«ÀtmÀsfera» from higher sphere

When music is felt via body, not only via ears, it doesn't necessarily point out on its volume. During «AtmAsfera» concert which plays the mixture of ethno with world music, many people «fly away» and come back to their bodies only when the sound is off. «I felt that life is not so hopeless and I can wake up in the morning and start doing something without thinking how all this got me», - such letters come very often to the members of the band from many cities.

     - Nastya, Yulya, your voices are very much alike. Don't they confuse you on the phone?

     Yulya: My husband confuses our voices very often.

     Nastya: I take the receiver… and then: «Svyatoslav, wait a second, it is not Yulya».

     - Your album has been recorded. Is it true that it will be issued in America?

     N.: Where did you get this information?..

     Andrey: Maybe, but something clear will be known later on.

     - The disc was made two years ago, why it has not been issued?

     À.: Last year we made a small number of CD on the rights of demo version … You know yourself how it is with piracy discs. We would like to get copyright on music and discs, so for the moment this issue is pending.

     - People who write music are without a doubt successful people. What would you like to say with your music?

     N.: I have been playing for a long time. Before I had quite a different point of view. But it changed on the third year of studying, when I was dissapointed in my aims and dreams, although I managed to achive them to some degree. I always wanted to offer something to people, I wanted to reach out to them in some way. But I saw that I didn't manage to do that thru classic music that I played. Maybe not at this time?

      - There were times when you played rock music. Why do you concentrate on ethno music now?

     Yulya: People react better on ethno music performed by us.

     Àndrey.: But we will play art rock also.

     Yulya.: Simply in art rock I didn't find either my voice, or my manner of playing apart from ethno music, although we didn't stop our reportoir on it.

     - You sing in ukrainian, english and sanscrit. Which of us knows sanscrit?

     Àndrey.: None of us.

     Yulya: We learnt sanscrit a bit, but we can only speak it...Sanscrit is the origin of all languages and it brings the uniting chain in itself. And it is very pleasant to hear, it is melodic and very unusual. I haven't heard anyone singing in sanscrit in Ukraine.

     - Where did you learn sanscrit?

     Yulya.: There are books in sanscrit with translation, so we learnt from them.

     Àndrey.: We take very ancient texts. For example, one of the songs that we sing is considered to be the first song in the universe.

     - What will a new member of the band, Timur, say?

     Timur: When I came into the band, I was impressed by their behavior and all the myths that they are satanists were gone. (Wild laughter.) We were united by a very good person who is not here now, unfortunately, he is in Poland, his name is Taras. I understood how to talk to the band member thanks to him – you should talk like this (he cries out very loudly): «Don't wake up Taras  in me». So in such a way we come to consensus. In most cases of course I am not right, but certainly women are not right even more so…

     - Did Georgian blood speak now in you?

     Timur.: Yeah, Georgian… Now we will talk about ukrainian: I like lard, but I will stop eating it because it is a very white product, and I was grown up in Africa. There was lard also, but it was dark, because it was dirty. They didn't clean anything, And in fact I didn't clean my body at all and up to 20 years old I was sure that I am negro untill they washed me...But we will finish this interview on this point, because I don't want to tell any other details of my sinful life. Goodbye, dear friends...Turn it off.
