ARTHUR

Hailing from Ufa, Russia, multi-instrumentalist Artur Bayramgalin is ready for a start off. At the age of 22, Artur made a name for himself on the Russian music scene performing with many of top artists .

He has just recorded his debut album Interro Island in the Breezz Studio, Ufa and fosters his music in all jazz-networks and communities. He comments his new album: “This is my first solo project, which includes original tunes composed and arranged by me. I hope you will enjoy my work!”

Artur, thank you for participating in this project. And here are my questions:

1) What is music to and for you?

However trite it may sound but I must say that music is not only my work but also life.I love being a musician, working in my studio, listening to and talk about music.

I think that there is nothing better than creating personal art.

2) What inspires you?

I can enumerate that indefinitely…I believe that my family is my biggest inspiration. Being a professional musician, my father often took me to his band rehearsals and gigs.

At that time (well, my teenage years) I already felt that I really enjoyed the type of atmosphere that was present there. Also being married for more than 15 years my wife and I still retain our love and that inspires me , too!

Music inspires me a lot, too. listening to such a great musicians as Grieg, Tchaikovsky , M. Davis, Lee Ritenour to name a few, I feel a variety of emotions from sadness to complete happiness!

3) When you are creating, playing (not performing) where does it take you, I mean where does your mind travel?

I noticed that before I write a song, I remember positive situations and as well as emotions experienced in the past, for example, romantic evening, etc. and in the process of song writing, I relive those moments again.

4) Do you think music, visual art and health are related and if so, how?

Of course music and visual art are related, I would even say are inseparable, they are united by one word – art!

Sometimes, looking at some paintings , I hear beautiful music, and vice versa listening to music artists are often inspired to create a masterpiece. In the process of composing songs, I relive those moments as well.

No. 5) How do you feel when you are playing?

It is a special feeling! Playing the guitar I love to improvise. I believe that only by improvising musician can create something personal. You never know what you going to play, it is a wonderful adventure consisting of musical phrases, which takes us into the world of our imaginations.

No. 6) When do you do your best work ?

The most interesting place that I’ve performed at was an English as the Second Language School in Toronto, Canada.

I gave a solo performance consisting of many jazz standards for immigrants from various countries including Argentina, Korea, China, Iran, and Israel to name few. The people accepted the performance in a very warm and enthusiastic way. At that moment I felt that music is a universal force that can unite people from all over the world.

I am very happy to have done this interview with you, Artur, good luck in all your endeavours and until we meet again, be blessed!
