Time Out - albums, concerts, discography. group time out


History of education

Vladislav Zorin announced a performance by the rock band Time Out in several cities. Posters and tickets were printed. However, the team for which Zorin prepared performances suddenly broke up. Zorin turned to Molchanov and Minaev with a request to perform under the name “Time-Out”, and the tour was a success - at that time the group played popular and dense Soviet hard rock, and the lyrics corresponded to the poetics of perestroika. This is how the group acquired its modern name.

Radio

On May 30, 1991, the first radio broadcast was broadcast on Radio SNC, hosted by Molchanov and Minaev: “Hello, the kvachi have arrived.” As part of the program, the musicians immersed radio listeners in the discourse of kvachas - this is how the group’s fans later began to be called.

After the closure of Radio SNC, the program tried to settle on radio Rakurs, and then found a true second life on radio Silver Rain. The transfer is now closed.

Motology

Pavel Molchanov found a sign in the trash that said “Dentist” and decided to hang it on the door of his room. But the sign turned out to be wider, and so he cut off the “Hundred” prefix. This is how motology and motologists were born. ABOUT alternating o-a, motologists are silent. No, they are not keeping silent. At the beginning of their journey, motologists were asked the question: “Do you swear?” It is assumed that the word-forming law of complete consonance has worked.

Fun facts

The word “Zopuh” was born as a transliteration of the surname “Zorin”: 30PUH. An amused Minaev read the name written on the poster artistic director as if it were written in Latin.

Conquest of the Pole

One of the most famous Time Out concerts to the general public took place on April 21, 1995 for 12 minutes... at the North Pole with a wind speed of 5 m/s and a temperature of −38 °C. In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole. Moreover, this concert went down in the history of both motorology and the world. And the Time Out group is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the only group to give a 12-minute concert at the North Pole.

Notes

Pavel Molchanov left the group and created the Creative Workshop "Fortissimo" At the end of 2009, Pavel Molchanov, known in Motological circles as Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy, left the team and created the creative workshop “Fortissimo”. Studio "Fortissimo" is engaged in the search for talented, spiritual children, as well as in the education and development of creativity in the child. Today TM "Fortissimo" has dozens of students who show very impressive results! The studio also actively participates in various competitions, concerts, television and radio programs.

A newly formed group called “Shock” joined the Moscow Rock Laboratory, where Minaev met Pavel Molchanov, at that time the vocalist of the group “Martin”. Things with “Martin” left much to be desired, and Minaev lured Molchanov to join his ensemble, thereby forming the creative backbone of the group for many years (Molchanov - Minaev).

Era of Zorin

Over the next two years, under the patronage of Zorin, the group traveled North Caucasus, Urals and Far East. The frantic pace of work, when the musicians were not at home for months, and the unstable composition were combined with the not always well-thought-out organization of tours. From time to time we had to put up with the lack of basic amenities. In such conditions, the “science of highs” was born, and with it a whole cycle of prose, poetry, songs and jokes, which for the time being, as well as Motology itself, remained in the shadows.

By 1989, the first historical composition of the group was formed: Pavel Molchanov - vocals, Alexander Minaev - bass guitar, Vladimir Pavlov (Yokhan Palych) - electric guitar and Yuri Shipilov - drums. The ensemble parted ways with Zorin, having received from him the right to the name that had already been assigned to the group, and upon returning to Moscow, they recorded their first album, “We Love You,” consisting of program songs from the rapidly passing era of “Zopukha.”

In 1990 religious reasons Yuri Shipilov left the group. His place was taken by a longtime acquaintance of Pavel Molchanov from the days of “Martin” Andrei Rodin (Kislorodin).

Hello! The quachas have arrived!

In 1991, a longtime acquaintance of the group from the Moscow Rock Laboratory, Yuri Spiridonov, invited Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev to his “Parents’ Day” radio program SNC. The musicians did not lose face and, having seriously prepared, staged a live a real bacchanalia. Introducing themselves as veterans of domestic rock and roll Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdym (Molchanov) and Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnshtein (Minaev), the guests sang songs for the entire hour, read motological treatises and generally had fun to the fullest. The release date of this program, May 29, 1991, is considered the “birthday of motorology.”

Dashing jokes and a shocking image, which were, to put it mildly, new for domestic radio, were liked by listeners and the “veterans” were invited to permanent job. New show called “Hello! The kwachas have arrived!” But there were also dissatisfied people. The presenters, according to spiteful critics, were in a state of strong alcohol and/or drug intoxication during the broadcasts, which Minaev and Molchanov themselves have repeatedly denied. The radio station received demands to close the program. Then SNC director Stas Namin stood up for the duo, giving the program carte blanche to broadcast.

Despite such scandalous fame, “Zdrastenafig” was nominated for the “Golden Ostap” award in the category “Best Humorous Radio Broadcast”, eventually receiving a silver statuette.

After the closure of SNC radio in 1992, the program aired on RaKurs radio, then, after a short period of wandering around radio frequencies, in 1996 it settled on Silver Rain radio.

In 1997, Pavel Molchanov resigned as presenter, and his place was taken by Sergei Stepanov (Gagey Gageich Sikorsky-Koncheny).

In the period from 1999 to 2000, the MTV Russia channel aired a television version of the program with the same presenters.

In 2000, “Hello!” moved to Nashe Radio. Molchanov returned to the place of the departed Stepanov.

The latest incarnation of the program under the new name “NAKHN (On the move of the foot)” was broadcast in the periods 2003-2005 on radio “On-line” and 2005-2006 on radio “Yunost”. The presenters were Alexander Minaev (Akaky Nazarych Zirnbirnstein (ANZ)) and Evgeny Rybov (Nagunail Parallapsovich Permindyur (NPP)).

Motology

Impressed by the success on the radio, motology, which until recently was the property of a narrow circle of friends, began to penetrate into the work of the ensemble.

In 1991, Time-Out recorded his first motorcycle album, Medical Equipment. Songs such as “Somewhere beyond the forest a cactus is rotting,” “Handbag hole” and “Where are my cogs” received a warm reception on the radio, and the group went on tour under the banner of the science of getting high. At this moment, Vladimir Pavlov left the ensemble without explanation. Alexander Minaev, in search of a replacement, remembered the guitarist of the group “Legion”, with which Time-Out often toured, and offered him a job in the ensemble. This is how Sergei Stepanov appeared in the team. Around the same time, against the backdrop of an increase in keyboard parts in the program, Roman Mukhachev, who was a longtime friend of Molchanov and more than once helped the ensemble as a session musician, joined the group. Molchanov’s colleague with Minaev on the radio also joined the team as director SNC Erkin Tuzmukhamedov. The list of radio colleagues involved in the affairs of the ensemble did not end with this: Robert Rednikin and Sergei Pedchenko worked as sound engineers at different times.

The group began to evolve musically. If earlier the basis of the repertoire was heavy metal, somewhat diluted with lyrical ballads, then with the advent of motorology, the stylistic range began to expand. Vivid examples This transformation can be considered such songs as “Pancakes with sour cream”, “Yokhan Palych”, “Plyuts about tsatseta”, “Country” (formerly known as “Dance about hemorrhoids”), etc. But the main find was the performance of a cover of the composition “Pinocchio” from the 1975 film of the same name. The song fits so well into the motological ideology that the ensemble still performs it to this day.

Concerts dedicated to the celebrations of the “Motological New Year” in the fall and the “Anniversary of the Motological Movement” in the spring have become traditional for the group.

As a quintet, the group toured until 1995, during which time they recorded two live albums and gained a reputation as one of the best live rock bands.

In 1995, Roman Mukhachev was fired from the group on the grounds of “systematic absenteeism from concerts.”

Conquest of the Pole

In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole. Moreover, this concert went down in the history of both motorology and the world. This is confirmed by the corresponding entry in the Guinness Book of Records. From that moment on, Time Out became a legendary band. And on March 26, 2006, on the air of the Russian Records Show program (DTV channel), in memory of the legendary performance, the team even received an award from the hands of Vladimir Turchinsky.

Quartet

The group gained particular popularity among bikers. Among other things, this was facilitated by the song “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to the love of riding motorcycles. Under the patronage of the Night Wolves, the ensemble began to take part in the club’s annual bike shows. In particular, Minaev and Molchanov were the permanent presenters of these events from 1995 to 1999, and the director of the team, Erkin Tuzmukhamedov, began publishing the magazine “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to everything that is ridden.

