Not so long ago in the program "Exactly the same" on Channel One, the popular comedian of all Rus' Maxim Galkin literally smashed all the viewers and presenters on the spot, depicting a certain Runet star - Nikolai Voronov, who once became famous for the hit "White Dragonfly of Love", and then sunk into oblivion. Many people who do not know Voronov and his songs have a natural question: “Where did Maxim Galkin get this strange nerd with glasses and a synthesizer from? Who is this? And why did the choice of a popular comedian fall on him? Are there any other "victims" for parody - more venerable and known to the public?

Surprisingly, the choice of Maxim Galkin is not accidental, as it might seem at first glance. If you look at all this from the point of view of Yuri Burlan’s System-Vector Psychology, then the popular comedian unconsciously chose his “vector double”: the set of vectors for Galkin and Voronov coincides one to one (muscular, anal, skin vectors from below and visual, oral and sound - above).

However, there is one small, but significant difference: if Maxim Galkin has all the vectors developed, are in good condition, due to which their properties harmoniously complement each other, giving their owner the opportunity to fully realize their talents and abilities in society, then Nikolai Voronov has everything somewhat sadder. The vectors are in not very good conditions, they are stressed, “rattling”, giving their already strange owner grotesque and comical features. So, for example, Nikolai has a habit of constantly biting his nails on his hands, all the time pulling something, pulling his hands - which indicates stress in the skin vector. He tries to chat incessantly and off topic, despite problems with diction, and is often "shut up" by the interlocutor - not very developed orality. Even singing, as if “a bear stepped on his ear” (despite the fact that Nikolai has a good ear and studied first at Gnesinka, and then at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory). What's wrong with Nikolai Voronov? Let's try to make some systematic guesses.

Who is Nikolai Voronov?

Nikolai Voronov, despite the fact that at one time his " white dragonfly Love ”sounded literally from every iron and from every cafe on the embankment, still remains a not very famous person. Books are not written about him, his biography is not recorded, his songs (except Dragonfly) are known only to a narrow circle of people, and almost no one knows that this person also writes poetry and tries to create “serious music”.

Some call Voronov "Blessed Russian Internet" And "fool", others consider it an undoubted talent and an unrecognized genius, others sigh with regret - "the guy is sick, and you laugh at him".

Voronov himself does not hide his problems, honestly stating that - yes, he was treated in a mental hospital, but he is even somewhat proud of it, reasonably believing that madness and genius go hand in hand. At one time, Nikolai even tried to play on his “abnormality”, using it as an image for the public, making some completely crazy recordings and posting them on YouTube. He tried to shock subscribers, declared himself as an eccentric musician, coming up with various funny names for his "group". For example, "Cold smoked mackerel". He constantly talked about “normality and abnormality”, somewhat raising himself above the “normal crowd” in a sound way:

Why does it have to be normal?
Here comes the thoughtful flute
With equal dissonance across,
Or in the abyss a foundling is crying.
Even this - why do you need to be, if you cry?

However, over time, apparently, he became disappointed and calmed down, realizing that many people go to his page only to giggle and scoff, and not at all in order to appreciate his work. That behind his "abnormal way" no one wants to see what he is trying to convey. But Nikolai Voronov, like all people with a sound vector, wants to convey certain meanings. Yes, and he is looking for these meanings.

What are the reasons for the "abnormality" of Nikolai Voronov?

We will not go into clinical diagnoses or medical histories of our hero. And let's talk a little about something else.

As we said above, Nikolai Voronov is the owner of a sound vector, which already makes him a little "freaky" in the eyes of all other people.
Sound engineers from birth are white crows in society, because arranged differently and concerned about other things. While all the other children are making noise, squealing, pushing, rolling around in a tightly entangled human ball, the child with the sound vector tries to stay away. Human noise hurts his sensitive ears. Yes, and all this leapfrog with his peers is not very interested in him.

