What the picnic group sings about. Brief biography of the rock band Picnic

"Roadside Picnic" evolved into "Picnic" on stage. The musicians of the famous Russian rock band chose the name for it under the influence of the work of the Strugatsky brothers. This book, as you know, impressed Andrei Tarkovsky as well. The director shot the film "Stalker" based on the work. The musicians did not recreate storyline books, but only brought to their work the mystery and mysticism inherent in the "Roadside Picnic".

This is probably why many fans of rockers are sure that the leader is fond of magic. After the concerts, Edmund Shklyarsky is given not only applause, but also books with spells and descriptions of various rituals. The singer does not dissuade the audience, but, as he admitted in an interview with MK.RU Vladivostok, he gets rid of presents. In fact, Edmund is not a magician, and he is afraid of spiritualism. This is just a couple interesting facts about the picnic. The rest of the surprises will be included in the outline of biographical and creative references.

Biography of the group "Picnic"

"Picnic" - group, based on the basis of the Polytechnic Institute of Leningrad. The team was formed in 1978 from university students. Cooperation began with the amateur theater of the institute, and in 1989 the first serious performance took place at a student festival. Here the musicians felt the taste of success and began to give underground concerts. They were held not only in St. Petersburg, but also in Moscow.

However, the official founding date of the team is 1981. Then the permanent frontman and ideological inspirer Edmund Shklyarsky joined the musicians. It was he who inspired the guys to experiment with electronic music. Computer samples made group songs "Picnic" special . In addition, it was in 1981 that the band performed on the stage of the Leningrad Rock Club, in the creation of which the musicians actively participated.

Started with a fervent rock and roll. By the mid-90s, they came to a special style, the originality of which is expressed, as a rule, in a non-standard selection of instruments. Not only traditional Russian rock drums, guitars, keyboards are used, but also folk instruments, as well as symphonic techniques. What are they? Let's take discography as an example. There are a lot of albums, because the band is still active today.

Discography of the group "Picnic"

The band has 21 albums. The first of them was released a year after the opening of a rock club in Leningrad. The magnetic plate was called "Smoke". The song of the same name was written by Shklyarsky. He became interested in oriental culture, which was reflected in the ambiguity of texts and the use national instruments Asia.

In studio albums of the group "Picnic" includes "Dance of the Wolf" from 1984. This time Edmund was the author of not a few, but all the songs on the disc. The result was compositions in a medieval style, close to Gothic. Such an unusual rock caused heated discussions and added to the team of fans.

In 1986, the album "Hieroglyph" was released. Soloist of the group "Picnic" created 12 compositions. First, they recorded their live version, then a studio version, and in 1987 they changed the order of the tracks and their duration. So, it turned out 3 versions of one plate.

The year 1988 was marked by the release of the album "Coming from Nowhere". This record was sold not only in Russia, but also in Sweden. But the next album of 1992 "Harakiri" remained within the country, although it was recognized as one of the leading ones in the band's discography.

In 1994 rock band "Picnic" pleases fans with the disc “A Little Fire”. There is really little rocker "fire" in the compositions. Texts are accompanied organ music, the standard keyboards are replaced by a grand piano. The sounds are ascetic, but sublime.

In 1995, the team was inspired by the story of Count Dracula. The album "Vampire Songs" appeared. They are diverse, since they were written not only by Shklyarsky. And here are the texts of "Gen-Seng" of 1996 only by Edmund. But, at concerts, these compositions almost do not sound. They have a lot of electronic music that is difficult to recreate live, and that's how it plays group "Picnic".

Photo on the cover of the next album, "Glass" resembles a stylized eye. This is a symbol of a look into the soul, the desire to know being and convey its fragility. In 1997, Shklyarsky added more mystery to his work, naming the next disc “Drink Electricity” and writing down a certain Mo sect as co-authors. Later, Edmund confesses that this is a fictitious organization.

