Theodor Bastard - Salve Music

Theodor Bastard is a popular St. Petersburg band that was founded in the late 90s. Initially, this was a solo project by Fyodor Svoloch (Alexander Starostin), but over time, the artist’s brainchild began to “grow” and “take root.” Today, Theodor Bastard is a full-fledged band. The band's musical compositions sound very "delicious". And all because the guys use an incredible number of instruments from different countries around the world. The list of classical instruments opens with: guitar, cello, harp. The electronic sounds are produced by: synthesizers, samplers, and theremin. The band's compositions also feature unique instruments such as nyckelharpa, jouhikko, darbuka, congas, djembe, daf, and many others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v0SOyKENF5zg История создания и состав группы Theodor Bastard Как уже было отмечено выше - история коллектива началась с сольного проекта Александра Старостина, который в то время был известен поклонникам под творческим псевдонимом Фёдор Сволочь. In his early work, the artist experimented with many musical genres. At the end of the 90s, talented musicians such as Monty, Maxim Kostyunin, Kusas and Yana Veva joined Alexander’s project. After expanding their lineup, the artists gave their brainchild the name under which they perform to this day. Theodor Bastard (Theodore Bastard): Biography of the group In the early 2000s, the group gained another member. Anton Urazov joined the group. There were also some small losses. Thus, Max Kostyunin left the team. They searched for his replacement for 6 years. Soon Maxim's place was taken by Alexey Kalinovsky. After the guys realized that they were missing drums, they went looking for a new musician. Thus, Andrey Dmitriev joined the team. The latter was a member of the group for a very short time. He was replaced by Sergei Smirnov. After some time, Slavik Salikov and Katya Dolmatova joined the team. Since this period of time, the composition has not changed (information as of 2021). https://www.youtube.com/watch?vb2pvaP_OED8 Творческий путь Theodor Bastard Первые выступления коллектива проходили максимально самобытно и эффектно. The musicians created real noise performances on concert stages. Often the artists came on stage wearing helmets or gas masks. Back then, everyone who watched this performance on stage said that the group’s performance immersed them in hypnosis. A couple of years after the band’s founding, the guys began working with the Invisible Records label. At the early stages of creativity, the team was searching for an original sound. The artists then managed to develop those very same oriental motifs and gothic genre – for which they were loved by millions of fans. The premiere of the live album took place in 2002. It was named BossaNova_Trip. Incidentally, the tracks included in the live album differed from the material the artists had previously released. Some time later, the musicians delighted fans with the information that they were working on their debut longplay. In 2003, the premiere of the album "Emptiness" took place. In 2005, the guys went on a big tour. By the way, this tour became the “reason” for the release of the album “Vanity”. Around the same time, Yana Veva decided to pursue a solo career. She records the composition Nahash, attracting the attention of foreign music lovers. Next, the guys worked on the album “Darkness”. The musicians mixed it at a recording studio in Venezuela. However, for a number of reasons, the album was never released. But in 2008, fans enjoyed songs from the longplay "White: Catching Evil Beasts." Fans were ready to sing odes to their idols, but the artists themselves were not satisfied with the work done. Theodor Bastard (Theodore Bastard): Biography of the group Re-release of the album "White: catching evil beasts" They are re-releasing the album. In 2009, the premiere of the collection “White: Premonitions and Dreams” took place. "Fans" noted that the tracks included in the updated longplay are fundamentally different in sound and presentation from what they heard on the album "White: Catching Evil Beasts." In 2011, the artists delighted their audience with information about preparations for the release of the album Oikoumene. It also became known that when recording the album, the guys used musical instruments from different countries of the world. In addition, the musicians began creating remixes with the participation of European groups. 2015 also didn't leave without new music releases. This year the presentation of the album "Branches" took place. The musicians spent several years creating the collection, and it must be admitted that the work turned out to be truly worthy. A few years later, the guys released a soundtrack album for the game "Pathologic" called Utopia. The album turned out to be “imbued” with a mystical mood. The longplay was warmly received by fans of Theodor Bastard's work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v7Zw8juVxLOg Theodor Bastard: наши дни Несмотря на «разгулявшуюся» пандемию коронавирусной инфекции – ребята плодотворно работали. True, some of the planned concerts had to be cancelled. The musicians spent their free time productively, and in 2020 they released the album "Wolf Berry." The artists admitted that they spent 5 years on this album. The guys brought the longplay to an ideal level. The track "Volchok" included in the collection is featured in the TV series "Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes". On November 18, 2021, the guys planned another concert at the capital's ZIL cultural center. If the plans are not affected by restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic, the artists' performance will take place.