The second half of the 1990s passed for the group under the banner of consolidating its achievements. The group did not experience a shortage of material, which made it possible to consistently release albums until 2001.

In addition to the magazine mentioned above, ale also began to be produced under the brand name of the Motological Music Ensemble. “Khmel Time-Out” was bottled in 1.5 liter bottles and sold directly at the band’s concert venues. This drink is not currently available.

In 1999, in the program “Hello!” The “Thin Ear” competition section appeared, during which the hosts played songs by unknown and beginning musicians. The finalists had the opportunity to perform at a festival organized by the group, which took place on April 8, 2000 at the Svalka club. The headliner was Time Out himself.

In June 2000, the group took part in the Russian rock festival “Wings”.

Trio

At the end of 2001, Sergei Stepanov left the group. The ensemble began performing in a trio format, sometimes inviting session musicians to concerts. The album recorded by this line-up was never released. The official comment on the current situation was extremely brief: “We cannot reach an agreement with the publishers.” However, new songs could be heard at concerts and on the radio.

On January 26, 2003, the second “Thin Ear” festival took place at the “B2” club, but without radio support. October 24, 2003 at Central House The artist gave the first acoustic concert in the history of the group, where Pavel Molchanov played the piano, Alexander Minaev on the guitar, and Andrey Rodin on percussion. The experiment was successful. Thus, the number of electric performances is being reduced in favor of acoustic and unplugged concerts.

Additional Information

  • Pavel Molchanov found a sign from the door of a dentist's office, broken into two parts, in a trash heap. The smaller one with the inscription “one hundred” seemed to him not capacious enough, but the second one with the proud inscription “matologist” now hung on Molchanov’s door. Over time, when the motological ensemble began to gain fame, a problem arose with radio stations that did not want to put in rotation the group’s songs with the motivation “the matological group seems to be swearing.” Then the “a” in the word was changed to “o”. . This is what it is at the moment official version. However, in many interviews motologists put forward a different version. According to her, the sign was not glass, it was simply long, and therefore Pavel Molchanov had to saw it off so that it would fit on the door of his room.
  • The word “Zopuh” was born as a transliteration of the surname “Zorin”: 30PUH. The amused Minaev read the name of the artistic director written on the poster as if it were written in Latin.
  • After leaving the ensemble, Pavel Molchanov and his wife created the creative workshop “Fortissimo”. Studio "Fortissimo" is engaged in the search for talented, spiritualized children, as well as in the education and development of creativity in the child. Today, TM “Fortissimo” has dozens of students who show very impressive results. The studio also actively participates in various competitions, concerts, television and radio programs.
  • The ensemble is a laureate in several categories of the Prize of the Foundation for Lost Childhood.
  • On October 20, 1995, at a concert in the Gorbunov House of Culture, dedicated to the celebration of the Motological New Year, a party of beer lovers organized the sale of Zhigulevskoe beer in glass bottles for Soviet-style money. One bottle cost 37 kopecks, and for overpayments they gave change in Soviet money. Particularly noteworthy is that empty bottles could be returned and received 12 kopecks.
  • In the mid-90s. Together with Kirill Nemolyaev, the group organized the “Rock in Defense of the Phonogram” event, where they performed songs by other performers to the plus phonogram.

We went out, put on bunny masks, and I announced: “The American group “Zasos” is performing!” And after that the “Kiss” record was played. After all, if you look at things honestly, then the situation with singing to “plywood” is, in general, abnormal. we brought it to its logical conclusion, complete absurdity, complete insanity.

Notes

  1. The group of failed tourers existed under the same name for several more years (see. Alekseev A., Burlaka A., Sidorov A.// Who's who in Soviet rock. Illustrated Encyclopedia national rock music. - M.: Publishing house MP "Ostankino", 1991. - 320 p. - ISBN 5-86018-001-2.), which created a bit of confusion, especially as the "new" Time Out began to gain prominence.
  2. Complex pseudonyms were invented on the advice of Yuri Spiridonov. “You have a motorological transmission, let the names be appropriate,” Spiridonov motivated his proposal.

Excerpt characterizing Time Out (group)

– Why did you come here? - asked the newcomer, following the rustle made by Pierre, turning in his direction. - Why do you, who do not believe in the truths of the light and do not see the light, why did you come here, what do you want from us? Wisdom, virtue, enlightenment?
The minute the door opened and he walked in Unknown person, Pierre experienced a feeling of fear and reverence, similar to the one he experienced in confession as a child: he felt face to face with a complete stranger in terms of living conditions and with a person close to him in the brotherhood of people. Pierre, with a breathless heartbeat, moved towards the rhetorician (that was the name in Freemasonry for the brother who prepares the seeker for entry into the brotherhood). Pierre, coming closer, recognized in the rhetorician a familiar person, Smolyaninov, but it was insulting to him to think that the person who entered was a familiar person: the person who entered was only a brother and a virtuous mentor. Pierre could not utter the words for a long time, so the rhetorician had to repeat his question.
“Yes, I... I... want an update,” Pierre said with difficulty.
“Okay,” said Smolyaninov, and immediately continued: “Do you have any idea about the means by which our holy order will help you achieve your goal?...” said the rhetorician calmly and quickly.
“I... hope... guidance... help... in renewal,” said Pierre with a trembling voice and difficulty in speaking, arising both from excitement and from the unfamiliarity of speaking in Russian about abstract subjects.
– What concept do you have about Freemasonry?
– I mean that Frank Freemasonry is a fraterienité [brotherhood]; and the equality of people with virtuous goals,” said Pierre, ashamed as he spoke of the inconsistency of his words with the solemnity of the moment. I mean…
“Okay,” the rhetorician said hastily, apparently quite satisfied with this answer. – Have you been looking for means to achieve your goal in religion?
“No, I considered it unfair and did not follow it,” Pierre said so quietly that the rhetorician did not hear him and asked what he was saying. “I was an atheist,” answered Pierre.
– You are looking for truth in order to follow its laws in life; therefore, you are seeking wisdom and virtue, are you not? - said the rhetorician after a minute of silence.
“Yes, yes,” Pierre confirmed.
The rhetorician cleared his throat, folded his gloved hands on his chest and began to speak:
“Now I must reveal to you the main goal of our order,” he said, “and if this goal coincides with yours, then you will benefit from joining our brotherhood.” First main goal and the entire foundation of our order, on which it is established, and which no human power can overthrow, is the preservation and transmission to posterity of some important sacrament... from the most ancient centuries and even from the first person who came down to us, on whom the sacrament, perhaps, depends the fate of the human race. But since this sacrament is of such a nature that no one can know it or use it unless one has prepared oneself through long-term and diligent purification, not everyone can hope to find it soon. Therefore, we have a second goal, which is to prepare our members as much as possible, correct their hearts, purify and enlighten their minds with those means that have been revealed to us by tradition from men who have labored in seeking this sacrament, and thereby make them capable of the perception of it. By purifying and correcting our members, we try, thirdly, to correct the entire human race, offering it in our members an example of piety and virtue, and thereby trying with all our might to resist the evil that reigns in the world. Think about this, and I will come to you again,” he said and left the room.
“To resist the evil that reigns in the world...” Pierre repeated, and he imagined his future activities in this field. He imagined the same people as he himself was two weeks ago, and he mentally addressed them with an instructive and mentoring speech. He imagined vicious and unhappy people whom he helped in word and deed; imagined the oppressors from whom he saved their victims. Of the three goals named by the rhetorician, this last one - the correction of the human race - was especially close to Pierre. Some important sacrament mentioned by the rhetorician, although it incited his curiosity, did not seem significant to him; and the second goal, cleansing and correcting himself, occupied him little, because at that moment he felt with pleasure that he was already completely corrected from his previous vices and ready for only one good thing.
Half an hour later, the rhetorician returned to convey to the seeker those seven virtues corresponding to the seven steps of the Temple of Solomon, which every Mason had to cultivate in himself. These virtues were: 1) modesty, respect for the secrets of the order, 2) obedience to the highest ranks of the order, 3) good morals, 4) love of humanity, 5) courage, 6) generosity and 7) love of death.
“Seventhly, try,” said the rhetorician, “by frequently thinking about death to bring yourself to the point that it no longer seems to you a terrible enemy, but a friend... who frees the languishing soul from this miserable life in the works of virtue, to introduce it to a place of reward and reassurance.
“Yes, this must be so,” thought Pierre, when after these words the rhetorician left him again, leaving him to solitary reflection. “This should be so, but I am still so weak that I love my life, the meaning of which is only now gradually revealed to me.” But the other five virtues, which Pierre remembered as he ran through his fingers, he felt in his soul: courage, generosity, kindness, love for humanity, and especially obedience, which did not even seem to him a virtue, but happiness. (He was so happy now to get rid of his arbitrariness and subordinate his will to those and those who knew the undoubted truth.) Pierre forgot the seventh virtue and could not remember it.
The third time, the rhetorician returned quickly and asked Pierre if he was still firm in his intention, and whether he dared to subject himself to everything that was required of him.
“I’m ready for anything,” said Pierre.
“I must also tell you,” said the rhetorician, “that our order teaches its teaching not only in words, but by other means, which, perhaps, have a stronger effect on the true seeker of wisdom and virtue than verbal explanations alone.” This temple, with its decoration, which you see, should have already explained to your heart, if it is sincere, more than words; you will see, perhaps, with your further acceptance similar image explanations. Our Order imitates ancient societies that revealed their teachings in hieroglyphs. A hieroglyph, said the rhetorician, is the name of some thing not subject to feelings, which contains qualities similar to the one depicted.
Pierre knew very well what a hieroglyph was, but did not dare to speak. He listened silently to the rhetorician, feeling from everything that the tests would begin immediately.
“If you are firm, then I must begin to introduce you,” said the rhetorician, approaching Pierre closer. “As a sign of generosity, I ask you to give me all your precious things.”
“But I have nothing with me,” said Pierre, who believed that they were demanding that he give up everything he had.
– What you have on: watches, money, rings...
Pierre hastily took out his wallet and watch, and for a long time could not take it off his fat finger. wedding ring. When this was done, the Mason said:
– As a sign of obedience, I ask you to undress. - Pierre took off his tailcoat, vest and left boot as directed by the rhetorician. The Mason opened the shirt on his left chest, and, bending down, lifted his trouser leg on his left leg above the knee. Pierre hastily wanted to take off his right boot and roll up his trousers in order to save a stranger from this labor, but the Mason told him that this was not necessary - and handed him a shoe on his left foot. With a childish smile of modesty, doubt and self-mockery, which appeared on his face against his will, Pierre stood with his arms down and legs apart in front of his brother the rhetorician, awaiting his new orders.
“And finally, as a sign of sincerity, I ask you to reveal to me your main passion,” he said.
- My passion! I had so many,” Pierre said.
“That passion which, more than any other, made you hesitate on the path of virtue,” said the Mason.
Pierre paused, searching.
"Wine? Consolidation? Idleness? Laziness? Hotness? Anger? Women?" He went over his vices, mentally weighing them and not knowing which one to give priority to.
“Women,” Pierre said in a quiet, barely audible voice. The Mason did not move or speak for a long time after this answer. Finally he moved towards Pierre, took the handkerchief lying on the table and again blindfolded him.
– For the last time I tell you: turn all your attention to yourself, put chains on your feelings and look for bliss not in passions, but in your heart. The source of bliss is not outside, but within us...
Pierre already felt within himself this refreshing source of bliss, now filling his soul with joy and tenderness.