Back in the spotlight in 2001 group "Picnic". "Egyptian"- an album discussed not only by fans, but by all Russians. The disc became the hallmark of the rockers, because it contained the song "Purple and Black", which got into most of the radio rotations. This also applies to the composition "Egyptian".

The 2002 album "Alien" has become traditional for "Picnic" - the songs are slow and melodic. The 2003 "speaks and shows" record revealed to the world the band's early but never released songs. Surprised and "shadow of the vampire" in 2004. On this disc, Vadim Samoilov from Agatha Christie plays along and sings along with the musicians.

The 2005 album "Kingdom of Curves" revealed to the world the song of the same name, which became the soundtrack to the popular TV series. In 2007, the disc Obscurantism and Jazz was released and ... again became a symbol of the series. The film is called The Law of the Mousetrap. The soundtrack to it is called "From the Mousetrap".

"Iron Mantras" of 2008 was accompanied by as many as 8 clips. In 2010, the Theater of the Absurd was released, consisting of 11 compositions. In 2011, Three Fates went on sale, and in 2012, Singer of Decadence went on sale. So the rock band celebrated its 30th anniversary. After an important date, the album "Outlander" was released. So far, this is the last album that has been released. group "Picnic". 2015 th year is devoted to concert activity. Let's talk about its features.

Concert activity of the group "Picnic"

"Picnic" concert always presents as something theatrical performance. Musicians try to make shows, not just perform songs. Tours in the cities of Russia and abroad are carried out almost after each album. Therefore, in many cities, rockers have been met more than once. For example, the team travels to Primorye almost every year. True, Edmund Shklyarsky does not favor fans. He personally admitted this in several interviews. "We are from different worlds"- said the artist. “Those who like our work are rarely close to me in spirit,” the singer added. Do colleagues agree with him? We learn this, but at the same time, and full squad.

The composition of the group "Picnic"

Shklyarov's associates include 3 people: Leonid Kirnos, Stanislav Shklyarsky and Marat Korchemny. The first one sings and plays the guitar. Edmund's son is a vocalist and keyboardist. Marat is responsible for the bass guitar. All three, like the leader of the team, are slightly removed from the public. But, this adds mystery to the creators, and it is she who is one of the reasons for the popularity of rockers.

Finally, let's say a few words about the past picnic group. A game The collective in different years was decorated with the participation of almost 30 musicians outside the list. All of them are former members of the team. He, like most bands, changed the composition more than once and even completely disintegrated. But for now, "Picnic" is like a phoenix, always rising from the ashes.

Not every team that appeared on the domestic stage can boast of longevity and the status of a legend. One of those that survived on the stage in spite of everything is the group "Picnic". It is simply amazing how popular one can be both during the strict Soviet regime and during the period of complete freedom and lack of censorship that characterize the following years. However, this is a fact. Several generations have loved and appreciated "Picnic". The group became an example for their younger followers. We will talk about it in our article.

History of appearance

The group "Picnic" appeared in the very center of culture and free-thinking of the USSR - the city on the Neva - St. Petersburg. The band's first name was Orion. That is how the first two participants called themselves at the very beginning of their joint work. Then the name changed to "Picnic". The group became what it is now, thanks to the fateful meeting of two talented personalities.

Edmund Shklyarsky, the permanent soloist of the group, simply could not help but meet with Yevgeny Voloshchuk, the organizer of Orion. In a short time, one of the turning points in the history of the Piknik ensemble comes. The group breaks up, and Ed Shklyarsky leaves it along with drummer Ali Bakhtiyarov.

And only in 1981 the team unites again in the already final composition. Then comes the first popularity. Musicians become laureates of the rock festival. Popularity in wide circles comes through the album of the group "Picnic" "Smoke", which finally consolidates the desire of the participants to enter the professional stage.

Obstacles and Victories

Like many rock bands of that period, the Piknik group was blacklisted as being inconsistent with Soviet ideology. It just happened that no one could have expected. After the first tour, it turns out that there are no empty seats in the halls. This is surprising, since more than 200 cities were visited by the band members on their tour. At the same time, there was not a single word about them in the media!

