Andrey Gorin Biography

It was the album of the “Tin Soldiers” group and it was called “Reasoning”. Despite the philosophical name, it was a real rock and roll. In Russian, original, with pure, high -quality music, strong vocal and deep texts. About how Soviet rockers combined the underground life in the basement on Sokol and the recording of the soundtracks on Soyuzmultfilm, about the parallel worlds of that time, the leader of the “tin soldiers” Andrei Gorin spoke to the VM columnist.

Recently, he became a participant in the joint show project “VM” and the production center Igor Sandler “Square Square”. We can say that you are the same age as Soviet rock. How did it all begin? It was a year. I ensured that in the school - the office, which supplied schools with boards and desks, a shock installation and an electric guitar appeared. I went to the director and said that our Moscow school will become the most advanced and rock and roll.

We even acted on television as the "Ensemble of the School." The ensemble was like this: a clarinet, a button accordion, a double bass, a guitar and drums. All the guys studied at a music school, but I started it, no. My story with a music school is very funny. Iva Montana often twisted at our house, it was very popular then. And I just sang him by heart, not knowing French.

My parents, of course, were stunned and dragged me in the first grade to the music, but for some reason they offered me a violin, which I categorically refused. And then they decided to determine me to the teacher. But I was not capable of playing gamma. Yes, and engage in diligently - too: it was necessary to undermine the train on Potlikha with the guys. The train, of course, was blown up, fascists poured from it, whom we finished off from machine guns and machine guns.

So I had no time to sit for the notes at that time. But the teacher once came to my parents and begged them: give me this child, I will deal with him for free. The fact is that I asked her to play the plays, and immediately repeated them by ear. But I was adamant and refused. She really worried me. Beautiful, with inlay. I am Tyr-Pyr, nothing happens, but they have already played in the yards.

I took the guitar, went into the yard. I mastered the class to the fourth, I realized that the success of the girls was ensured. They sang completely one blades, really. I could choose anything, but I lacked chords, applications. But you know, when a person wants, he finds. I tried why it turns out fun, and so sad. I was terribly interested. And then the dad from Riga brought the “speedle” - a short -wave receiver.

I twisted, twisted - and suddenly, through a crack, I heard what was bent. And he began to spend a lot of time with this receiver. I knew that with a matchbox if you play, a completely different sound is obtained. There were many experiments in the yard. At that time, they had already begun to break the phones in the booths - they made electric guitars just, taking out the capsule from the tube and screwing it to the acoustic guitar.

We realized that there is a bass gitar, but there are no such strings. They faded from the piano, and when they pulled onto the guitar, she bend her arc. They went through experiments. He hummed endlessly in English, not understanding anything. Then our bassist had a tape recorder with several paths, and in the year we recorded a magnetic album. Sitting in the basement on the falcon. This and subsequent albums diverged throughout the country, they were rewritten from each other.

It never occurred to anyone. Decent people recorded records at the company "Melody", where it was necessary to play what was supposed to. It was very fun, a real fountain of inspiration. And people liked it, although we were engaged in music for ourselves. They believed that they needed to work by profession, were not ready to vegetate wipers and watchmen for the sake of art?

Maybe the desire to attach these brains was. And the music was an outlet. We lived in two parallel worlds. Terrible things were happening. Both concerts prohibited and arrested equipment.

Our songs were not flooded, not to mention the English texts that we performed. And when I went to lick our texts in some kind of cultural management, I was surprised that it was my song “Distribution Pipe” that caused a stupor at the commission. There were such words: "The side was dented, the paint was peeled, the janitor forgot you for a long time." They told me that such a text cannot be performed: “Our party is that it does not care about the pipes?

We did not fight the regime, but simply created our parallel world. It was fun there, amazing friends and friends came there, there they drank what they managed to scrape on this day, and everything happened absolutely freely. It was rock and roll. But we lived a double life. And then they got married, and there were three lives. Here is an elementary example for you. I worked in a star town.

It was very interesting for me to engage in simulators for astronauts. We came up with a lot there, I am proud of it, and awarded, I must say. But in order to work in a star town, you had to be a member of the party. And my team is normal people, among whom there were professionals of the highest class, it was also in a certain sense a parallel world, says, they say, come on, they will clean the ranks here - we must enter.I did not want to part with this work.

Here, fortunately, anonymous anotics fell on me. But my colleagues-Frights put on all their orders and went to the district committee to beat me off. I begged - no. But in the end, they accepted me the same. Continued to play? And he called his colleagues to concerts. How did you not cover you with your basement at all? For example, somehow the Komsomol there invited us to Severodvinsk.

For a minute so. They have already come there. And we played in a cafe, at institutes. There was such a form - a dance evening. Nobody studied in a musician? And it turns out, without status, the path to official music was closed? I think because of the voice. Someone walked in this way, went on tour, collected stadiums, halls. And there were very sophisticated guys.

We recorded a lot of music there quite officially, we were indicated in the credits. Our music sounds in the cartoons "Casket with a secret", "Stadium", "Well, wait a minute! Remember, “The priest had a dog”? We brought phonograms, we ourselves attached them to record the same tape recorder in the same basement. The engineers were. For example, I sold all guitar lotions myself.

Once we were invited by director Sergei Yutkevich, who was making his avant -garde film “Mayakovsky” in the year. He wanted to take him off for a very long time, it was his swan song.
