In 1999, the rock group of the Russian stage "Animation" originated. Since then, she has gained many fans. At the very beginning, the Animation group consisted of only two musicians. Kulyasov Konstantin was responsible for vocals and guitar. Karpov Artem played the harmonica and composed the rhythm (drums).

History of the emergence of the team

The duet was formed in Tatarstan, namely in the city of Chistopol. The guys actively began to work on creative projects. Konstantin took on the role of a poet. The music was created differently: both rhythmic and soulful lyrics. After some time, other participants were selected. There were already more of them (six people). Then, during some events, one of them was taken into the army, the other three were forced to leave the group for some other reason. At that time, Konstantin Kulyasov remained the unchanging leader. After a while, new people joined the group. So, in 2002 their first concert was played. It had a symbolic name - "Rock diversion". And until 2008, the composition of "Animation" was constantly changing. In 2008, the modern composition was assembled.

Group members

As already mentioned, there were so many members of the group that in their total number they surpassed the choir or orchestra. The constant leak of musicians is not explained by anything. The only thing that can be called a real reason is a frivolous approach to this music. Many guys did not really believe in the success of "Animation". Indeed, many successful rock bands have long established themselves on the Russian stage, for example, Spleen, Bi-2, Semantic Hallucinations, Agatha Christie and others, which were difficult to outshine. Therefore, many treated the Animation project more as a hobby. The current line-up includes such members.

1. Kulyasov Konstantin: acoustic guitar, vocals and backing vocals. He is also a songwriter (lyrics and music).

2. Suleimanov Emil: drums. The guy also plays the role of an arranger and is responsible for the samples.

3. Saleev Alexey: electric guitar. Like the first and second, he takes part in creating arrangements, writing lyrics and music.

4. Dolonin Dmitry: plays the bass guitar, writes music and creates arrangements.

In addition to the indicated participants, the Animation group has an administrator (represented by Nikolai Khramov), a sound engineer (Georgy Malanchev). There were about 18 former members.

Repertoire

Kulyasov Konstantin is both the lead singer of the Animatsiya group, and its ideological inspirer, and its symbol, and poet, and composer. Throughout the existence of the project, Kostya has repeatedlysaid that their music reflects all the problems of a person, the anxiety of his soul, life's troubles. In general, it has everything that is close to each of the listeners.

The band's rock music was also rhythmic. The members wanted to create and play compositions that would make you feel an incredible drive. Over the years, many songs have been created. Nevertheless, only four clips were shot on them. One of the most popular songs was "Vanka", "Matches", "Cranes", "Motherland". You can also note "Metro", "Peterskaya", "For a minute", "Drunken" and other compositions. The group's arsenal includes 7 albums that have been successfully released on the Russian music market.

Recognition

The Animation group became popular when the modern composition of the team took root. The breakthrough began in 2008. It was during this period that the first album of the Animation group was released under the name Wanderer. The team actively traveled and took part in regional rock festivals and concerts. In 2013, the work of the Animation collective became known in many cities of Russia. The group, whose songs were appreciated, received a significant award in the Hacking nomination at the Chart Dozen festival. The team began to appear on Russian radio and television (with the song "Rodina" the guys performed on the popular TV show Urgant on Channel One). As a musical group to warm up, they sang on stage before the performance of the Pilot band. Currently, the Animation group has become a long-awaited guest at variousevents, festivals, tours, concerts. They are distinguished by the original performance of songs and interesting arrangements. The rock band has already gathered a lot of fans.

Most successful projects

The group has a lot of projects that have become the most successful. So, one of them can be called the song "Vanka". The video for it is made unusual, it is animated. It displays important social issues. They are set very sharply. That's exactly how it was thought out: to combine an important social message and at first glance a children's cartoon.

Another no less important project in the work of the group was the album "Made in China" in 2010. This work was the first full release. It's not like other albums. The release was created after the return of the group from the tour (“Animation” acted as a warm-up for the Pilot team). The guys, according to them, radically rethought their work.
