Maxim Fadeev. Dancing on glass
One terrible morning Maxim Fadeev did not hear anything. The diagnosis is simple and almost incurable - deafness. Instead of music and songs, the composer began to hear an unbearable grinding and ringing - this is how the disease manifested itself. "It was real hell." The pain of realizing that you would no longer be able to do what you had devoted all your life seemed unbearable. The composer decided to die.
Start
Spring. The sky is getting higher every day, and people seem to have already forgotten about winter, completely trusted the azure-blue distance, along which torn clouds fly in heaps. May 6, 1968 on the calendar. A boy was born in the city of Kurgan, and he was named Maxim. In the future, this person will have a great influence on the development of pop culture in Russia.
His father, Alexander Ivanovich Fadeev, is a composer, an honored teacher of the RSFSR. Mom Svetlana Petrovna is a choir teacher, performer of romances. Great-uncle Timofey Belozerov is a Soviet poet, a street in Omsk is named after him. Grandmother is a student of the brilliant Lydia Ruslanova. In the house, music exists as an integral component of the air, as a special member of the family.
With this intangible, but clearly present character - Music - the little sonic Maxim developed a strong friendship at the age of five. It was then that he first went to a music school, and already at the age of 15 he entered the music school at once at two faculties - conductor-choral and piano.
We will try to understand the twists and turns of fate of the famous producer and composer Maxim Fadeev, using the knowledge of System-Vector Psychology of Yuri Burlan.
Maxim Fadeev. The verdict is "unformat"
Go into the light, but be careful
Go into the light and forget about everything
The sound vector is not only about severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Like any other vector, sound is beautiful when balanced. Potentially, it gives its owner an abstract mind and absolute ear for music.
Musical education in childhood influenced the development of the sound vector of Maxim Fadeev in the most favorable way. As a child, realizing what kind of activity brings him great pleasure in life, the future composer chooses the profession of a musician. First, Max was invited to play in a local musical group at the Youth Palace of Culture, then he was a soloist in the group "Convoy" for a long time. In 1991, they jointly recorded the album Dance on Broken Glass.
Listening to the songs from this album today, I would like to compare them with modern electronic, computer music. For example, the track "Time of Wild Animals" has no words at all. Only disturbing African motifs intertwined with cosmic metal sounds, the roar of animals and the voices of people - all these are like memories of the first sound man. His specific role is the night guard of the pack. When everyone was asleep, he sat and listened to the sound of the night savannah, trying to distinguish a distant disturbing rustle, the crunch of a branch under the paw of a predator. So he erased the sleep and lives of his sleeping fellow tribesmen.
However, Max Fadeev is the owner of not only the sound, but also the visual vector. This bundle of vectors gives his work both a sound philosophical depth, and visual emotionality, sensual saturation. That is why abstract, rhythmic melodies are often accompanied by lyrics about love. The song "Come to the Light" from the same album is just that. A person with a sound-visual ligament lives in two dimensions at once - where meaning is important and where feelings are important, therefore this track is somewhere at the intersection of these two worlds.
Such musical experiments are accepted with admiration and delight today, when, by and large, everything is possible. But then, in the distant 91st, the music of Max Fadeev was given a simple verdict - "non-format". This means that many people may like your ideas and already written songs, but there is no need to dream of popularity, of your melodies being played on radio stations. This sentence kills many talented musicians at the very beginning of their careers. But not Max Fadeev. His story is just beginning.

Having lived for some time in Omsk and Yekaterinburg, Maxim Fadeev moved to the capital in 1993, where he got a job as an arranger in a recording studio. There he made arrangements for famous musicians: Larisa Dolina, Valery Leontyev, Vyacheslav Malezhik. A solo singing career did not work out: the works of Max Fadeev were still rejected by music radio stations. “I was not needed because I was making music that was different from everything that sounded on the radio at the time and that received the approval of the then music editors. It was they who broke my desire to perform solo."
