Pavel Lyon

Psoy Korolenko is a Russian bard competing with Sergei Shnurov for the use of taboo vocabulary in texts. It is difficult to imagine a singer and composer without a beard. The musician reminds some spectators of Karl Marx, and to others - Karabas Barabas.

Pavel Eduardovich Lyon - this is the real name of the performer - was born in Moscow in April 1967. The performer's pseudonym is an allusion to the phrase of the writer Vladimir Korolenko, on whose work the bard defended his dissertation in his youth.

The musician doesn't tell anything about childhood and parents. Judging by the fact that Pasha attended not only secondary school number 9, but also the Nikolai Myaskovsky Music School, the family in which the boy grew up was intelligent.

In the biography of Lyon-Korolenko, teaching work took place several times. While studying in the graduate school of the philological faculty of Moscow State University, Pavel Eduardovich taught literature. He lectured at the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting and at the Lyceum at the Institute of Public Administration. In the first half of 2003, he taught a special course Singing the World at a private Trinity College located in the US state of Connecticut. According to the lecturer, most of the students were delighted that their teacher was a punk. Since 2009 Pavel has been a visiting specialist at the University of Michigan.

Psoy does not hide nationality and religion. The musician is an Orthodox Jew. He was baptized at the age of 21 and became interested in Jewish culture at the same time. Now the songs of Psoy Korolenko are played in synagogues and at Orthodox festivals. In the discography of the artist, there are often references to religious themes - the debut album was called "Song of God", and the third - "Song of Songs". The composition “Keep Your Mind in Hell” is based on the answer of God to Saint Silouan the Athonite.

The musician prefers to keep his personal life behind a curtain, making the text of the song "Finish" as the motto:

It is not known whether Pavel has a wife, although after the composition "You are a monster, good me", performed by Psoy with Natalia Belenkaya, listeners attributed marital relations to the vocalists. Korolenko has a page on Instagram, but it is not the singer himself who maintains it, but his representative, and personal photos are not posted on the resource.

The melodic basis of Psoy's creativity is a mix of avant-garde, indie and klezmer (music of the Jews of Eastern Europe). Korolenko regularly collaborates with the Dobra Night group from St. Petersburg. The composition of the singer "Shlyager of the Century" is performed on the motive of the song "Ba mir bis doo shane" by the Jewish composer Sholomo Secunda and tells about its re-songs in the XX century, including Ustov's "Baron von der Pshik" and the version "In the Cape Town Port".

For many years, the author's trademark technique was to mix different cultural layers in texts and to use obscene Russian vocabulary. So, in "Postmodern ditties" the names of philosophers rhyme with obscene words, and in the song "Marquis" French phrases, realities of the XXI century and chords of "Marseillaise" are wedged into the melody familiar from the work of Leonid Utesov.

Psoy's poems are a play with rhymes and associations. In the lyrics of the song "The Island Where Everything Is" there is a paradoxical jumble of images and consonances, and Foucault's pendulum rhymes with Umberto Eco.

Often, the lyrical hero Korolenko, like Vladimir Vysotsky, states: "No, guys, it's not like that." The refrain of the song "Iowa", in which the character is not well, and the abusive chorus of the single "Nevsky Prospect" are similar. In the composition "There is no future" the author starts from the fact that the Russian language lacks the verb "to win" in the singular future tense.

In recent years, the songwriter has abandoned the use of obscene vocabulary in songs. According to the singer, "the mate needs to rest." Now the musician at concerts almost does not perform "Acoustic techno" ("Buratino was stupid") and does not use the legendary "harmonica" - the timbre of the accordion in the synthesizer. In a 2019 interview, Korolenko explained that the new Casio models do not have the desired sound.

In 2019, the collection The Lost Songs Of World War II, recorded by Psoy together with Anna Sternshis, was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Ethnic Album category. Also in 2019, Pavel Olegovich participated in the reading of the text of "Total Dictation".

In November 2019, Korolenko presented a new program "Hat with Ears" in six cities of Siberia, and in December he gave a concert "Barbara Daddy Cool" at the "Vermel" club. In January 2020, the film-concert "Defesa - Catchers of Music" was released, in which the songs of the Brazilian composer Tom Ze are performed by Psoy, singer Alisa Ten and a dozen other musicians.
