Origins and Birth of "Vtoroe Dykhaniye"
Vtoroe Dykhaniye ("Second Wind") emerged in 1971 from the bonds forged between Nikolai Shiryayev and Maxim Kapitanovsky during their military service.
Upon their return, they met Igor Degtyaryuk, and together, they formed the initial lineup of the band.
Early Influences and Acclaim
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix's antithetical music, Vtoroe Dykhaniye became renowned as the loudest band in Moscow during that era.
Degtyaryuk's legendary amplifier and the band's exceptional Hungarian "Big" sound system amplified their electrifying performances.
Shiryayev became the first Moscow musician to acquire an "Aria" fretless bass guitar, enhancing the band's musicality.
Radiance and Style
The musicians of Vtoroe Dykhaniye exuded a distinctive style.Degtyaryuk graced the stage in colorful poncho and flared trousers adorned with peace symbols.
Shiryayev brought his flamboyant presence, characterized by wide-brimmed bell-bottoms and a beard reminiscent of Karl Marx.
Transitions and Collaborations
Kapitanovsky's departure in 1973 led to a brief period with Mikhail Sokolov.
Degtyaryuk briefly joined "Arsenal" before becoming a member of "Veselye Rebyata."
Shiryayev and Degtyaryuk toured with Tamara Miansarova from 1974 to 1976.
Degtyaryuk later played for Stas Namin's "Tsvety."
Rebirth and ExpansionShiryayev reformed Vtoroe Dykhaniye with Ivan Smirnov, Alexander Yudov, and Gennady Hashchenko, exploring jazz-rock.
They covered Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" and featured notable guest appearances by Sergei Potemkin.
The band dissolved in 1978, with Shiryayev joining "Leisya, Pesnya" and "Vector," a breakdance group.
Reunion and Legacy
In 1990, Shiryayev, Degtyaryuk, and Kapitanovsky reunited to record an album of Hendrix and original compositions.
The band gathered once more in 2001 for a series of concerts at the "Moscow. Music.2001" exhibition.
Tragedy struck in 2003 when Shiryayev was murdered near his home, leaving an unfillable void in the Vtoroe Dykhaniye legacy.