The second problem was the crisis of 1989, when half of its members left the group due to growing ambitions. You have to play in a different team. However, literally a year later the band is restored, and a series of albums and performances continues. The death in a car accident of drummer Ali Bakhtiyarov deeply shocked everyone who loves the work of the Piknik collective. The band, however, once again proved that, after any hard times, they will perform and create new works. And so it continues up to the present day. The albums of the Picnic group each time find their grateful listeners, and concerts never take place in an empty hall.

Soloist and group leader

It is very rare when there is a person in the team who has been in the composition from the very beginning, has not left the group and has not even tried to leave the project. One of these rare bands is "Picnic". The group has its own unique personality thanks to its leader Ed Shklyarsky.

Born initially in a family that is not alien to any creativity, the young guy simply did not have a chance not to fall in love with music and connect his life with it. He is not only a soloist, whose voice has become an integral part of the image of the group - Shklyarsky is also a leader, uniting a team around him, a composer and author of many songs. In addition, he is a multi-instrumentalist. We can say that this is a unique personality. The Picnic group, whose photo can be seen in the article, is invariably proud of this participant with any composition. The team has a lot of fans.

Direction of music and style

From the very beginning, the Picnic group was able to create an areola of mystical romance around itself, which attracts young fans and loyal fans. Their work is a mixture of rock and Russian traditions of folklore sound. All this sounds in the frame of folk and symphonic instruments giving a fundamentally new sound.

For lovers of the intellectual component in music, the lyrics of the songs are filled with a lot of irony and philosophy that distinguishes "Picnic". The group strives to preserve its style, not succumbing to fashion trends. Perfectly complements and collects the image of their appearance. Black suits with inscribed runes sunglasses- this is the style that the Piknik group invariably follows. Photos from last year and photos taken five years ago will allow you to know at a glance who is depicted in them. In all this lies the constant success and for many years.

Musicians believe that a professional and full-fledged group was formed in 1981, when Edmund Shklyarsky became the leader of the group.

The band's music, having its roots in Russian rock, has progressed into an original, offbeat style using symphonic, keyboards and exotic folk instruments.

According to Shklyarsky, “the usual environment of the group is the Russian-speaking audience. It doesn't make sense to sing in other languages. In Poland they sing in Polish, in England they sing in English, and we sing in Russian. And that's okay!"

1978-1981

The group was formed in September 1978 in Leningrad from students of the Polytechnic University who played in the amateur group Orion. In 1981, the first composition of "Picnic" broke up - Evgeny "Jacques" Voloshchuk (bass guitar) and Alexei Dobychin (vocals) were left alone. Voloshchuk invited a member of the Labyrinth group Edmund Shklyarsky (vocals, guitar, piano) to the vacant position of the guitarist. Edmund did not come alone, but together with Alexander Saveliev ( acoustic guitar) and Ali Bakhtiyarov (drums). The debut of Edmund Shklyarsky took place at one of the concerts of the Leningrad Rock Club.

1982-1983

In 1982, "Picnic" recorded its first magnetic album "Smoke" at Andrey Tropillo's studio. The original version of the album included the songs "Disc Jockey" and "Who is silent a lot", which were excluded from the track list in reissues. Also, for various reasons, such songs as “Bicycle”, “For the Innocently Killed” (released later on the album “A Little Fire”) and some other songs did not get into “Smoke”. The title of the album was proposed by Andrei Tropillo and was accepted without much discussion. The order of compositions was determined by a simple alternation of "fast-slow" and "from strong to weak." Initially, the album was not supposed to have a cover, even a "virtual" one. In 1993, "Smoke" was not only re-released on CD, but also rewritten in the studio by musicians of the first line-up specially assembled for this purpose.

In the autumn of 1982 - the first public presentation of records in the club "Phonograph" in the Leningrad Palace of Youth.

In 1984, the group split. "Picnic", in which only Shklyarsky and Savelyev remain, leaves the Leningrad rock club. After that, for two years the group did not have a permanent composition.

