Ksenia Zaitseva singer biography

But if we take an interviewer with a young artist, then it's worth it. Just take our word for us. This is an interview, just from those when we are completely satisfied with the result and fascinated by the interlocutor. It may be that the patterns that are present in her life and creativity are very close to us, maybe it is just an empathy for a good person and musician. Doesn't matter.

The main thing is that this, whatever one may say, is our journalistic success - to chat with a non -step -thinking person. Ksenia Zaitseva or tenderness on paper is the author of songs, a musician, a girl with an enchanting voice and a complete understanding of what she wants. Ksenia is amazing and very different. To admit, listening to her songs, we a little differently imagined her inner world and how she would answer our not the simplest questions.

But she answered them so that we, having read, were stunned. A kind of dissonance happened in our, we hope, shallow heads.

At such a fairly young age, not to reflect on life and creativity is not given to everyone. And tenderness ... Tenderness with her always. And not only on paper. And immediately about the most relevant. When and where will your fans be able to see you live in the near future? Do you have any plans for a tour or at least traditional concerts in two capitals? Hi guys. I am just preparing for May concerts with a band in the capitals.

There are already dates and platforms, now I’m thinking over the program, start working with musicians and prepare all the materials for reaching the announcement. This is strange, but in the fall, for the first time in five years, I made full -format performances with the group without support for an acoustic block. Now I want to fix and improve the result. I am not in a hurry to the tour, since this is not a very recruiting and extremely laborious idea.

It seems to me that it is more logical to spend your strength and time on recording new material. This will bring joy to more people, and more useful for a career. Is there something in the bowels of the studio now? We understand that most recently your new single "tree" has come out, but maybe an EP or an album is slowly written? Yes, I am preparing an experimental pop-link for the summer, and also begin to arrange songs for me more characteristic of me by the sound of the album.

Of course, I would like to release it at the end of this year, but let's see how it goes. This time I decided not to set the clear frames, so as not to be upset, when everything “according to the classic” would go not according to plan. This charitable story, with which the money will go to the Center for Help Oustr with the Violence "Sisters". It is very pleasant that my friend and just cool performer Katya Yashnikova came up with such a project and called me.

Especially if you are imbued with your songs, voice and manner of performance. But it became interesting to us when this phrase was invented, “tenderness on paper”, were there any other options for the name and how long did you come up with such a pseudonym? Or was he born, literally, by clicking his fingers? Oh, initially I was a naive chick who was going to speak under his name and surname.

Well, the former manager stopped and invited the pseudonym to distinguish between my personal and stage life so that I could hide behind him with my secrecy and unpreparedness to unnecessary contacts. The word "tenderness" appeared from the meaning of spiritual nakedness, vulnerability, since at that time I could afford to be such only in the written lines. I remember that the “crumpled tenderness” was still from the considered, but it was somehow dramatic and pathetic, I wanted it easier.

The option of tenderness on paper must have seemed ideal in small letters. For the lowercase letters when writing and the absence of quotation marks, by the way, I regularly fight. It seems to me that the former add charm and accuracy, and the latter is just a position of positioning. I still have a pseudonym, not the name of the group. I don’t understand why the Media Buckwheat and the organizers perceive the performer as a person, and for my combination of three words, they standardly want to place several people.

The world is strange. Over time, the work of any performer is simply obliged to evolve. What do you think that the most important thing has changed in you and your music from the moment of the first release to this day? I almost moved away from the starting concept of the Voitarian Voice and devote a lot of time to arrangements, as this is musically more interesting.

As for the texts - they are now more straightforward and frank. In school and student years, she often wrote a florid and figuratively not beautiful metaphors for the sake of, but out of fear. Now I have become more bold and open, and I like it. As we understand, you do not consider yourself a cool instrumentalist. As for us, this is not particularly important if there are people nearby who will help both with the game and with arrangements.

But you are a perfectionist, like any creative person. Hence the question: tell me how your process of improving exactly musical skills is happening and is it happening? For you, is this more need and routine or a real buzz from the knowledge of a new one?Ahah, I see you prepared and read my post in a cart stating that I play the guitar very doubtfully, but I hide it perfectly.

Yes, I don’t really consider myself a guitarist, since I am more a Soncreter. The acoustic stage of my path was not so much the choice of such a sound as a transitional step on the way to more complex things. Now I’m pumping the skills of an arranger producer. Over the past four years, I have gone from “A, s, how do the drums work? If earlier only a guitar and vocals sounded in my head, now there is a mini-organ.

And in order to give birth to all this, of course, you need to listen a lot to different music and analyze how it is done. Now I prefer to work on songs paired with an arranger. We, relying on my vision, together think through all the moves and throw options for musical solutions. This is an insanely interesting process that requires constant brain function.

I like that the more you start to understand this, the more you understand how much it is a huge universe. The description of your community in VK says the following: “My name is Ksyusha. I am writing songs when I can’t find suitable music in my mood. ” And how important is it for you to "get" into the mood of the audience? Or, nevertheless, your creativity is, first of all, a certain self-satisphasia, and not an attempt to tell people about yourself and your thoughts?

It seems to me that in my whole life I wrote about zero songs for listeners. These are always personal pieces, spinning which, I make it easier for myself, my therapy. I recall about the audience already at the stage of working with sound, since I often want to do it or go into experiments, but the main segment of my listeners is not ready for this, so I am looking for compromises and moving in this direction in small steps.

Music is my way to be yourself. I think it would be strange in her to focus on someone else. Does it reflect your everyday reality? Can you tell your own examples that have entailed any consequences? And is it always possible to carry out conceived on that same “last day”? Here exactly yes. In important things for myself, I can only skip deadlines when they were not originally designated as something reinforced concrete.

From the latter there was a great story when the sound and I worked for 33 hours in a row to pass the album on the right day. The murder mode is simply turned on and you work on inhuman capacities. If something is not of value for me, I initially try to refuse and not to waste strength on it. Or, when it breaks down, I just score, because, obviously, it was not much necessary.

What songs were born the very first, but which, perhaps, did not "see the light"? You can tell you what they were connected with: your own philosophical vision of the world, or maybe, as often happens, with the first love? You, in general, happen that you write songs, as they say, “in the table”, even if, even before the best of times? The very first written song was very abstract and about loneliness.

There were some metaphors about the ocean, whales and it was bad. Then, almost immediately, the material for the first album began to be written, although some completely naive songs that were outlined in the process were born. I usually remove something that over time seems to me stupidity or banal. Now, by the way, also. Only the percentage increased. Most of the written remains to live in notes.

As for the moment from “to the best of times”, my big pain is songs affecting politics. I have three that I do not just release from desire to continue to play concerts in Russia calmly. There is nothing radical in them, but the experience of colleagues shows that even such material can create problems. I really want to have freedom of speech and creativity in our country, but now they are only on pieces of paper.
