Starship Z. "Kosmostan"
The Honored Artist of Tatarstan Zul Kamalova recorded a marvelous album of the Pentatonic Electropee along with the Dutch producer German Popov, aka Omfo (Our Man Man from Odessa) , songs from the most famous album of which “Trans Balkan Express” sound in the film “Borat” by Sasha Baron Cohen. Kosmostan is based on the legend of Princess Mars Tataeli invented by Kamalova. The virtuoso Bayanist, Aidar Gainullin, laureate of 18 international competitions, performing with Rostropovich, Netrebko, Matsuev and Bashmet, and organized his Pantonale festival in Berlin, took part in the record.
Zul Kamalova
I have long liked Omfo's work, and I just decided to write to him. Asked him if he wanted to make a couple of songs with me; He replied that he wants, because he loves Tatar music. The common Australian friend of Moses I. introduced us, who also has his own space project. At first there were two songs, then four more, and after almost 2.5 years it turned out to be an album.
The daughter of Queen Mars Aelita I came up with. Herman has always had and had a great interest in space and even at one time a vinyl record called “Aelita” came out, but I did not even know about it. I was attracted by the constructivist aesthetics of the 1924 Protazanov film of the same name. So the legend of Tataeli, the daughter of Aelita and the Red Army Ilgizar Zinnatullin was born.
On Kosmostan there are quite intentional elements of both retro-pop music and many other styles, but we believe that as a result of the alchemical union of epic and modal Tatar elements and cosmic electronic pathos, an elegant and romantic musical stream of completely new quality is born. Its source originates in the very depths of the Eurasian landscape. The pentathonic paradigm is shifted so unusual here that a fabulous system of “parallel worlds” is created with its set of utopian ideals.
The legend of Tataeli
1. Turkic cosmism
The god of heaven is Tengri, the supreme deity of all Turkic peoples, lives on Mount Han-Tengri (Tien Shan). From there from a height of 7439 meters snow in the fall of 2014, the divine sphere, Tataeli, daughter of Tengri, quickly flew into space and went into space.
Tataeli left the earth in search of her mother, a distant star, for whom people have not yet come up with a name. Tataeli did not scare the path to eternity: she sang constellations and galaxies, carrying the ancient energy of the song into the infinity of the mon.
The radio telescope of the Tangasima space center for 51 minutes took music from space. “It was incredible: similar to Japanese pentatonic and all -consuming female voice, singing in an unknown language,” wrote the head of the Japanese agency of aerospace research Mikoto Simazu. Later, users of the popular blog service Reddit learned in the published record of the Tatar language, relating to the Volga-Kypchak subgroup of the Kypchak group of Turkic languages. The recording quickly spreads on the network, and in a week a clip appears on You T Ube , the video is successful, and the discussion flares up in the comments, who plays Tataeli.
And in several million light years from our planet through meteorite rains, the divine sphere of Tataeli, the daughter of the god of Heaven, the Great Tengri, extending to the infinity radio signals of the Tatar Mon.
2. Daughter Aelita
As the expedition of the engineer of the moose proved, people live on Mars, and the evil dictator Tuskub runs them. His daughter Aelita does not share his father’s totalitarian views. During the second expedition of earthlings to Mars Aelita, falls in love with the only surviving, Red Army soldier Ilgizar Shagiakhmetovich Zinnatullin, by nationality of Tatar, welder by profession and Marxist by conviction. Love was a short -lived, insidious Tuskub, fearing the penetration of the Marxist idea into the ranks of enslaved Martians, kills Ilgizar Shagiakhmetovich with the help of his weapons, sickle and hammer from fiberglass.
The grief of Aelita is crazy and isolated from society in the Martian Psychiatric Hospital named after Velikamy Vladimirovich Khlebnikov, and in 14 months Tataeli was born in 14 months. Fearing the wrath of Tuskub, Aelita conveys the daughter of his faithful maid. Iha raises Tataeli and on the day of adulthood tells her about the earth and her Tatar roots. Having kidnapping the starship "Interplanetonef-2", Tataeli goes to the cosmic distance. At an altitude of 9000 kilometers above the level of the Martian Sea, she begins to sing in the Tatar language, which she had never heard before. She sings about love, about stars and infinity.