Late autumn at the same studio of Andrei Tropillo, Shklyarsky and Savelyev, with the support of session musicians Sergei Voronin (keyboards), Vladimir Sizov (bass guitar) and Alexander Fedorov (drums), recorded their second album, Wolf Dance. The album turned out to be full of gloomy images and dramatic plots, inspired by the gothic stories of Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne, and musically close to the aesthetics of baroque rock.

Since 1985, the group has been active tour activity. In LDM, the group shows the program "Dance of the Wolf" live. For the first time, an "electric mouth" appeared on the scene, which sometimes travels with the group to this day.

Also in the same year, "Picnic" falls into the "black lists" of groups prohibited from replication in recording studios. The group is attacked by the party and Komsomol press, especially for songs such as "Opium Smoke".

The first version of the song "Holiday" was recorded (for the first time in the history of the group a computer was used), which sounds on the air of the New Year's program "Disks are spinning" on Leningrad TV.

In 1986, using the same computers, the song "I'm Almost Italian" was recorded. The group acquires a stable line-up: Edmund Shklyarsky (vocals, guitar), Alexander Savelyev (guitar), former member Zerkalo group Sergey Voronin (keyboards), Viktor Evseev (bass guitar, back vocals), Yuri Klyuchantsev (keyboards, saxophone) and Vadim Ponomarev (drums).

The group was formed in September 1978 in Leningrad from students of the Polytechnic University who played in the amateur group "ORION". The line-up included: Sergey Omelnichenko (guitar, vocals, lyrics), Evgeny "Jacques" Voloshchuk (bass), Alexei Dobychin (vocals, lyrics), Nikolai Mikhailov (flute), Alexander Matskov (drums). When the question arose about the name, someone remembered the recently read story by the Strugatsky brothers "Roadside Picnic". The proposal was accepted, but the end of the phrase was dropped almost immediately. After some time, Matskov was replaced by Alexander Kondrashkin at the drums.

In March 1979, the composition of the group was strengthened by a classmate of Nikolai Mikhailov in music school and flutist of the group "Tuesday" Yuri Danilov. The repertoire of "PIKNIK" in these years relied mainly on the songs of Dobychin and Omelnichenko - energetic rock and roll, blues or beats.

In 1981, Evgeny Voloshchuk (bass guitar) and Alexei Dobychin (vocals) were left alone. Voloshchuk invited Edmund Shklyarsky, a member of the LABYRINTH group (vocals, guitar, piano), to the vacant position of the guitarist. Edmund did not come alone, but together with Alexander Savelyev (guitar) and Ali Bakhtiyarov (drums). The debut of Edmund Shklyarsky took place at one of the concerts of the Leningrad Rock Club.

In 1982 "PIKNIK" recorded its first magnetic album "Smoke" at Andrey Tropillo's studio. The original version of the album included the songs "Disc Jockey" and "Who is silent a lot", which were excluded from the track list in reissues. Also, for various reasons, such songs as “Bicycle”, “For the Innocently Killed” (released later on the album “A Little Fire”) and some other songs did not get into “Smoke”. The title of the album was proposed by Andrei Tropillo and was accepted without much discussion. The order of compositions was determined by a simple alternation of "fast-slow" and "from strong to weak." Initially, the album was not supposed to have a cover, even a "virtual" one. In 1993, "Smoke" was not only re-released on CD, but also rewritten in the studio by musicians of the first line-up specially assembled for this purpose.

In the autumn of 1982 - the first public presentation of records in the club "Phonograph" in the Leningrad Palace of Youth.

In 1983, "Picnic" became the laureate of the festival of the Leningrad Rock Club (along with "Aquarium", "Zoo" and "Russians"). Leonid Kirnos comes to the group to replace the drummer. The first version of the song "Giant" is recorded, which for the first time in the musical history of the group gets into the hit parade of the newspaper "Change" in the heading "In modern rhythms".

In 1984, the group split. "Picnic", in which only Shklyarsky and Savelyev remain, leaves the Leningrad rock club. After that, for two years the group did not have a permanent composition.

