    Comment: Really, what else is there to say?

    Right now, your feelings are:
    Song: Tuesday Morning
    Artist: The Pogues
    Comment: More like Wednesday evening.

    What's your excuse for reposting this:
    Song: Resa sig opp (Rise)
    Artist: Svenska Akademien
    Comment: You should all rise to the chief ;)

    Your life's soundtrack:
    Song: TocarHospital Bed
    Artist: Ben Kweller
    Comment: I have never stayed overnight in a hospital, so I can't really connect to that.

    The day you fall in love will be the day that:
    Song: TocarPromising Light
    Artist: Iron & Wine
    Comment: I'm only in love, but she has killed the light in my life.

    You scream during sex:
    Song: TocarAmbition
    Artist: Doves
    Comment: The question is: mine or hers?

    Your farewell message to the readers of this:
    Song: TocarThe Only Moment We Were Alone
    Artist: Explosions In The Sky
    Comment: Thank you for the time you spent with me :D