He has not yet managed to get out of the diapers, but already the question: "Who am I?" arose in his head. The soundman is looking for meaning all his life human life, his world, unlike the world of the majority, is split in two: the real world and the metaphysical world. And guess which world is more real to him? Not the same for all of us - that's true.

Thus, you now understand why a person with a sound vector can seem like an “eccentric” to everyone around. Because he thinks in completely different categories.

But this distance that separates the sound engineer from everyone else can be smoothed out over time. If such a child does not sit at home, but ranks among his peers, develops the properties of not only the upper, but also his lower vectors (the development of the lower vectors just happens “in a flock”), sooner or later he finds his place in this society, finds a use for himself , learns to communicate with other people, and other people begin to understand him better. In other words, a person with a sound vector, who is not forcibly cut off from society, ceases to be a black sheep, but can become a developed personality who also brings new ideas useful to humanity into this world. The lower vectors in good condition provide a good basis for the development of the upper vectors.

However, if a child with a sound vector is not allowed to rank among peers, is not allowed to develop the properties of his lower vectors, the development of which occurs in a very important period - during puberty, and besides, the sound is also traumatized, then the sound engineer remains a "black sheep" and "weird".

Nikolay Voronov

Nikolai Voronov was born on May 15, 1991 in Moscow. At the age of seven, he entered the Gnessin Moscow Music School for the specialty of piano to T.A. Zelikman and studied there for 12 years. In 2000, due to a nervous illness due to fatigue from excessive piano lessons, Nikolai canceled a trip to Holland for a competition, and piano lessons gradually began to shift more and more into the background. Since 2006, the musician moved from the piano class to the Faculty of Theory and studied there with teacher Anton Anatolyevich Prishchepa. In 2008, he entered the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory at the Faculty of Composition (the third number out of 18 applicants). In the same year, Voronov began touring: he goes to concerts first with various managers, but after three years he refuses them and continues to work on his own. At the moment, Nikolai is the author of two quartets, one trio, more than ten duets, a quintet, a sextet, many piano compositions and improvisations, recorded and unrecorded. There are also compositions for orchestra - five poems.

Nikolay considers his main genre to be electronic symphonies, of which he has 25, with a total duration of more than six hours. They are electronic because they are mostly computer-based. Nikolai refuses live performers due to the impossibility of performing live and says that "live performers as pure and accurate as a computer will still not be able to play." In the 13th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd and 25th symphonies, Nicholas uses his voice in various ways. Voronov's electronic symphonies were written between November 4, 2008 and August 30, 2012.

Nikolai considers the opera “Janis” to be an important work for himself, in which, in his opinion, he was able to more accurately depict the nature of a creative person. Another such composition is the poem "Trees". There, Nikolai depicts a situation where a person is left completely alone with his thoughts, simply because no one hears his thoughts. What he says is completely ignored, because everyone is busy with their own business.

Nikolai has more than 90 songs, of which only "White Dragonfly of Love", written in 2001, became truly famous. Recently, the song "Fruit Tenderness" was written, which Nikolai appreciates more than "White Dragonfly", because in "Fruit Tenderness" - the arrangement and the sounds that Nikolai himself heard, while the rhythm for "Dragonfly" " invented by a synthesizer, and Nikolai himself heard only the harmony, melody and all the rest of the design.

Now Nikolai is trying to find performers for the opera Janis, but so far without success. But he does not stop, writes essay after essay, and in free time visits the conservatory, rides a bike and picks mushrooms.

Nikolai's music, according to him, you can try to analyze from the point of view of familiar forms, but you will get confused, because all opinions will be different. After all, in none of the composer's plays there are constructions that musicologists are so accustomed to seeing.

The younger son of a teacher at the International University of Nature, Society and Man "Dubna" Nikolai Voronov woke up famous on the wave of the success of the song "White Dragonfly of Love". Nine years ago, this composition blew up all the dance floors of the country, and the cult club "Solyanka" could not accommodate those who wanted to hear the hit live.

Voronov was called to the TV show, and the media lined up to interview the young extravagant musician. But after the legendary song, the author did not create new hits. The excitement around him began to subside, and Nikolai himself went into the shadows and began to run a YouTube channel.

