Biography of Dmitry Gaiduk

During this period, he thundered to the whole Runet as the author of “Tramman tales” - a collection of stories circulating at that time among Russian customs. However, he did not limit himself to one subculture: Gaiduk and now regularly performs in many cities with other fairy tales - from ancient Indian ones processed in the modern patronage to rather peculiar city legends.

The correspondent of "Real Time" talked with Dmitry Gaiduk during his visit to Kazan. And the next day he is no longer there ” - if you read the article about you on the Wikipedia, there is a very large biographical gap there:“ Tramman tales ” - with th to the middle of x. Then there are not many information - several new works, I know that they went to India - and everything seems to be.

I would like to fill this gap. I moved from place to place. Then I wrote the Tale of Alien Eyes, the Indian Deeper, Ninety months - in general, all big works. Working on her, I found that the stories about King Vikram, the famous character of Indian fairy tales, approx. Well, he continued this topic, so the “ninety months” appeared and the third part of the trilogy “Big Journey to Vikramatia”, which is now being prepared.

And the “Tale of Alien Eyes” is a story about a year about one Kyiv Traman, who changed his eyes with a German and began to see what the German sees. Well, accordingly, the whole situation, which is around the Traman, these eyes did not like scary. What is the German with the Tamagan eyes - I never finished. Three parts of the story came out, they mainly concerned the young customaman.

The eyes had an interesting side effect - they saw through the slot machines, could predict which combination would continue to fall. In general, a strange feeling from the city. The city is quite metropolitan, civil. And on the other hand, my concerts here are collecting four times less than in the capital - did we often have to call in Kazan? I noticed that the city is changing quickly: twice in a row performed in the [now closed] New York Cafe.

So, you perform in some place, hop! And the next day he is no longer there. For the first time I performed at Lepreecon - remember such a place? Then I went not that on foot under the table, but not to the Leprekon. On the other hand, my concerts here are collected four times less than in the capital. I have several audiences, in each of which I am known with something. Somewhere I am known as a translator [of the famous occultist] Alister Crowley, somewhere-primarily as a collector of folklore.

Somewhere-as an original writer of the modernist direction. So if you come from the side of the Tamagan audience, this is just one side. Now I will have a concert “Tales of Wonders” in Kazan February 13, approx. These will be stories where a miracle is not a background, but creates a plot. This is, firstly, by there, and secondly, all sorts of legends, and not only urban, but thirdly, fables, which are woven from miracles on the principle of "the more wonderful, the better." In Kazan, the Tramaman party is big or not?

Here I am familiar with someone, then this is Bebertos musician-bitboxer Albert Ilyasov-approx. Many people here know him, but this is more a musical party than the member. Recently, I have been making such mixed programs in which, of all the projects by little, stories, united by some topic “previous subcultures were stupid”-if we talk about the subcultures of that time-the beginning of the 10ths-and now: how did their world change?

Previous subcultures, in general, were stupid. These were people who, if something could organize something, then at a very, very low level. And the current subcultures - look, around us a tea subculture concert Dmitry Gaiduk in Kazan took place in one of the city tea houses - approx. Here she is so furnished, she lives like that. Imagine that some hippies or punks, or even members are so furnished ...-as ​​a person who has forced that time the very edge, sometimes it seems that then the subcultures were easier ...

with self-determination or something.

Here is a person with a Iroquois, he listens to certain music, all such against the system - it was clearly a punk ... - a person who yells that he is against the system - he is part of this system. An unsystematic element, he does not pay attention to the system and simply lives so that it climbs less in his affairs. So punks, which are against the system, are absolutely systemic punks.

Before, everything was much more complicated. Just earlier, journalists were engaged in a description of all this, and journalists - they simplify everything. And now it doesn’t care about reporters. Now in general, we can say, there is no journalism. There are people who work in advertising, there are people who work in politics. Where is journalism? After all, journalism is a sniffing of any new, interesting, delivering this to the reader.

I talked a lot with journalists, even my wife was a journalist, I can say that a very strong relaxation came in this craft. That is, people just make materials. Most often from the press releases that someone supplies them.Now, what journalism was doing before, bloggers are engaged in. Both television and newspapers - now they feed from social networks. A person who yells that he is against the system - he is part of this system.

An unsystematic element, he does not pay attention to the system at all and simply lives so that it climbs less in his affairs “Facebook Tales” - I wanted to ask about city legends. Here is Kazan, a city with a summer story, and when he began to look for such legends, he found only something very old-the treasures of Lake Kaban, Suyumbike. Almost nothing modern. We began to engage in urban folklore in our years of the last century, before that we drove around the villages for folklore.

Well, where will you find legends from Kazan life in the villages? They ate someone and collected something, then it is so marginally and so deeply buried that it is necessary to look very specifically. And not on the Internet, but in paper storages. Surely someone wrote disseers, exchange rate. Maybe the books came out in a small circulation. These are serious excavations.

For example, “Jah-Budda and his jatak”, he is quite close to the customs fairy tales. Now I am preparing a large project “Around the frame” - not a window, of course, an ancient Indian hero. In Ramayana, besides him, there are many heroes, each of them has its own story, it would be interesting to tell. Once in India, I conducted a tour along the road of the frame, preparing for this tour, digging all the sources and found a lot of entertaining.

Some of which fairy tales have already come out of. Which I tell. All this is together, if you put up and impose on Ramayana, it will turn out very well. And they must be collected. It is easier to collect Facebook fairy tales, Telegram - it is more chaotic. And not on the Internet, but in paper storages “no one bothered me in uniform since the year” - how did the self -isolation go?

Like everyone else. Strimil, made paid streams. Almost all of their most popular programs during the self -isolation are cut. She passed quite quickly, from March to May, then I already drove, there were no difficulties. Due to the glory of "Tramman fairy tales" did you never have problems with the organization of concerts? There are many sites, if someone does not want to see me on their site, I just find another.

Now I am going to Izhevsk with the program "Tales of Yoga." I chose this program, because at first the organizers in Izhevsk, the musicians, the yoga center wited me. I say: excellent, I have such a program. I am writing on the poster "Tales of yogis." The next day, the organizers say: oh, the owner of the institution found out who comes, said “just not to me!

Okay, we are still looking for a room. In general, we find quite easy. As a result, we perform with this program in another room, that's all. It was all one summer - about a year. Since the year, no one bothered me in uniform. Alexander Artemyev, photo: Facebook.