Soon after this, it was no longer the former rhetorician who came for Pierre into the dark temple, but the guarantor Villarsky, whom he recognized by his voice. To new questions about the firmness of his intentions, Pierre answered: “Yes, yes, I agree,” and with a radiant childish smile, with an open, fat chest, unevenly and timidly walking with one barefoot and one shod foot, he went forward with Villarsky placed at his side. bare chest with a sword. From the room he was led along corridors, turning back and forth, and finally led to the doors of the box. Villarsky coughed, he was answered with Masonic knocks of hammers, the door opened in front of them. Someone's bass voice (Pierre's eyes were still blindfolded) asked him questions about who he was, where, when he was born? etc. Then they took him somewhere again, without untying his eyes, and while he walked they told him allegories about the labors of his journey, about sacred friendship, about the eternal Builder of the world, about the courage with which he must endure labor and danger . During this journey, Pierre noticed that he was called either a seeker, or a sufferer, or a demander, and at the same time they knocked him with hammers and swords in different ways. While he was being led to some subject, he noticed that there was confusion and confusion between his leaders. He heard how the surrounding people argued among themselves in whispers and how one insisted that he be led along some kind of carpet. After this, they took his right hand, placed it on something, and with his left they ordered him to put a compass to his left chest, and forced him, repeating the words that the other was reading, to read the oath of allegiance to the laws of the order. Then they put out the candles, lit alcohol, as Pierre heard by the smell, and said that he would see a small light. The bandage was removed from him, and Pierre, as if in a dream, saw, in the faint light of the alcohol fire, several people who, wearing the same aprons as the rhetorician, stood opposite him and held swords pointed at his chest. Between them stood a man in a white, bloody shirt. Seeing this, Pierre moved his chest forward towards the swords, wanting them to stick into him. But the swords pulled away from him and the bandage was immediately put on him again. “Now you have seen a small light,” someone’s voice told him. Then they lit the candles again, said that he needed to see the full light, and again they took off the blindfold and more than ten voices suddenly said: sic transit gloria mundi. [this is how worldly glory passes.]
Pierre gradually began to come to his senses and look around the room where he was and the people in it. Around a long table covered in black sat about twelve people, all in the same clothes as those he had seen before. Pierre knew some of them from St. Petersburg society. An unfamiliar young man sat in the chair, wearing a special cross around his neck. On the right hand sat the Italian abbot, whom Pierre had seen two years ago at Anna Pavlovna's. There was also one very important dignitary and a Swiss tutor who had previously lived with the Kuragins. Everyone was solemnly silent, listening to the words of the chairman, who was holding a hammer in his hand. There was a burning star embedded in the wall; on one side of the table there was a small carpet with various images, on the other there was something like an altar with a Gospel and a skull. Around the table there were 7 large, church-like candlesticks. Two of the brothers brought Pierre to the altar, put his legs in a rectangular position and ordered him to lie down, saying that he was throwing himself towards the gates of the temple.
“He must get a shovel first,” one of the brothers said in a whisper.
- A! completeness please,” said another.
Pierre, with confused, myopic eyes, disobeying, looked around him, and suddenly doubt came over him. "Where I am? What am I doing? Are they laughing at me? Will I be ashamed to remember this? But this doubt lasted only for an instant. Pierre looked back at the serious faces of the people around him, remembered everything he had already gone through, and realized that he could not stop halfway. He was horrified by his doubt and, trying to evoke the same feeling of tenderness in himself, threw himself towards the gates of the temple. And indeed a feeling of tenderness, even stronger than before, came over him. When he had been lying there for some time, they ordered him to get up and put on him the same white leather apron that the others were wearing, they gave him a shovel and three pairs of gloves, and then Great master turned to him. He told him to try not to stain the whiteness of this apron, which represents strength and purity; then about the unknown shovel he said that he should work with it to cleanse his heart from vices and condescendingly smooth over the heart of his neighbor with it. Then about the first men’s gloves he said that he could not know their meaning, but must keep them, about other men’s gloves he said that he should wear them in meetings, and finally about the third women’s gloves he said: “Dear brother, and these women’s gloves are for you.” the essence is determined. Give them to the woman you will honor the most. With this gift, assure the one whom you choose as a worthy stonemason of the integrity of your heart.” And after being silent for a while, he added: “But be careful, dear brother, that these gloves are not adorned by unclean hands.” While the great master was saying these last words, It seemed to Pierre that the chairman was embarrassed. Pierre became even more embarrassed, blushed to the point of tears, like children blush, began to look around restlessly, and an awkward silence ensued.
This silence was interrupted by one of the brothers, who, leading Pierre to the carpet, began to read from a notebook an explanation of all the figures depicted on it: the sun, the moon, the hammer. a plumb line, a shovel, a wild and cubic stone, a pillar, three windows, etc. Then Pierre was assigned his place, they showed him the signs of the box, said the opening word and finally allowed him to sit down. The Great Master began to read the charter. The charter was very long, and Pierre, from joy, excitement and shame, was not able to understand what was being read. He listened only to the last words of the charter, which he remembered.
“In our temples we do not know other degrees,” the great master read, “except those that are between virtue and vice. Beware of making any distinction that might violate equality. Fly to the aid of your brother, no matter who he is, guide the erring one, lift up the falling one, and never harbor anger or enmity against your brother. Be kind and friendly. Stir up the fire of virtue in all hearts. Share your happiness with your neighbor, and may envy never disturb this pure pleasure. Forgive your enemy, do not take revenge on him, except by doing him good. Having thus fulfilled the highest law, you will find traces of the ancient majesty you have lost.”
He finished and, standing up, hugged Pierre and kissed him. Pierre, with tears of joy in his eyes, looked around him, not knowing how to respond to the congratulations and renewal of acquaintances with whom he was surrounded. He did not recognize any acquaintances; in all these people he saw only brothers with whom he was eager to get down to business.
The great master slammed his hammer, everyone sat down, and one read a lesson on the need for humility.
The great master offered to perform the last duty, and an important dignitary, who bore the title of alms collector, began to make the rounds of the brothers. Pierre wanted to write down all the money he had on the alms sheet, but he was afraid to show pride by doing so, and he wrote down the same amount as others wrote down.
The meeting was over, and upon returning home, it seemed to Pierre that he had come from some long journey, where he had spent dozens of years, had completely changed and fell behind the previous order and habits of life.