Now Internet users are seriously puzzled by the mental state of the once famous singer, the adequacy of which is in doubt for many. The fact is that Nikolai's videos contain profanity and seem to demonstrate a challenge common sense. website decided to personally figure out what was happening to the young performer. In a frank conversation, the musician explained such a strange behavior.

"I changed my image because I am not satisfied with the claim to everyone that is made by our so-called stars, who consider themselves superior ordinary people. Stars don't exist. We have only one principle: "Your genius is not so important as how much you are a career horse." It annoys me terribly. And then what can we say about Pushkin, about Dostoevsky, who are physically dead? How to treat them? There was no radical change in the image. This is just a small change because I want to help humanity understand this global problem. They try to impose a disease on me, but in my person the disease is diagnosed in all of humanity. Someone believed in it and died, but I will not die. I'm here. I can be understood correctly only if I am completely separated from me and considered in a more mass sense, from the position of society as a whole, and not part of it. I never loved myself and was not interested in myself. I love others," Voronov said.

To finally dispel the rumors about the musician's mental illness, website asked the psychotherapist Vitaly Kekuh to explain the behavior of Nikolai. “I can assume that the problem is as follows: either something happened during the pregnancy of Nikolai’s mother, for example, intoxication; or an injury was received during childbirth, asphyxia or a pinched nerve. You know what kind of obstetricians we have - they pulled her head ", pinched a nerve. These consequences are visible on Kolya's face. Everything is fine with his psyche. And such a defiant behavior is compensation for an external physical feature. This is felt in his facial expressions. But he is great, he understood in time how to use his shortcomings, " - said the specialist.

According to Voronov's mother, the young man has been writing music since the age of three. When he was five, he began to study piano at the Gnesins' Moscow Secondary Special Music School. Nikolai held his first concert in Dubna. In 2008 he entered the first year of the composer department of the Moscow State Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky.

As Nikolai recalls, he took up pop music when his father gave him a synthesizer. The first three songs he composed were called (in chronological order) "I'm waiting for you", "People who immediately" and "White Dragonfly of Love". In 2008, the author predicted: "Dragonfly" "will be his hit." And so it happened.

26-year-old Russian composer Nikolai Voronov, who became famous in the late 2000s thanks to his hit « White Dragonfly of love» , now leads a rather strange video blog on YouTube: in the videos, he sits in front of the camera in a half-naked form and utters little meaningful monologues. In social networks, they are worried about the mental health of a man.

Social media users suggest that a certain person is to blame for Voronov's behavior. mental disorder caused by the calm after the fame. “This is an example of how show business cripples people,” wrote the Russian Shuffle Telegram channel.

Nikolai Voronov was born in May 1991. According to his mother, he began to study music at the age of three. From the age of five he learned to play the piano at the Gnessin Moscow Secondary Special Music School. Voronov became a star at the age of 17 thanks to YouTube and the song "White Dragonfly of Love", which he wrote at the age of 10. With her, he performed at corporate parties, TV shows and clubs.

Voronov's popularity quickly waned. Last year, the young man gave an interview to StarHit, in which he said that he had left the stage because "he began to play the piano more seriously in order to become a professional who would not have any failures at all." At the same time, he stated that he hated the conservatory, where he studied for five years, because there they “taught him nothing” and did not see him as a composer. Ravens also admitted that he was not worried about past glory.

I didn't have any problems with this. I live and grieve, as before. Only sadness is not from the fact that they forgot me, but from the fact that all life around is dying.

Nikolay Voronov.

