Among people close to the world of domestic rock music, there is a strong opinion that, in terms of their composer and vocal abilities Alexander Kutikov deserves a more impressive solo career. He could have achieved more by using all his potential for personal success, and not for collective creativity as part of a cult, but a group.

Kutikov has one answer: “Machine” is his home, “drivers” are family, and he is engaged in personal projects no less than others.

Hornist from the Patriarchs

He is one of the most devoted fans of Moscow Spartak. Alexander Kutikov jokes that the love of football and a patronymic are all that he inherited from his father. Viktor Petukhov, in addition to Spartak, played for the Wings of the Soviets from Kuibyshev. But instead of him, who left the family early, the main man in the family was his maternal grandfather, Naum Moiseevich Kutikov, who lived difficult life nomenclature worker of the Stalin and Khrushchev times.

Alexander Kutikov was born on April 13, 1952, near Moscow. His mother danced in a gypsy ensemble and, obviously, endowed her son with musicality and artistry at the genetic level. The childhood of the future rocker was a typical Soviet pioneer with a formally organized school life from morning and stormy courtyard life until night, where a strong character and strong fists were a tangible advantage. Boxing classes helped Sasha maintain authority among friends from the Patriarchs, and classes in music school in the class of wind instruments they made life easier at school and at a pioneer camp - there was no better bugler to be found.

Finding landmarks

At the age of 14, he first heard hitherto unfamiliar music from a friend - these were The Beatles. One of the compositions of Norwegian Wood impressed Kutikov so much that soon the desire to engage in such music became decisive for him for the rest of his life. There was an incentive to master the guitar, which was helped by classes at a music school.

To start labor activity Alexander Kutikov chose a specialty in the related music of the region - a sound engineer. Soon he became one of the youngest specialists in working with sound at the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. Among those whom he recorded during broadcasts and in the studio were many pop stars of that time: Karel Gott, Helena Vondrachkova, Singing Guitars, etc. People with common interests are always drawn to each other, and soon Kutikov finds himself among those who were involved in the birth of Russian rock.

Birth of "MV"

Later, Kutikov said semi-seriously that the desire to master the bass guitar arose from two circumstances. The first is that there are fewer strings on the bass, and the second is an acute shortage of great bass players in all groups that have arisen since the late sixties all over Moscow. He quickly became known as a master bass player. Therefore, when young Andrey Makarevich was looking for a replacement for a guitarist who had gone into the army, Kutikov turned out to be the way. They became friends with Andrey from the time of his studies at the architectural institute, so he joined the team painlessly, introducing a major rock and roll spirit into it.

Alexander Kutikov, whose biography has been associated with the "Time Machine" since 1971, left the group several times in order to be its permanent member since 1979. The first departure was caused by a conflict with one of the co-founders of the group - Sergey Kavagoe, because of which in the 79th year "MV" had to be recreated. In 1975, Kutikov left the group to officially get a job - he was invited to otherwise he was threatened with a term for parasitism.

"Leap Summer"

After the first departure from MV, Kutikov played in a group created by A. Sitkovetsky from the “wreckage” of the Airport and Sadko teams. The time spent in Leap Summer turned out to be useful for the musician. He acquired valuable experience work with high-class musicians, once again appreciated the importance of the poetic component of rock: on his recommendation, the famous poetess Margarita Pushkina wrote the texts for some of the VL compositions. In the group, he met a drummer who became his long-term colleague in the "Machine".

Pinnacle of it creative union was a scandalous victory at the 1974 rock festival in Tallinn, where the Time Machine also participated. Then, despite the pressure of the ideological authorities, the group became a laureate. But two bears in one lair are crowded, and Leap Summer broke up into Rock Studio and Autograph, and Kutikov and Efremov, together with Makarevich, became the core of the revived Time Machine.

New turn

Andrey Makarevich and Alexander Kutikov, whose photos were present on all MV discs and posters, began to work together again. For more than four decades, the composition of the group has shuffled many times, but as Alexander says: “These are all our people!”. During all this time he has made a significant contribution to the collective creative process. Kutikov is a full-fledged co-author of many compositions with which "Machine" is personified. He composed music for such hits as "Turn", "Jumps", "For those who are at sea", "Music under the snow", "Night", "Good hour", "He plays at the funeral", "If If only we were older." According to connoisseurs, only the unique Kutikovsky vocal gives the performance of these songs a true authenticity.

Like other participants of the Time Machine, it accumulates its own musical material and Alexander Kutikov. His discography solo albums began in 1990 with the disc "Dancing on the Roof" and has seven albums. Among them are Miracle Shop (1996), The Best. Time Machine" (2002), "Demons of Love" (2009). Started in 2014 new stage V solo work musician. He began to actively cooperate with people who had previously helped him in recording solo discs. Soon the album "Alexander Kutikov and the Nuance group" was released.

With "Machine" and without it

He has many creative incarnations. He is an experienced sound producer who has worked with rock and pop stars: Alla Pugacheva, Leonid Agutin, Bravo, Nautilus-Pompilius and many others. He released CDs with recordings by I. Brodsky and Yu. Aleshkovsky. He participated in many television projects, among them the famous "Old songs about the main thing." He is the owner of a record company.

But, most importantly, he continues to compose and perform good music.