Since 1985, the group has been actively touring. In LDM, the group shows the program "Dance of the Wolf" live. For the first time, "electric rock" appeared on the scene, which sometimes travels with the group to this day.

In 1986, using the same computers, the song "I'm Almost Italian" was recorded. The group acquires a stable line-up: Edmund Shklyarsky (vocals, guitar), Alexander Savelyev (guitar), former member of the Zerkalo group Sergey Voronin (keyboards), Viktor Evseev (bass guitar, backing vocals), Yuri Klyuchantsev (keyboards, saxophone) and Vadim Ponomarev (drums). The first version of the Hieroglyph album is being recorded, including the work of Johann Sebastian Bach.

During the New Year's concerts in the Palace of Culture. Kapranova filmed a video sequence for the song "Hieroglyph". With the light hand of Mikhail Sadchikov, the group has the opportunity to release their songs on the Melodiya recording company. The second, classical version of the Hieroglyph album is recorded in four days in the studio of the House of Composers. A few months later, one of the first albums of the domestic rock band, released on vinyl, appears in the country's music stores.

On the disc "Meeting Place - Disco-3" the song "I'm Almost Italian" appears with the author's comments by Artur Makariev, who later became the initiator of recording the second vinyl record of "Picnic".

In the spring of 1987, drummer Leonid Kirnos joined the band again.

In 1992, the penultimate gramophone record of "Picnic" "Harakiri" was released on the "Matuzalem" label, for the first time designed by Shklyarsky himself. There is a devaluation in the country, and for a concert in Minsk the group receives a bag of money (its “million in a bag”). Another attribute of the show appears - "pointing finger". In the same year, Ivan Okhlobystin's film Arbiter was released with the soundtrack of the Picnic and Obermaneken groups, which received the Kinotavr award in the Films for the Chosen category.

In the early autumn of 1995, Edmund Shklyarsky met Viktor Gritsaenko, who later became the director of the group, and on December 6, at the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, he held his first action-presentation of the new Vampire Songs program. For the first time, Alexander Yarovoy demonstrates the wonders of a fire eruption. The album "Vampire Songs" was recorded together with vocalist Andrei Karpenko (also known as Anri Alf).

In 1996, after a tour in Nizhny Novgorod, Evseev and Klyuchantsev finally left the group. Alexander Rokin becomes the bass player. The album "Ginseng" is being recorded and soon published. In the summer, the Soyuz label publishes the Picnic anthology on eight discs with an annotated book by Andrey Burlaka.

1998 added another musical offshoot to the Picnic anthology - the electronic album Drink Electricity, recorded together with the mythical group MO Sect. “MO Sect” are magical objects. These are people who are not directly related to this music. But their voices were recorded, sampled and then used.

In the same year, director Viktor Gritsaenko left the group and returned to the radio business.

In 1999, a compilation of songs "Picnic" and the program "The Best" of the same name were released. The presentation of the program took place in St. Petersburg on March 7th.

However, even in this company of rebels, Picnic stands apart, standing out thanks to incredible show, which suit the members of the team at every concert. But they love the group not only for their bright, bewitching performances, but also for their deep philosophical texts and melodic performance, memorable from the first notes.

History of creation and composition

In 1978, students of the Leningrad Polytechnic University Alexei Dobychin and Evgeny Voloshchuk founded the Orion musical group. Talented young people even managed to achieve some popularity in student circles. Soon a drummer, a flutist and a guitarist joined the duo, and already in this line-up, Orion began to conquer music venues cities.

Three years later, the band practically broke up, the musicians went their separate ways. different groups, and someone completely abandoned the music. At that moment, Voloshchuk and Dobychin, once again left alone, were close to leaving the dream of the stage. However, fate decreed otherwise, and the artists met Edmund Shklyarsky, who was destined to eventually become the main inspirer, permanent soloist and soul of the new team.