17-year-old Muscovite Nikolai Voronov is a true child prodigy who was never called that at home to protect him from psychological trauma. The boy, born in the family of a psychologist and accompanist, from the age of three showed extraordinary abilities in mathematics and music. At the age of five, he began studying to be a pianist at the Gnesins' Moscow Secondary Special School for Specially Gifted Children. Absolute pitch and unique musical memory, revealed in Nikolai, led to the fact that, in parallel with general program with him began to engage in composition. At the age of ten, Kolya Voronov composed the song “White Dragonfly of Love” on a simple synthesizer, which six years later was destined to become internet hit and bring fame to the author. And now a first-year student of the composer department of the Moscow Conservatory, a pop career began to spin - he was invited with performances to corporate parties, the New Year's light of the 2x2 channel, to the Solyanka and Caviar clubs. Offers of cooperation from representatives of show business, requests for television filming and interviews rained down on the young musician. Fans, having found out the address of the Voronovs, began to gather at his entrance. What is called a serious hype has risen.

The current situation worries Kolya Voronov's parents a lot, who fear that excessive public attention will prevent their son from completing his education and thereby ruin his talent. OPENSPACE.RU decided to find out what Kolya Voronov himself had in mind.

Location: cafe on Izmailovsky Boulevard. Characters: correspondent OPENSPACE.RU Denis Boyarinov, Nikolai Voronov and his director Alexander. Voronov studies the menu, then makes an order: meat in a frying pan, two bottles of mineral water.

- You bite your nails.

Yes (laughs embarrassedly). Can't get rid of the habit.

- It's some kind characteristic for pianists. Horowitz also bit his nails in his youth.

For pianists, this is such a disaster. By the way, Horowitz - yes. And Stravinsky didn't bite.

- Can we start the interview?

And how.

Wonderful. Your mother and piano teacher told me in detail about your, so to speak, development as a classical musician, pianist. But here is the moment when you became interested in pop music, they, according to their confession, did not notice.

In fact, my mother probably noticed, but did not tell. I got into pop music at the age of ten. Turn on the TV and listen to songs. Any - listened to the White Eagle group, Viktor Tsoi ( laughs)… What else is there? Decl! ( Recites.) "And who are you? Who are you? Who are you? And who are you? Who are you? Who are you?" Really good songs. Choi is amazing...

And so, I say that it was all in principle interesting to me. But I took up pop music when my dad bought a synthesizer at the Savelovsky market Casio CTK 571. This synthesizer has become my attribute.

- Do you still play the same synthesizer?

Yes! And I don't want to change it!

- And it works well - the keys do not sink?

Works well. On the contrary, the keys sometimes want to pull out. With root! ( Laughs.) No, I'm afraid, I'm afraid to buy a new one. ( Conversational tone.) Do you know why I'm afraid?

- Why?

Because the new one won't have the Dragonfly rhythm. No - if new, then only Casio, only Casio. Moreover, it is interesting that on the new synthesizer it will be possible to make a remix for "Dragonfly". Actually, I'm glad you've heard Dragonfly. It's incredible! It is amazing! Why all of a sudden such an attraction to the song? All of a sudden! Here there was no this song, here it appeared - and suddenly this. And now everyone says that Nikolai Voronov is my idol. ( Laughs.)

- What are you listening to now?

Now it's classical music. She has something to say to me energetically.

- What period?

Modern. Not even modern, late XIX - early XX century.

- Modernists?

Still not quite modernists, but already ... Early avant-garde - Debussy, Scriabin, Mahler, Ravel is already less. All this is post-Chopin. Rachmaninoff is included, of course. Naturally, dodecaphonists, the New Viennese school - Berg, Schoenberg, Webern.

- I know you compose symphonic works yourself.

Yes, I do, of course. On the computer, I have three programs. I write in them, programs are immediately voiced. This is very important: you compose and immediately hear what you compose.

- How would you describe the style of your symphonic works?

I have different ones. It's probably the return of a classic. Modern harmonies… No, that's how it should be said: I'm trying to show modern harmonies with a classical style. And in general - a combination. Even "Dragonfly" is a combination. Mix of pop-rock and disco.

- Do you give titles to your symphonic compositions?

- "Opus". Opuses under numbers. I can't get the names. I give numbers to songs. Song 68 is playing now.

- So you wrote 68 songs in total?

- And why do you play the same ten pieces at concerts?

- 15. Because they are the most hit. And so far I have only learned them.
