Biography of Kalinov

The main author and vocalist was Revyakin, most of the melodic and arranging solutions belonged to Selivanov, perhaps one of the most non -trivial -thinking guitarists of domestic rock. In this composition, the group, at the invitation and recommendations of Konstantin Kinchev, made its first touring trip to Leningrad, where she gave two concerts in the Leningrad Youth Palace as part of the Rock-Dialog program.

Kalinov Bridge immediately attracted attention-and thought out arrangements, and mature, smart texts, and an amazing alloy of real rhythm end-Blue with a purely Russian folklore principle. The strong side of the group has always been a great sound. It begins to actively invite him to tour, intensively popularize both official and independent press. He becomes one of the most impressive examples of the so -called "national" or neopoline rock.

It is interesting that in the work of the group during this period, intonations, characteristic of DORZ music, are becoming more and more, and the vocals of Revyakin change noticeably under the influence of Jim Morrison. In August, at the same time, growing contradictions lead to the departure of B. The crisis is growing almost not changing from G.. The album begun in the center remains incomplete, the Smolensk residents are again invited to the group, but after performing at the III Gorky festival, the group actually ceases to exist.

In September, G. Revyakin sang several songs under the guitar at the Rock-Asia festival in Barnaul. And even among these few groups - it is special. Especially mysterious, legendary and even mythological. Firstly, the name of the group is mythological. Such a serious, symbolic name, perhaps, has no more symbolic name none of the well-known domestic rock groups.

In Russian folk tales of Kalinov, a red -hot bridge, a fiery bridge - a place of the hero’s battle with evil spirits. This is a symbol of the struggle of good with evil, and the decisive moment of this struggle.

And it is important that Dmitry Revyakin himself, who, as befits a real poet, is very attentive to the way, is aware of the responsibility of the name adopted by the group. At different points in the history of the group, this multi -digit symbol was refracted by different faces. It was called the "Indian goddess of death of the dissolution of Kali", and the "lower solar cycle", and "struggle with oneself", and in general, any moment of initiation, the transition from one state to another.

Now Revyakin offers to understand the "Kalinov Bridge" as a "bridge from godless to God." Although the group loudly declared itself already in the GG. And there was not a single one on it! This is the second mystery. The songs were not just different, but completely different in poetics, completely incomprehensible from where the mysterious images came to the author of D.

Revyakin, the intricacies of words. And a specific melos, in which, in addition to the "blues" and "fatal" elements, ethnic motifs, shamanic chants fuel. In the next two albums, which were recorded simultaneously in the city of the sound of the albums are very different. Soft, semi -acoustic "lumber" insight and tough, electrical "Darza" challenge, boldness. The work on the album "Ulchi Belt" U - Movement, L - Love, h - honor - the way of people to harmony turned out to be long and complex.

A record number of invited musicians took part in the record - and what! But in the group itself, relations are complicated. The recording of this performance was released on the SNC called "Herbal" May. Perhaps the lightness and some “sprayed” sound, previously uncharacteristic for this command, made the “grass” the most cash register for a certain moment the album. Nevertheless, the group was in a rather tough choice: "either commercialize or die." Four musicians from Novosibirsk went along the second path.

However, the way of legend and the development of the myth did not end there. The group gathered again in the city and B was recorded by the album "Weapons" of the Orati - to plow with a plow, Zhic - to live. The song "Native" from this album still remains the hallmark of the group and often appears on the air of radio stations. In the city, even more clearly, the spiritual orientation is invariably inherent in the songs of the group.

A very interesting album, according to which you can trace the origin of the unique "Kalino -Most" style, starting with the very first song written by D. Revyakin, and ending with the amazing and piercing minute epic canvas "Cossack" dedication A. The group’s assets have several video clips, among which real works of art - “saved” and “native”, performances on radio, on television, participation in the largest domestic rock festivals “Wings”, “Invasion”.

The most organic and therefore successful for the Siberians was the festival "in the mountains, on the fast river" Gorny Altai, p. Katun, as a result of which a concert album was released - Katun calls the current stage in the development of the group Dmitry Revyakin.The album "SWA" Su is an ancient, fire -forming root, which, translated from Sanskrit means - "ego", "essence" is a cycle of lyrical songs "about the relationships of sexes in eschatological times" - according to Dmitry, the album carries a hidden message - an increase in the birth rate, improving the demographic situation in Russia.

The album was recorded for five years, just so much has passed since the release of the previous "ore". And not in vain. Sound, poetry, music - everything is at the highest level. Songs that raise the nobility of feelings. Messianic motifs unfold and intensify. On this wave, the group has already prepared a new album - the Ice campaign. Revyakin does not hide that this is a direct indication of the same historical event of the time of the Civil War, and this refers to the great Siberian ice campaign - the retreat of the remnants of Kolchak’s army in Transbaikalia.

The leader of the group sees the revival of Russia from the east, from Siberia, where the inexhaustible human and natural potential is still ripening and from where the "new pioneers" is so called one of the songs. It is felt that Dmitry, as a poet and prophet, felt for Ariadne’s thread, sensed a fresh wind and is ready to catch him in his sails. We are waiting for the transformation, a new step and a new light in front.

The myth lives, the legend continues, and each listener takes part in this. The composition of the group today: Dmitry Revyakin is an acoustic guitar, Viktor Chaplygin vocals - drums, percussion.