The musicians resumed rehearsals, began to try different styles and look for associates. A year later, the team, replenished with several more musicians, recorded debut album, called "Smoke", and this moment is considered to be the beginning of a serious professional biography of the "Picnic" group. However, real recognition awaited Shklyarsky and company a little later.

Now, after numerous replacements, departures and the appearance of new names, Edmund Shklyarsky (still vocalist, as well as guitarist and author of most of the band's songs), drummer Leonid Kirnos, son of Edmund Shklyarsky - Stanislav Shklyarsky (responsible for arranging, playing on keyboards and performs backing vocals), as well as bass guitarist and backing vocalist Marat Korchemny. In addition, several people work behind the scenes, helping the musicians put on an enchanting show.

Music

The next album "Picnic" without exaggeration became a mature and professional work of the musicians. The record was called "Dance of the Wolf". The compositions from this album, according to the musicians, became the embodiment of the gloomy gothic stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the king of horrors. The songs were met with interest by fans of rock music, and already in 1985 the group went on tour around the country.

The growing popularity of the group did not go unnoticed, and the works of "Picnic" more than once ended up on various black lists for the overly provocative content of the texts. However, despite the vigilant censorship, the band's team continued to work on new compositions and already in 1986 the new album "Picnic" - "Hieroglyph" was presented, which finally approved Shklyarsky and the company in the lists of recognized stars of the rock scene.

Three years later, Picnic experienced its first major crisis. Two members of the team separated, deciding to continue musical career on one's own. For some time nothing was heard about the group, but it soon became clear that new project did not achieve success. The musicians returned back and in 1991 released another disc - Harakiri.

The song "Hysteria" of the group "Picnic"

The following years significantly expanded the Picnic's discography: first, the first collection appeared best songs"Collector's Album", in 1995 the group presented the disc "A Little Fire", and in 1996 an album called "Vampire Songs" was released.

This disc was destined to become one of the group's most popular albums for a long time, and the compositions "Only for a Vampire in Love", "Hysterics" and "White Chaos" are still loved by fans. It is noteworthy that Edmund Shklyarsky invited vocalist Andrei Karpenko to record this album, who performed some of the songs.

2001 was marked by the appearance of the disc "Egyptian", which Shklyarsky himself described as "an album of one song." According to the artist, "Egyptian" is the case when the meaning lies in one main song of the album, while the rest only complement it.

Then, with the release of this disc, "Picnic" began to arrange pyrotechnic shows at concerts. And a year later, the album "Alien" appeared, remembered for the composition "Or maybe there was no me."

The song "Or maybe there was no me" by the group "Picnic"

Another bright album of the group was "Speaks and Shows", which was loved by fans for the compositions "Silver!", "Signs in the Window", "I'm Almost Italian". Traditionally, the artists prepared a new concert program, to the premiere of which they invited (group), composer and musician Alexei Mogilevsky and singer (Anna Osipova). Violinist Irina Sorokina also took part in the concert.

The song "The shaman has three hands" by the group "Picnic"

Immediately after the release of the disc, the team went on a large-scale tour in Russia and foreign countries. Later, a video appeared for the song "The shaman has three hands."

The next disc - Obscurantism and Jazz - was released in 2007. Then, at the beginning of the year, the team celebrated its 25th anniversary. Groups were invited to the concert dedicated to this anniversary, as well as (group). And already in 2008, the prolific team presented a new disc - "Iron Mantras". In the same year, a cover of the composition "Gentle Vampire" by the group performed by "Picnic" appeared.

The song "Doll with a human face" by the group "Picnic"

2010 was marked by the release of the disc "Theater of the Absurd" with the title track of the same name. The songs "Doll with a Human Face" and "Wild Singer" also became popular. And the show program was traditionally updated, with which the team went on the next long tour.

Since that moment, almost every year has been marked by the release of a new Picnic disc. These were new studio albums, and collections of songs from different years, and even collections of cover versions of songs by other artists. And from the fall of 2016 to the spring of 2017, the team on tour, together with the audience, celebrated the 35th anniversary, traditionally preparing a bright show.