Indeed, for a person with an anal vector, the owner of which is Maxim, the approval of his activities is vital. When such a person is repeatedly refused to accept his job, he has a feeling of self-doubt and even some resentment. These feelings took Fadeev away from his solo career, but he did not leave music. Gradually developing in this industry, he began to engage in his first production project - singer Linda. This experience for Maxim Fadeev was very successful: during his work with Linda, he wrote and produced 6 albums for her, one of which received the status of "platinum", two - "gold" and three - "silver". During the period of her work with Fadeev - from 1994 to 1998 - Linda received the title of "Singer of the Year" nine times.
Maxim Fadeev's projects are young talented performers. He always treated the guys more like a family, like a fatherly, rather than just business projects, where only naked profit is at the forefront. The main method that the producer and composer has adhered to throughout his career is the realization of his own and others' talents. As Max Fadeev himself admits, they often worked for the idea and the thrill of work, especially at the very beginning of the creative path. Perhaps that is why young singers were so eager to get under his tutelage and mentoring.
Gradually, the super popular project Gluk'oZa will grow out of the courtyard sound-visual girl Natalya Ionova, and all the participants of the "Star Factory" will be sure that you can always turn to Maxim Fadeev for advice and help. This approach does not fit in with the image of modern pragmatic show business, where either sharks or small plankton swim, and there is no third option. Next to a producer with a developed anal-visual ligament, the world becomes cozier, kinder and softer. For this, many love Maxim Fadeev. Although there are those who cruelly betrayed him over and over again.
Only one thing always remains unchanged: if Max Fadeev got down to business, then success is guaranteed. His projects are known all over the world. Many are still wondering what the secret of the popularity of his hits is. The songs of Maxim Fadeev are firmly eaten into the memory, and you continue to hum the melody for another day, two, three. It would seem that they are about nothing. But hearing on the radio "Mama Lyuba, come on, come on …" or "Try jaga-jaga …", anyone understands that these are songs about close, human, sexual. The multi-vector and talented Max Fadeev was able to hear this root of the psychic and form it into a rhythmic, simple composition. Lyrics and lively melodies hit right into the subconscious. This, perhaps, is the secret of the success of pop music by Maxim Fadeev.
Maxim Fadeev. Deafness
Dancing on glass
Dancing is not for the weak
In one television interview, the composer shared that he often repeated the phrases in irritation: “Yes, I hear everything! You don't need to tell me, I have great hearing! These are really key words that people with a sound vector unconsciously use in speech. Once upon a time, tens of thousands of years ago, the specific role of the sound engineer was formed - to listen and hear. But modern man is not given a particularly sensitive ear in order to follow the sounds of the savannah, thus protecting his flock from nocturnal predators.
As Yuri Burlan's system-vector psychology says, today's sound vector requires a different content: to listen attentively to the psychic, that is, to the soul of another person and to be aware of it. Therefore, it is quite natural that realization in music at some point became insufficient. Suffering from sound deficiencies, Maxim Fadeev more and more avoided focusing on the people around him, more and more closed and waved away: "I don't need … I can hear everything anyway!" Not fully realizing his states, unfilled desires, a person with any vector is able to gradually bring himself to serious conditions, up to illness …
One terrible morning Maxim Fadeev did not hear anything. The diagnosis is simple and almost incurable - deafness. Instead of music and songs, the composer began to hear an unbearable grinding and ringing - this is how the disease manifested itself. "It was real hell." The pain of realizing that you would no longer be able to do what you had devoted all your life seemed unbearable. The composer decided to die.
In an interview, he confessed: “Everyone thought that I no longer exist: why talk to a deaf musician? Then I made a balanced and strong-willed decision, packed my things - a sleeping bag, a bowler hat, a knife - and decided to leave for Altai, in the taiga, in order to be alone with God. Of course, I understood that the taiga would deal with me, there was no way back. Such decisions, similar thoughts about their own death are typical for people with a sound vector. Throughout their life, they are not left with the feeling that the body is burdensome for them, for their consciousness, for their spirit, that it only interferes with getting through somewhere higher, to higher matters.
