One of the first collectives in Russia, whichperformed exclusively English-language compositions for the Russian-speaking audience, became the group "Plasma". Few people even from fans of children know that they were originally called Slow Motion. But for success in the variety field it was necessary to have a short, resonant, vivid memorable title that would sound the same in all languages, and therefore it was decided to become "Plasma". About how the group "Plasma" was created, her biography, described in this article, will tell in detail. Also we learn about some facts from the life of the members of the collective.
The group "Plasma" was established in 1990.And it all started like this. The participants of the future, even in the thoughts of a non-existent collective, met in 1986 in Volgograd, in the Teachers' House, where they were invited to become members of a new group. Its head Andrey Tryasuchev brought together talented young guys: Roman Chernytsyn, Nikolay Romanov, Alexei Voronkov, Sergei Starodub, Roman Rybin and Maxim Postelny. But the collective was not destined to exist for a long time, soon it disintegrated.
Three guys from the former collective (MaximPostelny, Roman Chernitsyn, Nikolay Romanov) decided to create a new one, calling it Slow Motion, which means "slow movement". The name of the group was taken to be one of the songs most popular at the time, Modern Talking. Already at that time, in 1990, the group's work was based on the principle of performing only English-language songs. The team wanted to prove that in Russia you can make the same progressive and high-quality music as in the West.
Immediately after the creation of the band, the guys startedfor work. There, in Volgograd, the main musical material for the debut album was recorded. In 1991, the band released their first collection of songs called Falling In Love (in translation - "falling in love"). Not waiting for the first results of the work, the group left Romanov Nikolay. In parallel with the records, participants began to shoot clips, participate and win in various competitions and festivals. So, Slow Motion took the second place on the First rock start in 1991 and the first - on the Second rock start in 1992.
From the end of 1992 to 1993 the group remainedinactive. Chernitsyn Roman decided to get a job at the plant "Spetsenergoremont", Maxim Postelny devoted his time to studying at the Art College. But all changed one call.
The cassette with the records of the collective fell into the hands ofgeneral director of the trading house Help Oleynik Sergey Ivanovich, who decided to become a sponsor of the children. Soon, with the assistance of his patron, Roman and Maxim receive an invitation to participate in the program "Starry Rain." The program was broadcast on the RTR channel, and therefore it was seen practically by the whole country.
After the duet learned, appearedseveral people wanting to do their producing. The mentor of the group was Abolikhin Anatoly, who works with the already known at that time singer Malikov Dmitri. In 1993 in Volgograd some old songs were rewritten and new ones recorded. In Moscow, the guys recorded an updated song Take My Love, which later became one of the most popular in the history of Russian pop music.
During 1996-1998, the group recordednew songs, performed in the clubs of Volgograd. But very quickly it became clear that the guys are cramped in a small city. In early 1998, a new album was released called Prologue, with which the team ventured to go to Moscow. But in connection with the situation in the country at that time, it turned out to be done only in the beginning of 1999. First time Maxim Maximos worked on the radio station "Europe Plus" as a sound engineer.
In 1999, the boys met DmitryMalikov, who became their producer for the next five years. He also initiated the change of the collective name to a more vivid and memorable one, and was right - the group "Plasma" became recognizable.
In December 2000, a new album was releasedduet - Take My Love, which literally blew up the music market in Russia. The group "Plasma" has become very popular not only in its own country, but also far beyond its borders. The collective toured in all countries of the near abroad. In the same year, the group "Plasma" with the help of Philip Jankowski filmed the clips for two of their songs: The Sweetest Surrender and Take My Love.
At the end of 2001, the audience saw the third clip onsong Lonely, and in the middle of 2002 the fourth - for the song You'll Never Meet an Angel. Gusev Oleg became the director of the video. According to his idea in the video in the role of "big boss" starred himself the producer of the group Malikov Dmitri. The work turned out to be interesting and exciting, like a real gunman: with weapons, expensive cars and beautiful girls.
In 2003, to the permanent members of the team,Maximilian and Chernitsyn Roman, joined the guitarist Nikolai Trofimov, their good friend from the times of the Volgograd projects. Later in the group came another musician - violinist Alexander Luchkov. In this composition the guys are still performing, only they call themselves the main (Maxim, Roman) and the secondary (Nikolai, Alexander) part of the group.
In 2002, fans heard quite differentsongs of the group "Plasma". The album, titled "607", the meaning of which no one recognized, was released in late 2002. It included serious, mature and very lyrical compositions, which once again confirmed that "Plasma" is a progressive group of the Russian pop scene, capable of successful experiments and reincarnations. Thanks to the album "607" the band was also recognized in France, Finland, the Baltic States, where the guys went on tour.
After a short break the collective returned toTo his fans with a new collection of songs called Black and White. The group "Plasma", the clips on the songs which were always exciting, and the song One Life from the third album was able to release a video with a deep fascinating plot. The story told of a sick girl lying in a glass chamber isolated from the outside world. The doomed of the last forces hopes for a miracle, and it happens: in her life her Majesty the Love appears and saves her. The director of the video was Kevin Jackson.
Another song from this album, worthy of attention, was Living in the Past. The song interested foreign DJs, who created a large number of remixes on it.
In 2007, together with Vodonaeva Alyona, the guys from "Plasma" recorded their first Russian-language song "Paper Sky".
In 2009, the band tried with NeverEnding Story to get to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, but unfortunately they did not succeed in it - another participant won the selection. In the same year, two of their new songs were released: The Real Song and Mystery (The Power Within). The last song was filmed in 2010.
In the same year, 2010, the soloist of the group "Plasma"Chernitsyn Roman promised to please fans with new works in the near future. And kept his word - in 2011 came their single Angel of Snow, and in 2013, another one - Black Leather Boys. In total for the entire history of the band's existence, three albums, eighteen singles and eight video clips were released. Someone might say that this is not so much, given that the group has existed for more than 20 years. But who of the representatives of modern Russian pop culture can compete with "Plasma" on the quality of their work? Each of their songs is a hit, each album is a sensation, each clip is an amazing and memorable sight. This is victory! In addition, the teams that exist and are actively developing in Russia for more than twenty years, can be counted on the fingers. And "Plasma" among them. We will wait for new victories of all beloved collective.