The next day after being admitted to the lodge, Pierre sat at home, reading a book and trying to understand the meaning of the square, which depicted God on one side, moral on the other, physical on the third, and mixed on the fourth. From time to time he looked up from the book and the square and in his imagination made up a new life plan for himself. Yesterday in the box he was told that a rumor about a duel had reached the sovereign's attention, and that it would be more prudent for Pierre to leave St. Petersburg. Pierre intended to go to his southern estates and take care of his peasants there. He happily thought about this new life, when suddenly Prince Vasily entered the room.
– My friend, what have you done in Moscow? Why did you quarrel with Lelya, mon сher? [my dear?] “You are mistaken,” said Prince Vasily, entering the room. “I found out everything, I can tell you correctly that Helen is innocent before you, like Christ before the Jews.” - Pierre wanted to answer, but he interrupted him. “And why didn’t you address me directly and simply as a friend?” “I know everything, I understand everything,” he said, “you behaved as befits a person who values ​​​​his honor; It may be too hasty, but we won’t judge that. Just remember the position in which you place her and me in the eyes of the whole society and even the court,” he added, lowering his voice. – She lives in Moscow, you are here. Remember, my dear,” he pulled him down by the hand, “there is one misunderstanding here; I think you feel it yourself. Write a letter with me now, and she will come here, everything will be explained, otherwise I’ll tell you, you can get hurt very easily, my dear.
Prince Vasily looked at Pierre impressively. “I know from good sources that the Empress Dowager takes a keen interest in this whole matter.” You know, she is very merciful to Helen.
Several times Pierre was going to speak, but on the one hand, Prince Vasily did not allow him to do so, on the other hand, Pierre himself was afraid to start speaking in that tone of decisive refusal and disagreement in which he firmly decided to answer his father-in-law. In addition, the words of the Masonic charter: “be kind and friendly” came to his mind. He winced, blushed, stood up and fell down, working on himself in the most difficult task in his life - to say something unpleasant to a person’s face, to say something that was not what this person, no matter who he was, expected. He was so accustomed to obeying this tone of Prince Vasily’s careless self-confidence that even now he felt that he would not be able to resist it; but he felt that everything would depend on what he said now further fate him: will he follow the old, former path, or along that new one, which was so attractively shown to him by the Masons, and on which he firmly believed that he would find rebirth to a new life.
“Well, my dear,” said Prince Vasily jokingly, “tell me: “yes,” and I will write to her on my own behalf, and we will kill the fat calf.” - But Prince Vasily did not have time to finish his joke, when Pierre, with a fury in his face that reminded him of his father, without looking into the eyes of his interlocutor, said in a whisper:
- Prince, I didn’t call you to my place, go, please, go! “He jumped up and opened the door for him.
“Go,” he repeated, not believing himself and rejoicing at the expression of embarrassment and fear that appeared on Prince Vasily’s face.
- What happened to you? You are sick?
- Go! – the trembling voice spoke again. And Prince Vasily had to leave without receiving any explanation.
A week later, Pierre, having said goodbye to his new friends, the Freemasons, and leaving them large sums of alms, left for his estates. His new brothers gave him letters to Kyiv and Odessa, to the Freemasons there, and promised to write to him and guide him in his new activities.

The affair between Pierre and Dolokhov was hushed up, and, despite the sovereign’s then strictness regarding duels, neither both opponents nor their seconds were harmed. But the story of the duel, confirmed by Pierre’s breakup with his wife, became public in society. Pierre, who was looked upon condescendingly and patronizingly when he was an illegitimate son, who was caressed and glorified when he was the best groom Russian Empire, after his marriage, when brides and mothers had nothing to expect from him, he lost much in the opinion of society, especially since he did not know how and did not want to curry public favor. Now he alone was blamed for what had happened, they said that he was a stupid jealous person, subject to the same fits of bloodthirsty rage as his father. And when, after Pierre’s departure, Helen returned to St. Petersburg, she was not only cordially, but with a touch of respect for her misfortune, received by all her acquaintances. When the conversation turned to her husband, Helen adopted a dignified expression, which she, although not understanding its meaning, with her characteristic tact, adopted for herself. This expression said that she decided to endure her misfortune without complaining, and that her husband was a cross sent to her from God. Prince Vasily expressed his opinion more openly. He shrugged his shoulders when the conversation turned to Pierre, and, pointing to his forehead, said:
– Un cerveau fele – je le disais toujours. [Half-crazy – I always said that.]
“I said in advance,” Anna Pavlovna said about Pierre, “I said then and now, and before everyone else (she insisted on her primacy), that he is a crazy young man, spoiled by the depraved ideas of the century.” I said this back then, when everyone admired him and he had just arrived from abroad, and remember, one evening I thought he was some kind of Marat. How did it end? I didn’t want this wedding then and predicted everything that would happen.
Anna Pavlovna still gave at her free days such evenings as before, and such as she alone had the gift of arranging, evenings at which she gathered, firstly, la creme de la veritable bonne societe, la fine fleur de l "essence intellectuelle de la societe de Petersbourg, [the cream real good society, the color of the intellectual essence of St. Petersburg society,] as Anna Pavlovna herself said.In addition to this refined choice of society, Anna Pavlovna’s evenings were also distinguished by the fact that every time at her evening Anna Pavlovna presented her society with something new, interesting face, and that nowhere, as at these evenings, was the degree of the political thermometer at which the mood of the court legitimist St. Petersburg society stood so clearly and firmly expressed.
At the end of 1806, when all the sad details had already been received about Napoleon’s destruction of the Prussian army near Jena and Auerstätt and about the surrender of most of the Prussian fortresses, when our troops had already entered Prussia, and our second war with Napoleon began, Anna Pavlovna gathered at her place evening. La creme de la veritable bonne societe [The cream of real good society] consisted of the charming and unhappy Helene, abandoned by her husband, from MorteMariet, the charming Prince Hippolyte, who had just arrived from Vienna, two diplomats, an aunt, one young man who enjoyed living room with the name simply d "un homme de beaucoup de merite, [a very worthy person], one newly granted maid of honor with his mother and some other less noticeable persons.
The person with whom Anna Pavlovna treated her guests like a novelty that evening was Boris Drubetskoy, who had just arrived as a courier from the Prussian army and was an aide-de-camp to a very important person.
The temperature of the political thermometer indicated to society this evening was the following: no matter how much all European sovereigns and commanders try to pander to Bonaparte, in order to cause me and us in general these troubles and sorrows, our opinion about Bonaparte cannot change. We will not stop expressing our unfeigned thoughts on this matter, and we can only say to the Prussian king and others: so much the worse for you. Tu l "as voulu, George Dandin, [You wanted this, Georges Dandin,] that's all we can say. That's what the political thermometer indicated at Anna Pavlovna's evening. When Boris, who was supposed to be presented to the guests, entered the living room, Almost the entire company was already assembled, and the conversation, led by Anna Pavlovna, was about our diplomatic relations with Austria and the hope of an alliance with it.
Boris, in a smart adjutant uniform, matured, fresh and ruddy, freely entered the living room and was taken, as it should be, to greet his aunt and again joined the general circle.
Anna Pavlovna gave him her withered hand to kiss, introduced him to some faces unfamiliar to him and identified each one to him in a whisper.
– Le Prince Hyppolite Kouraguine – charmant jeune homme. M r Kroug charge d "affaires de Kopenhague - un esprit profond, and simply: M r Shittoff un homme de beaucoup de merite [Prince Ippolit Kuragin, a dear young man. G. Krug, Copenhagen chargé d'affaires, deep mind. G. Shitov , a very worthy person] about the one who bore this name.
During this time of his service, Boris, thanks to the concerns of Anna Mikhailovna, his own tastes and the properties of his restrained character, managed to put himself in the most advantageous position in his service. He was an adjutant to a very important person, had a very important mission to Prussia, and had just returned from there by courier. He had fully assimilated that unwritten subordination that he liked in Olmutz, according to which an ensign could stand without comparison above a general, and according to which, for success in the service, what was needed was not effort in the service, not labor, not courage, not constancy, but it was necessary only the ability to deal with those who reward service - and he himself was often surprised at his rapid successes and how others could not understand this. As a result of this discovery, his entire way of life, all his relationships with former acquaintances, all his plans for the future - completely changed. He was not rich, but he used the last of his money to be better dressed than others; he would rather deprive himself of many pleasures than allow himself to ride in a bad carriage or appear in an old uniform on the streets of St. Petersburg. He became close and sought acquaintance only with people who were higher than him and therefore could be useful to him. He loved St. Petersburg and despised Moscow. The memory of the Rostovs’ house and his childhood love for Natasha was unpleasant for him, and since leaving for the army he had never been to the Rostovs. In Anna Pavlovna's living room, in which he considered his presence to be an important promotion, he now immediately understood his role and allowed Anna Pavlovna to take advantage of the interest that lay in him, carefully observing each face and assessing the benefits and possibilities of rapprochement with each of them . He sat down in the place indicated to him near the beautiful Helen, and listened to the general conversation.

