News. Welcome to Russia but. Welcome to global be sauced 2nd exploring the country's new music scene and James Canarsie . Will be meeting for feisty female artists one of whom describes herself as a Russian Hora fairy tale character at 1st I was like screaming and a lot of guys what the hell why she's screaming she can sing she's a girl she should be beautiful and nice and she can't express herself in any different way. But also be hearing about the importance for Russian musicians of close contacts with the wider world I was chosen as a 1st Russian artist to be a part of the musical program in a night of states called Swan beat this actually the experience that changed my life I'm discovering how here in Russia the worlds of classical and popular music on so far apart either. If you come to a contemporary music concerts. Or in London the average age of the fifty's and sixty's situation is really different here here it's saying we are the hip people when we mentor you go to you know. Just to tell. You virtues not the group it is a lover could you tell us what you think. This is a track called Mom Dot multi-talented musician. Of the past few years his original electronic creations and improvised performances have gained him an international reputation he puts his soul into his music but also in a very physical way his body generating sound with his movements but he recently set up a school in Moscow to teach electronic composition to body thieves. Hear it and I said. Right now this is a. Hello my name is on there. We're sitting now in sound studio where I teach my students how to write music how to make art. Actually my career start in 2013 and in 2 years I already played on the big festivals around the world. It's not a common story especially if about Russian I just thought that maybe it could be a mission for me just to explain people that are interest free world and you can do whatever you want if you really want to do this it's nothing to be scared of. How did you become an artist I think it began when I was trailed I like to listen to some fairy tales and been ill for a coffee or on the wall of course it's one of my favors and then I just realize that music makes something special with me I just feel it in some special ways like I just love it and so where did you grow up I grew up in Moscow Aires criminal area actually. And who comes here will disappear. Yeah and I disappear actually after a few years left my family and moved to another area and then. I finished my 1st university as economist then I finished my 2nd university as a sound engineer and start to work on 2 jobs but the 2nd was not a job that my main job was a sales manager or grinding machines spare parts for wood graining machines and evening time and night time I spent for music trying to make something that I laugh . And that eventually took you to America yet this actually the experience that changed my life it was in 2012 and I was chosen as the 1st Russian artist to be a part of their musical program United States called one beat they got there's a 30 musicians who are on the world so I was among the really talented Felos from South Korea or from Nigeria from Venus well and we were making bands playing together and then had a tour from Orlando to New York with stops and different C.D.'s him playing in the bar scene museum scene there art galleries tell us about the international aspects of your work as you say you've performed at lots of festivals and events around the world how important is it to get out of Russia and to travel and to get different musical influences it's important for me I mean really ambitious guy different cancerous help musicians to travel around they cover this expenses because they're in countries they're interesting to spread its culture around the world and it's beautiful and Russia doesn't do this why do you think that is why does the Russian state not want to promote its artists internationally they care about different things and these things are not about the art and not about the people they're more about their money the power and this whole it's enough for them why do you think that there isn't much openly political music why isn't that even though there's a lot of frustration amongst the young generation Why do people not write political songs. It's Kerry you could have a problems. We have some experience and few years ago when Mineta force the president it's a market in which the Immigration is a brand machinery me it's one of the best Russians bents ever in he was close to the president and a few years ago he just started something like critic me in said some critics to their government and in one second he started had really big problems with the concert with the geeks in just one second he became air traitor because how could you say something better about Russia when the whole world against Russia just takes one very public example like that and people get your message Sure sure they're not stupid they know how to to make people quieter. Anton Maskil yada Well after school Anton invited me to an add on guard classical concert before and Buddy Kimathi consomme bowl and featuring a piece by one of his former students Gania never Sakena she also calls itself Jenny and Jekka for her pop songs. It's just interesting it went I just can't miss it it's not all fun and such a things happen in Moscow these a classical reinterpretations of electronic music read the classical interpretation of a try to get. A My name is Jenny and electronic musician produces songwriter and I play and the name Jekka tell us about your piece that we heard this evening and well this is my 1st time writing anything for a music ensemble and I'm not really familiar with working with acoustic instruments so that was like super stressful because you have to know how each instrument plays and how it can be played and in the alternative way so it was a real challenge for me to do something tell us about Moscow as a city to be creative in is it does it inspire you I think it adds inspires a lot of very sad music very depressive music because a well. It's a very depressive city I don't know all of my friends are definitely depressed all the time even when they have like a moment of signing our base they're still kind of depressed and what depresses and what why this mass depression. I don't know I think that's the general mood Moscow mood is kind of like you know Mordor. From Lord Of The Rings kind of like very dark place and very brooding the Seems like a pretty special evening I mean for people listening. What is what is the scene like in Moscow What's the electronic music scene how would you describe it oh it's bubbling buzzing everything really Moscow has a sensational number of absolutely talented electronic musicians and with the tronic production