ROCK-KULTUR IN DER UKRAINE

Teil 1 - Kiev im Winter
Es ist kalt, es schneit, die Sicht auf den Flughafen Kiev-Borispol ist schlecht, als das Flugzeug zum landen ansetzt. 15 Uhr Ortszeit Kiev, ich bin gelandet. Der Zufall wollte es, dass es mich zum wiederholten Male in die Ukraine verschlug. Nicht nur, dass ich dieses Land, seine Menschen, seine Kultur liebe, nein, mich fasziniert dort das Musikbusiness immer wieder. Und seit Ruslana den "Eurovision Song Contest" 2005 nach Kiev holte, können wir EU-Bürger als Touristen visafrei in die Ukraine reisen. Ich kann nur sagen, es lohnt sich! So traf ich also am Tag nach der Ankunft auf ihn, Oleg "Bilyj" Shevtschenko, Inhaber und Betreiber des "White Studio", Produzent, Tonmann und Leader der Band "W.h.i.t.e".

Im Westen von Kiev, einer der besseren Gegenden, stehe ich also nun vor dem Haus von Oleg, als erstes werde ich vom großen Hund der Familie empfangen. Olegs Frau, Sveta, meinte gleich zum Hund: "Er ist Musiker, er gehört hierher". Der Hund und ich waren damit zufrieden. Nun noch die Treppe hoch, und ich betrete die "heiligen Hallen". Mich empfängt eine warme, familiäre Atmosphäre. Mir wird sofort das Studio gezeigt. Fotos an der Wand sprechen vom langjährigen Schaffen Olegs. Viele mir bekannte Gesichter sind auch darunter. Kurz setze ich mich an die Drums, welche in der Kabine gerade aufgebaut sind. Danach gehts in die Regie. Ich bin überwältigt. In fast 20 Jahren meines bescheidenen Musikerlebens habe ich auch schon Zeit in dem ein oder anderen Studio verbracht, aber das, was ich hier zu sehen bekomme, übertrifft meine Erwartungen. Die
Atmosphäre gleicht der eines modernen Wohnzimmers, es ist bequem, es ist wunderschön, man kann die Kreativität fast greifen...
Wir sitzen nun in der Küche, bei Tee und Kognak, eine Katze liegt im Fenster und schläft, ich frage Oleg, wie alles begann... und er erzählt bereitwillig. - DRMV e.V. (Musiker-Magazin)

The structure of the band included Oleg's old friends with whom he co-operated for many years. Though the group is officially created in 2005, it is impossible to name the project spontaneous, its birth was preceded by a long period of preparation and creative searches. W.H.I.T.E. - a command of musicians and first of all, friends. The leader of the project is Oleg "White" Shevchenko. Without Oleg this project never would take place. He is the author of the musical material, lead-guitarist and vocalist. Besides, he is a professional sound producer. Sergey "Seriy" Boyko - guitarist, chairman of technical company ARTMAX, mad cell phone fan and a extreme-car-driver. Nikolay "Koljaskin" Bilozor - bass-player, the owner of an innate sense of a rhythm and simply person, with good soul. Vlad "Cloud" Hmarsky - the band "heart", owner of everything that at least something reminds percussion instruments. Without his rhythms, music is dead. How all these people have gathered? It was preceded by the whole history... Oleg "White" co-operated in quality as a sound producer with group "Green Grey", festival "Taurian games".

Different kind of music material which gone through "ears and hands" of Oleg has allowed him to learn carefully the market and to analyse a situation. As a result Oleg "White" has made firm decision to return to musical sources and to create the project "W.H.I.T.E.". The rigid binding to unique style at musicians is not present. Flexibility of perception and feeling of music allows them to combine the high-speed technics of playing traditional heavy with postapocaliptical riffs new-metal, a moderate step of soul with swinging rhythms of the hip-hop and iron grooves keys of the techno.