The Time-Out group is a Soviet and Russian group representing the rock genre. The project was founded in 1987 by Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev. The group became the founder of the cult of motorology.

Start

In 1986, Alexander Minaev had already played in several bands and decided to organize a project that would represent heavy metal. The newly formed team was named “Shock” and became a member of the Moscow Rock Laboratory. It was there that Alexander Minaev met Pavel Molchanov. At that time, the latter was the vocalist of the Martin group. Minaev called Molchanov to his place. Thus, the future rock band “Time Out” found its creative basis for many years.

In 1987, Vladislav Zorin, music director, met the “Shock” project. At a certain point, his group refused to tour the North Caucasus. At the same time, the concerts have already been announced and posters posted. The group that refused was called Time Out. As a result, the director began to look for a team that would agree to perform under someone else’s name. Molchanov and Minaev accepted the offer, thereby beginning the history of the new team.

Era of Zorin

Under the patronage of the above-mentioned musical director, for two years the Time-Out group traveled Far East, Urals and North Caucasus. This period was characterized by a frantic pace of work, when the musicians were not home for months, instability of the lineup and not always good organization of tours. From time to time, musicians were forced to put up with the fact that they did not have basic amenities at their disposal. It was under these conditions that “The Science of the High” was created. With her came a whole series of poems, prose, jokes and songs.

Thus, we can say that “Time-Out” is a group that became the pioneer of the direction of motorology, which until a certain point was still in the shadows.

By 1989, the historical composition of the group had been formed: vocals - Pavel Molchanov, bass guitar - Alexander Minaev, electric guitar - Vladimir Pavlov, drums - Yuri Shipilov. The group parted ways with Zorin and received from him the right to the name, which was already assigned to this association.

After returning to Moscow, the musicians recorded their first album entitled “We Love You.” In 1990, Yuri Shipilov left the group for religious reasons. Andrei Rodin, an acquaintance of Pavel Molchanov, came to the vacant seat.

"The quachas have arrived"

The Time Out group got on the radio. This happened due to the fact that in 1991, Yuri Spiridonov (a friend of the team from the Moscow Rock Laboratory) invited its leaders to his program called “Parents’ Day,” which aired on SNC. The musicians seriously prepared and staged a real bacchanalia live. Introducing themselves as rock and roll veterans Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnstein and Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdym, the guests had fun for an hour, read out musical treatises, and also sang songs. The program aired in 1991, on May 29. This date became the birthday of motorology.

The shocking image and dashing jokes appealed to the taste of the listeners. As a result, the musicians were invited to permanent collaboration. The new program was called “Hello! The kwachas have arrived!” There were also some dissatisfied people. Demands to stop the broadcast rained down on the station. Stas Namin, director of SNC, stood up for the duo and gave the project carte blanche to broadcast. Despite all the scandalous fame, the program was nominated for the Golden Ostap award and received a silver statuette. After the closure of the SNC station in 1992, the project was broadcast on RaKurs. Then there was a period of wandering across frequencies. In 1996, the program settled on “Silver Rain”.

Motology

Thanks to success on the radio, a trend that had long been the property of a circle of friends began to penetrate into creativity. In 1991, the Time-Out group recorded their debut motorcycle album entitled “Medical Equipment”. Some songs received a warm reception on the radio, and the band went on tour. It was at this time that Vladimir Pavlov left the group.

Alexander Minaev, while looking for a replacement, remembered the musician of the Legion band. Both groups often toured together. As a result, Sergei Stepanov joined the team. This is how the Time-Out group found its updated composition.

“Pinocchio” is a song that has turned into one of the main motorological finds. The band played a cover of a song from film of the same name, which was released in 1975. The composition fits into the concept so well that the group still performs it today.

Present tense

In 2009, Pavel Molchanov left the team. Wanting to save the project, Rodin and Minaev invited Roman Mukhachev and Sergei Stepanov. The reshuffle was formalized during the motorcycle New Year celebrations. The concert was divided into three parts: trio, quintet and new line-up. It soon became known that the group would re-record unreleased material, as well as a number of old songs.

In 2010, at the celebration of the motorological New Year, a new album “Cabbage” was presented. At the event, unsold CDs of the band's songs were distributed free of charge. The team was actively involved in tour schedule. The program exists in acoustic and electric formats.

In 2016, Roman Mukhachev went into long-term rehabilitation after a stroke. He also turned to the band's fans asking for help. Olesya Grinfeld, a backing vocalist, took his place. She took part in the work on the album “Cabbage”. Soon Olesya left the group. At the same time, saxophonist, backing vocalist and flutist Evgeniy Chernyakov joined the lineup.

Based on the radio broadcast mentioned above, a four-part film was created called “The Kwachas have arrived!” with Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev in leading roles. According to legend, Pavel Molchanov found a dentist’s sign broken into 2 parts in a garbage dump. The inscription “one hundred” seemed insufficiently meaningful to him. The “matologist” fragment is located on Molchanov’s door.

Current composition

Now you know how the Time Out group was formed. Its composition has changed slightly. Currently, Alexander Minaev plays acoustic and bass guitar and is a vocalist. Evgeny Chernyakov is responsible for flute and saxophone. Andrey Rodin took over drums. Sergey Stepanov plays acoustic and electric guitar, and is also one of the vocalists.

Home[edit | edit wiki text]
In 1986, Alexander Minaev, who managed to play in various bands, decided to organize own project in the style of heavy metal. A newly formed group called “Shock” joined the Moscow Rock Laboratory, where Minaev met Pavel Molchanov, then the vocalist of the group “Martin”. Things with “Martin” left much to be desired, and Minaev lured Molchanov to join his ensemble, thereby forming the creative backbone of the group for many years (Molchanov - Minaev).

In 1987, music director Vladislav Zorin came to Shock. As it turned out, at a crucial moment his ward group, with the name “Time-Out,” refused to tour the North Caucasus, despite the fact that the concerts had already been announced and the posters were posted. This forced him to look for a group that would agree to perform under a different name. After some thought, Minaev and Molchanov agreed. This is how the current “Time Out” began.

Era of Zorin[edit | edit wiki text]
Over the next two years, under the patronage of Zorin, the group traveled to the North Caucasus, the Urals and the Far East. The frantic pace of work, when the musicians were not at home for months, and the unstable composition were combined with the not always well-thought-out organization of tours. From time to time we had to put up with the lack of basic amenities. In such conditions, the “science of highs” was born, and with it a whole cycle of prose, poetry, songs and jokes, which for the time being, as well as Motology itself, remained in the shadows.

By 1989, the first historical composition of the group was formed: Pavel Molchanov - vocals, Alexander Minaev - bass guitar, Vladimir Pavlov (Yokhan Palych) - electric guitar and Yuri Shipilov - drums. The ensemble parted ways with Zorin, having received from him the right to the name that had already been assigned to the group, and upon returning to Moscow, they recorded their first album, “We Love You,” consisting of program songs from the now rapidly passing era of “Zopukha.”