schools opening up more and more people are getting into it much faster some people have suggested that clubs and places like that are having a lot of trouble than those been a bit of pressure from the authorities to close things down are you finding that yes sure I mean it's very hard to get support from the government mostly clubs open up send me illegal Yeah it's very hard to get past the legislation and just. To open some place which. Has some more kind of than sub culture music or underground music it's very difficult to get like financial support for music festivals you usually have to go to some brands mostly the whole brands so yeah it's not easy definitely and it's because the government's just a bit nervous of of young people doing things that it doesn't quite understand or. Can control definitely definitely is that and also because Russia has a certain cultural policy which is more about traditions and traditional music and they actively support that just like really pushing it into every festival every like. City celebration and I mean they're just simply bombarding with these traditional values and they're not really open to kind of contemporary styles and the. Global political situation makes a difference if you think people look at Russia this is me now. I really would like to saying that culture and politics are sort of more separate than together I mean of course one influences the other but still I would like for people to kind of not look at what I do Putin is saying because he isn't speaking for the whole nation you know that plenty of people who are in opposition you know it's like now with Trump as well you can't really say that all Americans are so bad because Trump is such an idiot next. Jacka and this is a track story. Fit and a good. Time to. Get it. Jacka with Kenya story this is global base with me James Kim Our saw me now long before I started presenting news out here on the b.b.c. World Service I lived in Moscow and I actually d.j. Down a Russian radio station back in the 1990 s. So checking up on today's music scene has been something of a nostalgia trip so this is a little vinyl record still cold they said he wasn't here when I lived in Moscow since the Center on the window painted all the different genres that they've got if this go. In the game so if I saw fit 5 Russian. Russian rock in here for the. Records that I bought in fact yes very 1st. They were a band very popular in the late Soviet period so. This is what we're interested in the new Russians. Right at the front. Of the new Russian. It here on this program. I'm driving through Moscow now and as I sit here with a bag of Violet brings back a memory from when I used to live in Moscow in the early ninety's there was one rather unfortunate day when I was in a cab and I had a huge bag of vinyl I paid the driver got out with a sinking feeling I realise I'd left my vinyl and some of it pretty rare in this car so I had no idea who this guy was all I know is he has a pretty good record collection now. Well I arrived with records safely in hand downtown café wide arranged to meet. The post-punk band Lynne shake with guitarist. But. She says. She also records as a solo artist a different vibe and a different name Kate and the. Sound as Kate envy has been described as evoking every. Thing from Japanese pop to Bjork to Lorianne this and you may be surprised what Kate thinks is the most significant influence on the music lots of things changed once I got. In late sixty's colors cause you composer from England Stockhausen a student made a scratch August or a it's not history of the tourists but those who really wanted to play music because he believed that anyone can play music anything can sound anything and become an instrument so he wrote a constitution and you know for the for the track and he wrote a piece called The Great Learning and somehow it happened that in Moscow if you composers and musicians they played a concert they just invited random people from the concert to join the next one to play as a scratch August recess and it completely changed my life because like before that it will really hurt the need to improvise with people like some people take l.s.d. And I participate is question orchestra so it's really changed my whole like the way that music it's really hard to learn something new like play knowing 228 and like the only way to exist to make music is just being honest with yourself and listening carefully to what your heart and soul says and I just realized that before that moment when we switched to Russian language we were kind. Of were not honest with ourselves you know because your initial recordings were in English yeah yeah there was a thing like English is the international language lots of people speak English and we thought that probably it will help us to get more audience which is say right now it is like when we switched to another language over on like native language we got more attention than ever before. And I want to talk too much about politics but obviously affects the whole kind. Tensions international tensions as a Russian officer play a lot of road he recalls just come back from recording a new album in Cologne in Germany does it concern you are you worried about what impact it might have on your career. It's pretty complicated I don't know you know like 2 years ago maybe into 2015 I was very. Scared of the financial crisis just how the Russia and everything became really expensive and I really felt like all of my friends they started like immigrate to Canada and. Really And then when Jodi was so dark the was was so unhealthy and dark and I remember me and then you know we talked a lot about this stuff and he was like the only thing you can do right now is just work harder I mean I'm not a position and. If I can help like someone to understand something and to feel the same way I feel by making art. Then I should be all right this is like the best thing I can do. To try and be I'm not truck is cold spells. This is global beats from Russia we'll be back in a few minutes. This is the b.b.c. World Service Now here's something to think about when someone has a brilliant idea it can be like switching on a light bulb. But then they have to prove that with intensive research we have data from many parts of the world in China Southeast Asia Africa Europe us if painstaking observation do the monkeys pay attention to things like price at a time to maximize their marquee token dollar and even then they're not always believed people fault the people who promote the kind of ideas that are on promoting are either stupid ignorant megalomanic or all those things together the light bulb moment to big idea I'm David Edmonds and I'll be talking to people with new ways of thinking about all worlds the big idea at b.b.c.
