The biography of the novel of the mind

When the war in the Donbass began, he threw a comfortable life, went to the war to defend his small homeland and even shot a film about women-military. Now he is perhaps the most popular singer in the Donbass. Roman Reason - poet, composer, singer. The head of the military-music ensemble "Novorossia", the guard lieutenant of the second motorized rifle brigade of the LPR. My childhood was happy.

I did not starve, did not need anything, although the parents were not rich. Father as an engineer at the factory all his life, mother-dentist. At the same time, she all her life in music, she graduated from a music school. The piano stood at home and she sang songs in the evenings, played. I did not observe from the father of creative impulses. He is more technical, strict, his hands are golden.

I did everything in the yard, repairs - cut off, screw it on the keys from childhood. Everything that could extract sounds attracted me. Even buckets. I took the buckets, turned it over and pierced the whole bottom. Plastic buckets. Sticks from the old crib took and beat. In the yard. They were not visible, and when the father was collecting water, the water flowed and my father beat me for it.

I was from the first grade years in the children's choir. School number 14 of the city of Lugansk. Just a month later, I became the soloist of this choir, since I had a good hearing and a sonorous voice. They performed a lot in cities, cultural houses. I stood in front, a choir behind me and I was bursting with pride from the fact that I can sing, solo. Since there was a piano at home, I constantly tried to play something, pick up some melodies.

Mom showed how chords are being built. I listened to the music that my parents listened to: Vysotsky, Pugacheva, Antonov, Celentano such a popular epic. I liked to listen and sing it, one of my favorite songs was "Earth in the Illuminator." We had a microphone, Babin, a device on which my father recorded me. It would be interesting now to find and listen to your children's voice.

Already at the age of 12, he began to think about creating his group. I fell asleep with a tape recorder in bed.

Near his ear he stood with me. Then I fell in love with metallic - this was a turning point in my life. I played the guitar for days. A friend taught me. I was struck by the song "Nothing Else Matters", I wanted to learn how to play it. This prompted me to a more serious development of the guitar. I am a self -taught. My friend and I at that moment decided that we were metallists.

They began to let go of the hair. Metallica has become for us a symbol of high -quality music. Beautiful performance, images. For us there were no heroes soldiers and warriors, winners. Now I realize that we were specially enslaved by Western culture then. At that time. I can’t say that this did not affect my life well. But this is a fact. For us, the heroes were Stolo, the Schwarzneger posters hung at home.

The new generation should grow on new heroes. Now I would not want my son, when he grows up, in the room he made American actors in his idols. I will impose on him so that Pasha Dremov, Lyosha Mozgova, Soviet heroes, a pilot who planted a plane in corn, hang in his room. So that the new generation grew on new heroes. For us, Metallica has become a symbol and we fell in love. They began to imitate and dream, and imagined that we could also be like that.

Once in the entrance, my friend Dima and I vowed to each other that we would tear metal. The scale of the dream was laid at the age of 14. Everything, from that moment, not a step back. There is no foot. I had an earring in my ear, I grew my hair to my shoulders. He could not continue: his father did not allow, forced him to cut off and remove the earring. He said, if you do not take off, I put her with my father with my ear.

Parents did not want to see us with a friend as we wanted. They did not see anything useful in this. And I wanted. He cut off his hair, took off the earring, but he continued to listen to the music. In 15 years, changes occurred. I heard the spell, Zemfira, the mummy of the troll. My first group was created at the age of 14. With Dima Ratikhin and two more guys. The rehearsal base was on the fourth floor in the fifth school.

The first drum and the first guitar. I begged my parents to buy a guitar on my knees. Bought it to me. I did not sleep for two days. She stood in front of my eyes in the room, and I will only close my eyes, and it seems to me that she is not. I’ll open it, but it stands. That is, it is complete nonsense. It was incredibly cool. It was difficult to find a good tool, a guitar.

It was a year. There was nothing in the stores. We had one music store and we came there as a museum. There is no money or the opportunity to buy. They made a group. They began to rehearse. I started writing songs. I came up with the first song at the age of 15. It was called the "queen of fire." Such a civilian lyrics. He wrote rhymes at 16, when Spleen began to listen to Zemfira, Radiohead.

He listened excitedly. We performed, began to play easier music, rock. Like SPLIN.
