The biography of the singer Pascal

Cut the composer Pavel Titov. Do you know this? Not every listener will immediately realize who we are talking about. And if so: “Only a silk heart, a silk heart can never love”? The lines of the hit that sounded at the turn of the century were printed in memory. They wrote their eminent songwriter Konstantin Arsenev, and Pavel Titov put it to the music and sang, under the stage pseudonym Pascal.

The author-performer himself composes music and poems, but the most famous in his repertoire will be the works created in tandem with Arsenev. Thanks to the “silk heart”, the country recognized the singer Pascal, and it was with it that he is most often associated. The performer himself, approaching the summer line of life, admits that he could not surpass the popularity of the “silk heart”, although the artist and the author have a fairly extensive repertoire.

At the beginning of the zero, his songs were quite famous, and at least another hit in terms of recognition is not inferior to the “silk heart”. About this - in today's material, where we recall the milestones of the creative path and some noticeable compositions of Pascal from the first years of the new century. Paliki - a small village in the Kaluga region, where the boy Pasha Titov was born on August 17.

At school, a creative guy experienced difficulties in studying the exact, technical sciences, which was the reason for gaining the future pseudonym. Classmates, as it were, jokingly, with irony gave him a nickname according to the term studied in physics lessons, indicating a unit of pressure measurement and getting its name named the French scientist. Pasha began to call Pascal.

According to the memoirs of the singer, he did not wear this nickname for long, and on the way of building a musical career it came in handy. In the post-Soviet realities of the nascent show business, some producers, working with the artist, unwound not a person under the name and surname, but a musical project, inventing a loud or not very name for him-it is also the artist’s pseudonym.

In such a situation, Pavel Titov was at a certain stage. The producer wanted to promote the brand, not the name and surname. I proposed my school nickname, ”Pascal said in a recent interview for the magazine“ Secrets of Stars ”of November 19. Pavel took the first steps in an adult creative career before the show of business and producers of the “European type”. By the beginning of X, he already had a finished specialized education at the Gnesin Academy in the vocal class.

Music was present in the life of the author of the Hit "Silk Heart" from early childhood. For the first time he went on stage at five. In school years, he played in an amateur teenage group, the leader of which was the young man of his sister. Pasha-Pascal was taken to the position of the drummer. Mom did not encourage her son’s hobbies, and, despite the difficulties with accurate sciences, after school he went to study in a communal-building term in Kaluga for an architect.

However, the music did not leave him. After graduating from the educational institution, Pavel goes to the army, where he tries to write songs, gradually the author’s repertoire accumulates. Having repaid the duty to his homeland, the novice musician, composer Pavel Titov chooses a professional path, and goes to the city to the Neva at the Mussorgsky school, but soon changes the educational institution of the Northern capital to Moscow - is transferred to Gnesinka.

As the author-performer Pavel Titov tried to declare himself at the Soviet stage x. He was part of the group "we". For the group’s repertoire, he wrote the song “Summer Garden”.

The team considered this composition not entirely suitable for the repertoire. Having left the group, the author of words and music took the “Summer Garden” with him. With her, Pavel Titov appeared on Soviet television in the year as a solo artist. However, the song to the student of the music school did not bring great fame. Ahead was a decade of creative searches, from the Gnesinsky school the musician is produced in, in the year of great changes in public and cultural life.

Having managed to find the Soviet stage and get a traditional vocal education in the past era, the singer will be “out of work”. I myself was shocked by what sounded in x. Maybe that's why I did not write anything. It was very difficult to get into this stream, ”Pascal admitted in an interview with the“ Turn on the mood ”program of the TVC channel. The release will follow almost a decade of creative searches, and only by the end of the century he will again come to the listeners as Pascal with a “silk heart”.

Pascal in the beginning of X during the period of popularity of Pascal in the beginning of X during the period of popularity of the history of the Silk Heart. Although Pascal said that the first time “did not write anything”, he first managed to find his place in the new reality in the author’s role. The acquaintance with Konstantin Arsenev, a poet, whose name in X - zero with enviable regularity was found in the column “author of the text” in the repertoire of leading groups and groups, for example, among “Lube” with music by Igor Matvienko.

Konstantin Borisovich fruitfully collaborated with Igor Zubkov, a second -generation composer, whose father was quite famous in the Soviet era.To the verses of Arsenev Zubkov, Jr. will write a whole string of hits, their songs were performed by Mikhail Shufutinsky, Tatyana Ovsienko and others. A successful author's tandem will form with Arsenev and with Pavel Titov.