In 1990, Yuri Shipilov left the group for religious reasons. His place was taken by Pavel Molchanov’s longtime acquaintance from the days of “Martin,” Andrei Rodin (Kislorodin).

Hello! The quachas have arrived![edit | edit wiki text]
In 1991, a longtime acquaintance of the group from the Moscow Rock Laboratory, Yuri Spiridonov, invited Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev to his program “Parents' Day” on SNC radio. The musicians did not lose face and, having seriously prepared, staged a real bacchanalia live. Introducing themselves as veterans of domestic rock and roll Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdym (Molchanov) and Akakiy Nazarych Zirnbirnshtein (Minaev), the guests sang songs for the entire hour, read motorcycle treatises and generally had fun to the fullest. The release date of this program, May 29, 1991, is considered the “birthday of motorology.”

The dashing jokes and shocking image, which were, to put it mildly, new to domestic radio, pleased the listeners and the “veterans” were invited to permanent jobs. The new program was called “Hello! The kwachas have arrived!” But there were also dissatisfied people. The presenters, according to spiteful critics, were in a state of strong alcohol and/or drug intoxication during the broadcasts, which Minaev and Molchanov themselves have repeatedly denied. The radio station received demands to close the program. Then SNC director Stas Namin stood up for the duo, giving the show carte blanche to broadcast.

Despite such scandalous fame, “Zdrastenafig” was nominated for the “Golden Ostap” award in the “Best Humorous Radio Broadcast” category, eventually receiving a silver statuette.

After the closure of SNC radio in 1992, the program aired on radio “Rakurs”, then, after a short period of wandering around radio frequencies, in 1996 it settled on radio “Silver Rain”.

In 1997, Pavel Molchanov resigned as presenter, and his place was taken by Sergei Stepanov (Gagey Gageich Sikorsky-Koncheny).

In the period from 1999 to 2000, the MTV channel aired a television version of the program with the same presenters.

In 2000, “Hello!” moved to Nashe Radio. Molchanov returned to the place of the departed Stepanov.

The latest incarnation of the program under the new name “NAKHN (On the move of the foot)” aired in the periods 2003-2005. on radio “On-line” and 2005-2006. on radio "Youth". The presenters were Alexander Minaev (Akaky Nazarych Zirnbirnstein (ANZ)) and Evgeny Rybov (Nagunail Parallapsovich Permindyur (NPP)).

Impressed by the success on the radio, motology, which until recently was the property of a narrow circle of friends, began to penetrate into the ensemble’s work.

In 1991, Time-Out recorded his first motorcycle album, Medical Equipment. Songs such as “Somewhere beyond the forest a cactus is rotting,” “Handbag hole” and “Where are my cogs” received a warm reception on the radio, and the group went on tour under the banner of the science of getting high. At this moment, Vladimir Pavlov left the ensemble without explanation. Alexander Minaev, in search of a replacement, remembered the guitarist of the group “Legion”, with which Time-Out often toured, and offered him a job in the ensemble. This is how Sergei Stepanov appeared in the team. Around the same time, against the backdrop of an increase in keyboard parts in the program, Roman Mukhachev, who was a longtime friend of Molchanov and more than once helped the ensemble as a session musician, joined the group. Molchanov’s colleague with Minaev on SNC radio Erkin Tuzmukhamedov also joined the team as a director. The list of radio colleagues involved in the affairs of the ensemble did not end with this: Robert Rednikin and Sergei Pedchenko worked as sound engineers at different times.

The group began to evolve musically. If earlier the basis of the repertoire was heavy metal, somewhat diluted with lyrical ballads, then with the advent of motorology, the stylistic range began to expand. Vivid examples of this transformation can be considered such songs as “Pancakes with sour cream”, “Yokhan Palych”, “Plyuts about tsatseta”, “Country” (formerly known as “Dance about hemorrhoids”), etc. But the main find was the performance at concerts cover of the song “Pinocchio” from the 1975 film of the same name. The song fits so well into the motological ideology that the ensemble still performs it to this day.

Concerts dedicated to the celebrations of the “Motological New Year” in the fall and the “Anniversary of the Motological Movement” in the spring have become traditional for the group.

As a quintet, the group toured until 1995, during which time they recorded two live albums and gained a reputation as one of the best live rock bands.

In 1995, Roman Mukhachev was fired from the group on the grounds of “systematic absenteeism from concerts.”

Conquest of the Pole[edit | edit wiki text]
On April 21, 1995, one of the most famous Time Out concerts took place, which took place at the geographic point of the North Pole at a wind speed of 5 m/s and a temperature of −25 °C. The duration was about 12 minutes.

In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole. Moreover, this concert went down in the history of both motorology and the world. This is confirmed by the corresponding entry in the Guinness Book of Records.

Quartet[edit | edit wiki text]
The group gained particular popularity among bikers. Among other things, this was facilitated by the song “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to the love of riding motorcycles. Under the patronage of the Night Wolves, the ensemble began to take part in the club’s annual bike shows. In particular, Minaev and Molchanov were the permanent presenters of these events from 1995 to 1999, and the director of the team, Erkin Tuzmukhamedov, began publishing the magazine “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to everything that is ridden.

The second half of the nineties passed for the group under the banner of consolidating its achievements. The group did not experience a shortage of material, which made it possible to consistently release albums until 2001.

In addition to the magazine mentioned above, ale also began to be produced under the brand name of the Motological Music Ensemble. “Khmel Time-Out” was bottled in 1.5 liter bottles and sold directly at the band’s concert venues. This drink is currently not available.

In 1999, in the program “Hello!” The “Thin Ear” competition section appeared, during which the hosts played songs by unknown and beginning musicians. The finalists had the opportunity to perform at a festival organized by the group, which took place on April 8, 2000 at the Svalka club. The headliner was Time Out himself.

In June 2000, the group took part in the Russian rock festival “Wings”.

Trio[edit | edit wiki text]
At the end of 2001, Sergei Stepanov left the group. The ensemble began performing in a trio format, sometimes inviting session musicians to concerts. The album recorded by this line-up was never released. The official comment on the current situation was extremely brief: “We cannot reach an agreement with the publishers.” However, new songs could be heard at concerts and on the radio.

On January 26, 2003, the second “Thin Ear” festival took place at the “B2” club, but without radio support. On October 24, 2003, the first acoustic concert in the history of the group was given in the Central House of Artists, where Pavel Molchanov played the piano, Alexander Minaev on the guitar, and Andrei Rodin on percussion. The experiment was successful. Thus, the number of electric performances is being reduced in favor of acoustic and unplugged concerts.

In 2004, the Alexey Rybnikov Theater together with Yuri Entin began work on musical production"Pinocchio" based on the film of the same name. According to the plan, live music was to be performed during the performance. musical accompaniment, thereby equating the performance with a rock opera. “Time Out” was chosen for this purpose. Alexey Efimov performed as keyboard player. In addition, the vocal section was strengthened by the Moscow Blues quartet, with whom the group subsequently continued to collaborate outside the performance. The premiere of the rock fairy tale took place on June 7, 2007 at the Mir concert hall on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. By the fall of 2008, over 80 performances took place with the constant participation of the group, after which the project ended.

Present tense[edit | edit wiki text]
At the end of 2009, Pavel Molchanov, known in Motological circles as Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy, left the team in order, together with his wife, to become closely involved in teaching within the framework of their own creative workshop “Fortissimo”. Wanting to save the group, Minaev and Rodin invited back Sergei Stepanov and Roman Mukhachev.

Reshuffles in the composition were formalized on October 24 of the same year at the celebration of the “motorcycle New Year”. The concert was divided into three parts: in the first, the group performed in the usual format (trio), in the second, with an expanded lineup (quintet), and in the third, with a new lineup.

On the eve of the New Year 2010, it became known that the ensemble would re-record all unreleased material and several old songs from previous records.

On November 27, 2010, as part of the “Motological New Year” celebration, a presentation of a new album called “Cabbage” took place. A few hours before the concert, an autograph session was held with the musicians at the Tochka club, where everyone could purchase a new record and paraphernalia. In addition, unsold audio cassettes of the group's recordings were distributed free of charge during the event.

At the moment, the group is actively involved in the touring schedule. According to established tradition, the new program exists in electric and acoustic formats.

