Biography of the Assortment group
We hope that this will not happen. Marina Brioli: We were really waiting for mass events to open. Because all the spring, summer, autumn we play in different cities and towns, the days of the city, the days of villages, the days of oil workers, gas workers really want to go to the hundred thousandth audience and shout: “Hello, we are the group“ Assorted! Last year, this was very missing.
And now there is a kind of event, but Victoria Rada appeared different chamber: but at the same time there is a kind of fever. It is felt that people cannot fully enjoy all the entertainment. Everyone is a little afraid. Polina Hertz: I remember as soon as the peak of the pandemic ended, the artists did not have concerts at all. And we and the girls have some miraculously a concert.
We posted the video on social networks, and everyone began to write: “Where did you get concerts from? Marina Brioli: Of course, artists are one party, so everyone knows well about each other. And our team is not small, so we worried, did not collect people, because it, however, was simply dangerous for everyone. We observed all precautions. The immersion in the online continues, but is the artist possible outside it?
Can the music of the fruitful exist without access to the Internet? Probably, this can literature: one of the key writers now is Pelevin, which does not exist in any social networks. And music? Polina Romanova: Probably, maybe, but this no longer makes sense. Like it or not, thanks to social networks, we can interact with a large number of people. And it's great!
This is wonderful! So people have a greater choice, they can see many different artists. A lot of new music appears, many new young performers. That is, you have what to choose from. You can first find what you like, and then come to the concert. It is a sin not to use it. Maria Caesar: But such people about whom you said, who are not on social networks, then this is a certain religion.
But still, basically, our modern world makes us live according to certain canons. Thanks to social networks, people have a greater choice, they can see many different artists. Maria Caesar: Yes! There are "laws of show business." Of course, there are artists who do not need Internet platforms, people may come to such artists without it. But, I think, the modern world dictates other rules.
Polina Hertz: And, most importantly, do you like it? Polina Hertz: Of course! We even have a tiktlo. XXI century, how else. Victoria Rada: Previously, strange things spoke about Instagram. Everything changes. And the content also changes. Even in the same Tiktock, which is new, my parents registered. And they have completely different interests, we look at different people. Time goes forward, it is important to keep up with it.
Polina Romanova: And it is important what content you shoot: either stupid, or you are in the subject, but you yourself remove it from some semantic load. What are you working on now? Polina Hertz: This year we already had a release of two new songs, “Comrade Captain” and “You are My”, which we worked on during the pandemic. We released them at the beginning of the year, because we did not want to connect with a year.
Now we are engaged in their promotion. Victoria Rada: We were very waiting for this New Year. Although, in fact, nothing will probably change, but we hope that people will change a little. What is charity for you? It happens somewhere to step over our affairs-families, children-but we will always sing in the framework of charity, for children. Is it bad? We always, from the very beginning of the creation of the group, performed at charitable events.
Marina Brioli: For example, we went to the Pokrovsky orphanage, the children were happy. And we were happy, in fact. A wonderful atmosphere, it was very cool! Polina Romanova: And why not say about it? They say that it is customary to keep silent that you are doing something related to charity. But it seems to me that you need to talk about good. Why not?
Many artists have the opportunity to contribute, share their mission into completely different areas of charity. For example, we were in military frequent military, and in military hospitals, and in children. And why not tell about it? We always do it with pleasure. This must be carried to the masses. And by their example to show what others can do the same.
Polina Hertz: I really want to tell one story. About a year ago, we went with a group to the city of Efremov, collected money for an operation to a boy. There were many artists, and there should have been three cities. But the other two cities were canceled from the locaun, and now we arrived only in Efremov. There were not very many people, we even got a little upset and began to worry.
We performed, left. And after about six months I received a message to Direct. The mother of that child wrote to every girl that the money was collected and saved the child. After such moments, you understand that you are not in vain on stage, you helped, and this is a great happiness!While we can, while we have time, while everything is for this, we are always ready to help.
Marina Brioli: We always, from the very beginning of the creation of the group, performed at charitable events. And always all were for: the producer, and the director, and all the participants. Maria Caesar: Unfortunately, in our country you still have to collect money on TV, on SMS, and so on, it raises some questions from artists not the richest people, but they also have the opportunity and heart to give their creativity and help collect these amounts.
Polina Romanova: In Russia, charity activities are quite actively conducted, and people who have powerful means, businessmen are often actively engaged in her. How do you recover and fill up with a resource state? Polina Hertz: So long ago there was no weekend! For me, the perfect day off is to fly somewhere and just lie on sand, not pebbles, but sand. Maria Caesar: There is such an excellent concept that actively entered our circulation not so long ago - procrastination.
In fact, how much this word is fashionable, so much it is forever. And artists are a huge confirmation, because a creative person, he is a creative person in Africa. It can often be a little relaxed. How do I recover? In fact, all this comes with time. When you are convinced of some years that you have missed a lot of opportunities and spent a lot of time, it comes to understanding that you should not do this anymore, not spend more than this precious time.
And you can get up early, put it less for tomorrow. I will say this: I still have not found a specific answer and a gold recipe.