They met when both were in search, and Konstantin invited the composer to compose songs for sale. In the commercial realities of show business, the case became profitable. So Pavel Titov a couple with Arsenev replenished the repertoire of the stars of the new era. Arsenev, Konstantin Borisovich is a Russian poet, the author of the text of the Silk Heart and other Pascal's songs considered below.

Once a certain singer, whose name Pascal does not call diplomatically, ordered them a song, and then she did not buy a finished work, refusing to take in the repertoire. This song was the Silk Heart. The main claim, according to Pascal, the potential performer was to the text, to repeated repetitions of the phrase made in the name. Like, eight times the "silk heart", what is it?

Well, I don't like it, and God is with him. " The author of the words of great illusions about his creation did not have, Konstantin Borisovich admitted that he “did not appreciate” this song. The history of music knows many examples of popular songs, the success of which was not particularly believed, but they became hits. So it happened with the “silk heart” after the composer decided to fulfill it himself.

The song sounded on behalf of Pascal in the year of all sound -reproducing devices, and in the masses became more recognizable than the pseudonym of the artist. Paul said that he realized the ubiquitous popularity of his hit by visiting the city where his musical path began-St. Petersburg: “I heard it at the station, then on the train, then at the station again. In short, I arrived red as cancer, I realized that this is something unreal.

She bombed from all the cracks! What other songs were remembered from the debut album of Pascal? The Hit "Silk Heart" entitled the singer's debut album, who saw the light in the year of Millennium. The authors accumulated decently the same songs. Pascal took them into the repertoire and released them on the record. None of them, in popularity, approached the main hit, however, some songs of the album fell into rotation and were quite recognizable in the moment.

For example, the composition “Girl-School” sounded in the qualifying stage of the festival “Song of the Year-”, although it did not get into the final part. Among the most recognizable works are called "God, for how long." The composition in the style of rock ballads was published on the album in two versions, it was to remove the video clip on it. In the year, the singer released a record called his stage name - Pascal, in fact, it was a reprint of the debut album.

The track leaf was distinguished by several new compositions, among them I remembered the Red Ribbon, also to Arsenov’s poems. Having such a hit in the arsenal as a “silk heart”, it does not cost anything to remain in the memory of the listeners with the “performer of one song”, and Pascal is partly perceived by such. In the already mentioned interview, the singer was asked why he could not write at least one same hit.

Many music lovers will consider such a formulation of the question controversial. At least Pascal has at least another hit. This hit appeared in a creative search, in an effort to create a song that can compete with a “silk heart”, but in its history there is an element of chance. Poems by Konstantin Arsenev were born suddenly, in one of the bars in the center of Moscow, in anticipation of an unpleasant meeting, “disassembly”, as the poet himself put it.

Maybe that's why they turned out to be so wiped: "The second day is only coffee with cognac, and the heart jumps, as if barefoot." That is, there was fermentation, not some comfort. ” At a personal meeting, he showed his creation to the co -author. Titov picked up a melody and several options for arrangements, but not one arranged it, the melody did not fall on the words.

They decided to postpone the song "until better times." Such came about a year later, when preparing the second solo plate of Pascal. In the course of work, with the support of colleagues in the studio, he persuaded Arsenev to correct the text, rewrite the purchases, adjusting them to the melody. The new option was ready in just a few minutes. However, when the new hit Pascal sounded on the radio, many did not recognize the performer of the “silk heart” in it.

Arsenev in an interview handed over the words of Leonid Nikolaevich that his colleagues called him and congratulated him on a new hit. There is really something “Agutinskoye” in the plate of the composition, but the owner of the “silk heart” Pascal wrote and sang and sang. From the album “Percent of Love”, in addition to the main hit, it is worth noting the slow lyrical composition “Invisible”.

In the row, the song “I Lost you” is mentioned moderately popular. How the further career of Pascal developed. In the second half of the "zero", Pascal produces two albums one by one. The singer turned to the creativity and memory of Igor Talkov, a survey of several songs from his repertoire. Cavers of the Talkov hits were published on the album "Golden Dreams" along with the author’s songs of the composer Pavel Titov.The song “Silk Pain” opens the album, which attracted attention with the intersection with the name of the Pascal's hit-visit card.