A physical ailment directly related to the most sensitive area - the ear, was one of the most tragic moments in the composer's life. Max Fadeev himself believes that this test was given to him for excessive self-confidence and arrogance. And there is some truth in this. After all, egocentrism "as it is" exists precisely in the sound vector. It is he who prevents many sound professionals from focusing on others, to realize themselves to the fullest. It literally "locks" a person inside his head, gives a false sense of his own genius, when a person thinks a lot, but cannot give birth to a single working worthwhile thought and idea.
But this is the worst case. And Max managed to overcome everything. A strong character and the help of those closest to him helped the musician cope. He was able, while remaining deaf, to write the song "Breathe with me." She, like many of his other creations, became a hit. The composer agreed to painful treatment in order to return again. And he did it.
Maxim Fadeev. Escape to Bali
Certainly, such an experience did not pass without a trace. And Maxim Fadeev decides to leave for Bali in order to be away from people and closer to nature. He acts like a real sonic hermit: he is hired as assistants to local fishermen and works for a handful of rice. At the same time, as a true master of a home with an anal vector, he acquires a closed territory on the island, builds a house where a garden grows under his strict supervision.
There he also begins to engage in Chinese gymnastics: on the ocean shore, concentrating on his thoughts, he tries to fill every movement with meaning. This is a physical activity with an unconscious desire to know oneself, to reveal in oneself everything that is hidden under the dark veil of consciousness. At some point, this becomes not enough, and Maxim Fadeev builds a six-meter statue of Buddha on Indonesian soil. The mysterious Russian in honor of such a gift began to be called "buddamen". Max Fadeev is so imbued with the local culture that he celebrates holidays with everyone, for example, the day of silence. A Day of Silence is very sonic. After all, it is in silence, when nothing distracts, that brilliant thought forms and melodies are born.
Maxim Fadeev didn't just want to be alone with himself. It was not just a vacation or a search for new experiences. Behind each of his actions is hidden a huge sound desire to understand the human soul. Unfortunately, today neither oriental practices nor religious searches are capable of providing answers to the main innermost questions. Moreover, these actions are directly opposite to what a person with a sound vector actually needs. According to the system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan, born an introvert, the most closed and self-centered, he is obliged to leave his closed shell and come to the knowledge of the mental - his own and other people. Only in this way can one finally find peace and harmony in the soul.
Maxim Fadeev. Children's projects
And yet, the description of the seeking and restless sound does not quite correlate with the image of Maxim Fadeev. After all, do not forget about the anal-visual ligament of vectors, which he possesses. A developed visual vector determines his ability to empathize, be sensitive and emotional person. And the desire to transfer the accumulated experience in the anal vector makes him a wise and fair teacher.
A new stage in the life of Maxim Fadeev was his participation in the TV show “Voice. Children". On the one hand, the project brought him meetings with brilliantly talented children. On the other hand, it became a difficult test for the producer: according to the terms of the competition, he had to refuse children to further participate in the project. Childhood tears and resentment fell like a heavy stone on the heart of a sensitive anal-visual person. Sensitivity to other people's experiences and the desire to somehow smooth over the rough edges that arose in relations with young artists, pushed Maxim Fadeev, as he puts it, "ironically" to promise further cooperation to many of his wards.
With a desire to raise children, to raise a reliable and healthy-minded generation out of them, Maxim Fadeev did not limit himself to cooperation with the Voice. Children". In an interview, he once admitted: “Almost from childhood I have been writing fairy tales. They were never published anywhere, because I was shy about it. He wrote for himself and the children to read at night. Together with colleague Alexander Chistyakov, they decided to make a cartoon out of one fairy tale. It's called "SAVVA". The cartoon was released in 2015. The beloved wife and son of the producer became the prototypes of the main characters.
Maxim Fadeev. Today. Tomorrow
This is the fate of a person when he strives to realize himself for the good of everyone. We can only wish Maxim Fadeev further success and thank him for his contribution to Russian culture.