How it all began

The ensemble of motological music appeared at the very beginning of 1987. And it was invented by none other than Zopukh. His name was actually not Zopukh, but Zorin V.E. The word “Zopuh” was formed like this: ANZ, being in a state of absolute joy, read the name of the artistic director in Latin on the poster.

So here it is. There was such a group - Time Out, but not in the current composition, but in Gorky. And during the next tour of Transcaucasia, Zorin, for no apparent reason, quarreled with the team. The musicians fled under the noise, and Zorin Vladislav Efimych, fleeing, unknown how, found the group “Shock” in the Moscow rock laboratory, in which Sasha Minaev and Pasha Molchanov played, and offered a job in the city of Makhachkala in the Dagestan State Philharmonic. It was proposed to change the name of the group to Time Out.

As soon as Zorin realized that the group had died completely and irrevocably, that they did not know how to play someone else’s music, he waved his hand and the newly-minted Time Out began playing his own songs. And in the late eighties at the film studio named after. Gorky recorded the record “We Love You”.

Minaev and Molchanov began their careers as musicians back in at a young age: Alexander played in a school ensemble, after which he played in the above-mentioned group “Shock”, and Pavel studied at the School for Gifted Children. Dmitry Kabalevsky in cello class, and later tried to continue his musical education at the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied conducting. The attempt failed, as the conservatory was abandoned after the third year due to “the roof falling off due to rock and roll.” Before Time Out, he played in the group "Martin".

They met like this: at that time A. Minaev dreamed of a good guitar, looked for it for a long time and finally got the phone number of one person who supposedly had it. Having contacted the owner of the guitar, which, by the way, was not at all cool, but very homemade, Alexander Semenovich did not think long and offered its owner, Pavel Valerievich (a member of the Martin group), cooperation. So the Shock group got a new vocalist.

The first concert in St. Petersburg took place in 1992 at the Kirov Palace of Culture (now the Indie Club). To the great surprise of the concert organizers, with a capacity of 1000 people, Time Out attracted 1200 listeners.

The Science of Getting High

How did the science of Motology originate? Here's how it happened: Alexander Semenovich Minaev (Akaky Nazarych Zirnbirnshtein - ANZ), while in the Republic of Dagestan, went to the toilet in a hotel and found something similar to a toilet there, but it was actually not at all the same.

Exactly half of what is called a toilet in our country was sticking out of the wall in the restroom. It was then that ANZ realized that he was a motorologist. Later, in one of the interviews, he said the following words about himself: “And I’m not only Sasha, but also Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnstein, I come up with all the jokes for our ensemble. Apparently, it’s lucky if some young journalists directly ask me: “Are you a fool?” I answer honestly: “Yes, you’re a fool.” I’m such an idiot that I managed to promote my business, which is what I wish for everyone.”

For Pavel Valerievich Molchanov (Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy - CCI), motology began differently. Having found a sign in the trash that said “dentist,” he brought it home and was about to nail it to the door, but it turned out to be too long. The resourceful Chamber of Commerce and Industry, without hesitation, tapped the sign and the inscription “matologist” shone on the door. The name Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy itself was formed from Torvlobnaya Petrovich Pustoy, whose origin is unknown.

Later, however, “matologists” became “motologists,” since media workers associated the first option with swearing, so the ensemble’s texts were feared like fire. After this, Time Out became an off-air group, which, for some reason, remains to this day. Although, the motologists themselves treat this with a degree of humor: on the cover of the Yokhan Palych Forever disc there is the following inscription - “100% Radio Suitable”. Does not contain obscene expressions or profanity. Unfortunately.”

Since then, the composition of the group has changed somewhat: young guitarist S. Stepanov replaced V. Pavlov, Yu. Shipilov was replaced by A. Rodin, and keyboard player R. Mukhachev also joined Time Out.

The promotion of the science of Motology occurs not only at Time Out concerts, but also at other events. For example, ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry are constant hosts of the Bike Show, regularly performed at the rock festival “They Ruined Their Childhood”, winning in several categories at once, at the MK and Beer festivals in Luzhniki and at many other events.

About motorological kurultai

Molchanov-Puzdoy spoke about one of the concerts: “That’s why we became motorologists, because we go out and play a concert, even when no one is listening to us. It doesn’t bother us at all, we play it for ourselves, we play it well. And then, every concert - this is some kind of event, we didn’t have one similar to the other. In St. Petersburg, for example, when we arrived with a motorcycle trick after SNC, we worked at the Indy Club. They showed us a device, everything we needed, and said, they say, guys, you won't gather a damn crowd. However, the hall was full, it was a completely bright, dazzling show. We put a cabinet on the stage next to the drums and started the "Zopushka" competition. A small felt boot of kvachina should have suited someone, and so this "butcher" had the opportunity to sit in the closet for one song. But there were a lot of such "assholes" in the hall, and at the end of the concert the closet was simply smashed to smithereens - it was so much fun. However, later we had to pay the Indie Club for the damage. And The concert also began in a very boring way: the curtain opens, and Styopa (Sergei Stepanov) stands on skis and with poles, the bindings on the skis are so stupid, not iron, but soft - for children."

One of the most famous concerts of Time Out in their current composition took place on April 21, 1995 for 12 minutes... at the North Pole with a wind speed of 5 m/s, a temperature of -38°C and subsequent 40%. In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole.

When the motological ensemble arrived at the pole, there were already quite a lot of people there - various travelers and researchers. During Time Out's performance, someone played football, someone listened to motorological creativity. When the ensemble performed Yohan Palych, the Canadian scientist and traveler Wil Steiger appeared on a dog sled and, seeing a crowd of Russians, inflamed by the national drink (probably only ANZ and GGSK were sober, since they were fasting), spat and said the legendary phrase: “Not a pole , and some kind of passage yard!..”

But it still wasn’t without adventures. Firstly, ANZ and GGSC, who took with them only oranges and boiled rice from food, found them in a frozen state (the oranges turned into “billiard balls”, and the rice into “granite crumbs”). Secondly, they arrived at the pole wearing boots, after which they had to exchange them for polar explorers’ felt boots. Thirdly, TPP and AK, having had too much, mixed up the transport and flew not back to Taimyr, but to Franz Josef Land. So the concert at the pole was not a banal gathering and took place in a rather cheerful atmosphere.

In addition, the Time Out Ensemble every year old tradition, definitely plays a charity concert at the hospital for disabled children in the Olympic Village. The Kwachas have arrived

ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry gained wider fame while working on the radio program “Hello. Kvachi have arrived.” When motology could no longer be contained within the framework of concerts, the idea arose to present its doctrine to the public more widely. Then another proposal appeared. In 1990, a certain Yuri Spiridonov, who had previously worked with Time Out as a compere on tour, invited Minaev and Molchanov to the SNC radio that had opened at that time. At first there was no show, they were asked to just come chat on air and play their music. Stas Namin, director of SNC, liked it and invited them to work on air regularly. In 1992, the pretentious program, as the most popular on the radio station, was nominated for various awards (Golden Ostaps, all sorts of them), but the judges always shortchanged it and did not give it first place.

In 1992, the radio station was covered with a copper toilet and along with it the above-mentioned program. Only in December 1996 did she start caressing the heron’s ears again. But instead of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the newly-minted motorologist Sergei Anatolyevich Stepanov (Gagey Gageevich Sikorsky Koncheny, aka GGSK) was talking with Akakiy. Since then, all this happened on Radio Silver Rain until October 25, 2000, when the program stopped airing.

She returned, however, the same week, but on Our Radio. And instead of the GGSC, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry again broadcasts and motorology is not particularly present there. It’s just that ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry are broadcasting for an hour. In 1999, some changes took place in the program, while still on Dozhd - a new section, “Thin Ear,” appeared, something like the old “Hello, we are looking for talents.” In this part of the program, motologists broadcast poems and songs different groups or simply creative personalities, sent to them in advance on various types of media. On April 8, 2000, a festival with the same name took place at the Svalka club, in which many of those whose works were heard on air took part.

Beer and knak...

Now about the Time Out drink. Oddly enough, it was not really beer, but real ale (more precisely, Khmel Time Out). The presentation of the drink took place at MNG"97. The advertising text read: "Time Out ale is made according to the technology and recipes of old English breweries without the use of preservatives under license and from concentrates provided by Concord. This unique double-fermentation beer matures, like champagne, directly in the bottle. It can “live” for up to three years, and over time it only becomes tastier, hoppier, healthier for the body and more beautiful in color. The presence of brewer's yeast sediment in the bottle is a must! It is thanks to “live” yeast that Time Out ale is a unique drink for people experiencing significant physical activity. The B complex of vitamins contained in brewer's yeast perfectly restores the body. Just one mug is enough and you will feel pleasant flexibility in your body and complacency!

This drink is no longer available. There was a company that knew the secret and original recipe preparing ale, which was bottled in 1.5 liter bottles and labeled with the Time Out logo. Then motologists stopped ordering ale and it was lost forever. You can see it in one of the interviews with ANZ and GGSC from 1998 entitled “Living Collection”, which is interspersed with excerpts from the concert. By the way, during the performance of songs at that concert, motologists often sipped their ale.

And in general, the Time Out ensemble itself is very respectful of beer: ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry are members of the Beer Lovers Party (ANZ was even a candidate from the Republic of Tuva for the post of State Duma deputy from the PLP), and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry won the competition for drinking beer quickly (1 liter in about 5 seconds), for which I received another box as a reward. But the fame of the “beer ensemble” came to Time Out when the “Song about Beer” appeared, later called “Hymn to Beer” and released on the album “Chasing a Long Ruble”.

Torvlobnor Petrovich once took part in a talk show, winning a competition for drinking beer at speed - a liter in 5 seconds. For which he received a reward - another pack of beer.

As Akaki Nazarych said, his life has been connected with beer since childhood. The fact is that there was a famous brewery in the courtyard of his house, and now he lives in a house with a pub on the ground floor. So the happy motologist has always been and will be provided with beer to the fullest.

The case is being heard...

On August 5, 1999, the program “The Case is Hearing” took place. LDPR leader V.V. Zhirinovsky sued Russian rock, represented by A.S. Minaev - Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnstein. Zhirinovsky stated that rock promotes the spread of drugs by mentioning the latter in songs. It was unclear what Time Out had to do with it, since motorcycle experts repeatedly called on those who started to quit and those who didn’t try not to start? ANZ has two daughters and he himself is not interested in the distribution and promotion of drugs. To illustrate the harmlessness of the songs, they even played a video of Yokhan Palych from the concert, but in the words “...the grass is turning green...” V.V. Zhirinovsky caught it secret meaning, which could be unsafe for fans. Zhirinovsky, together with his lawyer and witnesses, attacked A.N.Z., but all their facts were unconvincing and Akaki easily fended off all the accusations. When they invited witnesses from the defendant’s side, Zhirinovsky’s entire attack fizzled out.

When the parties began to debate the parties, Zhirinovsky realized that the case was lost and proposed a settlement, saying in an apologetic voice that rock is good and even offered to draw up public organization Rock + Politicians against drugs. Akaki, being a noble man, supported the initiative and even shook hands with Zhirinovsky as a sign of reconciliation.

Motology in cinema...

Motologists don’t forget about film production. Along with the clips for the compositions “Fragments of Evil”, “I Love to Ride”, “Yokhan Palych”, “Autumn” and “Pinocchio”, there is also such a thing as the four-part film “The Kvachi Have Arrived”, which was even shown at the Anniversary of the Motorcycle Movement at MDM in 1998. In addition, Time Out was also writing music for some films, the latest of which is “DMB”.

Since Program A on television, Time Out appears rarely, but quite regularly. In addition to the Buratino video and the Live Collection, which can be seen relatively often, the motological ensemble also reveres Caprice on MTv with its presence. In addition, there is Time Out in the Muz TV studio, in Anthropology, Sharks of the Feather and other programs. And at the end of 1999 - beginning of 2000, a television version of the program “Kvachi have arrived” was broadcast on MTv, hosted by ANZ and GGSK, but after some time it faded away.

But! There is another film that, at first glance, does not have much to do with motology, but does a great job of helping to understand the motological doctrine. We are talking about the film by G. Danelia “Kin Dza Dza”. Such famous aphorisms as, for example, “everyone lie down for half an hour,” “I loved you, I will teach you,” or that very famous “ku” came from there. And the music in the intro of “The Subtle Ear” is also taken from this film, and Danelia also had a hand in the “yellow pants”. Actually, all of it, both in terms of plot and other indicators, is of great motorological value.

Motological New Year...

The Motological New Year began in Akaki’s apartment one June day over a glass of beer. A lemon tree covered in fish scales was placed on the table. Given such a combination of circumstances, motologists could not help but note such important holiday. By the way, it is also noted in wide circle fans of motorcycling in front of a large crowd of people, but not in the summer, but in the late autumn. When celebrating MNG, motologists recommend decorating the lemon tree with dried wild cucumbers, drinking beer, scattering fish scales (preferably bream) around the apartment and dancing fiery motological dances, of course.

Bream scales, according to ANZ, are remarkable in that after you scatter them on the carpet, they are not completely cleaned out. So throughout the year you will certainly find flakes in the carpet that will immediately evoke pleasant memories of the holiday.

The lemon tree became an attribute of the MNG due to the fact that in the summer it was difficult (and too lazy) to find a Christmas tree, so for the summer New Year's table This is exactly what was exhibited. Then, in the early nineties, this tree was still green and healthy in all respects, but Akaki Nazarych himself destroyed it (he simply did not water it), which led to the tree drying up. Now it is decorated with dried wild cucumbers that look like hedgehogs, and other crap.

For the Kvachas themselves, the New Year is just another holiday, or, more precisely, a reason to spend time. And the best pastime, according to the motological doctrine, is “drinking and snacking.” Where else can you do this other than at a concert? Motologists even advocated for MNG to be made a national holiday and declared a day off, for which they signed and submitted a petition to the State Duma.

Kvachi and BigMac...

In 1999, a new fan club of Time Out was formed, nicknamed Big MAK (International Association of Quaches). Before that, there was another fan club called MAK. With the new fan club, Time Out received more powerful and well-organized support from fans due to the fact that the fan club provides its members with discounts and other benefits in exchange for ever-increasing love and devotion.

The Rybba bird Kvach is a creature wearing felt boots, with an udder and scales on its body. Kvacha give birth head first (if you give birth with your tail forward, you get the so-called “effect of a cone stuck in your mouth” - it goes in and doesn’t go back out). Motologists themselves define a kvach as follows: a kvach is a creature of the future with an udder and wearing felt boots. It is self-sufficient, for which it has an udder, through which kvacha milk is produced and consumed by the kvacha. Akaki Nazarych himself said that “kvachi are those who believe: one must live happily, and what is not a pleasure must be made into a pleasure.”

Kvach, like most living beings, comes in two genders: kvach (male) and mamzel or kvachikha (female). There are also cases when fairly old people joined the Kvacha movement. Then men became kvachas, and women became honorary ladies of motorology. It is impossible to become a motorologist. Only the GGSC managed to increase the number of motorologists - it became third after ANZ and CCI. Therefore, such titles as, say, “motorwoman” are absent as such.

In order to become a kvach, you need to listen to several radio programs or go to a Time Out concert, or even better, do both. In general, kvachas can be called those people who support the motological doctrine and are fans of the motological ensemble.

Separate creativity...

Here A. Minaev did not further ado and published the book “Zopuh, the Bobson cockroach and more.” It included many, many creations of the motologist, both very old from the SNC times, and new ones that appeared shortly before the book was published. Among them are: famous works, like “Poem about a Nail”, of course, “Bobson the Cockroach”, as well as song lyrics, scientific treatises on motorology, stories about Zopokha and much more. In addition, the book is decorated with drawings by A. Minaev and his youngest daughter Julia.

But Torvlobnor Petrovich was the first to succeed in this matter. Regardless of the ensemble, already under the name P. Molchanov, he released two solo albums, recorded and mixed in his own home studio. Both albums consist mainly of slow acoustic compositions. Title of the first solo album " Magical forest", the second - "Everything is out there".

Experienced Kvachi still remember Molchanov’s other hobby - drawing. A clear confirmation of this is the cover of the album “Yokhan Palych”, on which there are three drawings by Molchanov. One of them is "Rooster on the Roost". Naturally, the creativity of the motologist artist is not limited to album design - in 1997 he held a fairly successful exhibition of his own paintings. Molchanov, of course, was also interested in prose and poetry, but not to the same extent as Minaev, so his poems and stories are known to a narrower circle of motorology fans. Thus, everyone was once again convinced to what extent motologists and the motological community are involved in traditional culture. So if, after all, the musicians from Time Out suddenly end their careers, we will be able to see at least two talented artists and writers.
