Antony Kalugin is a prolific musician and composer from Ukraina. His bands Karfagen, Sunchild and Hoggwash plus his solo albums has gained him many fans. 
I (Read: His wife Valentina) dragged him away from the studio, where he was putting the final touches on the new Karfagen album Lost Symphony to get his story for ProgArchives.
#########################################################################################

Just to start
with, some personal stuff. Your biography has been covered at length
in your biography and I refer everyone to this biography. But why did you take up music
and/or progressive rock instead of any of the many other activities
healthy Ukraine youths like yourself could take up instead ? 

It
was my dream to be a “storyteller” from my youth, to create
something that would inspire other people, make their life more whole
“saturated”.  I’d spend days listening to music and trying to
write my own few lines a chord structure here and there trying to get
some ideas of my own, try to work out how I could become a writer
myself… While most of the youngsters were playing in the yard. It
was my choice. It was written in the Stars.

I
have noticed that many metal and prog bands from Ukraine is very
inspired by the local nature, history, art and folklore. How much has
Ukraine, one of the biggest countries in the world, inspired you and
in which way?

Of
course I have some “local” influences, but at the end of the day
we’re people of the world and like some Wiseman said: “ we enjoy
the things that we can imitate”. I love and admire the old school
classical composers – Edvard Grieg, Rimskiy Korsakov, Chaykovskiy –
they’re not Ukrainian, but you’ll hopefully find some moods in my
music that you can liken to the work of these great composers they
inspired me and opened my mind musically. I love our Ukrainian nature
our heritage and countryside, there pieces are not broken and stolen
by humans, it’s gorgeous, and inspires you endlessly, creating so
many magnificent warm images in your head.

You
started up Karfagen as a band with your classmates around 1994 and
stopped it before Will Mackie of Caerllysi Music (from Wales) got you
back on the right track again and you recorded so far four albums and
are in the middle of recording the fifth album when I rudely
interrupted you.

I’ve already
recorded the new Karfagen album “Lost Symphony”, while writing
these lines the master cd is already at the pressing factory. It’s
been a long learning road already and I still know the road has so
far to travel. The beauty of music is you are always learning. Maybe
its because I am still young that I feel this way but I awake each
day to live for the music and have tried to adopt the mental attitude
to make progress creatively each day make another small step forward
along that road.. 

For
the benefit of those of us already alive and those yet to be born,
please give us your brief or long thoughts on.... 

Continium
from 2006

A
major step forward for me  the first album recorded with the whole
band. (‘The Water” 2002 was recorded by myself).  It was a short
but a novatorskiy album. With each track so personal and significant
to me even at that early stage as a writer. Today “Marvellous
Dance” is still one of my favorite instrumental tracks and a good
example of my work. Now almost a decade later it has stood the test
of time as a true art rock album. it is an album that is still very
close to my heart

The
Space Between Us from 2007

It’s
a nice album, but I have contradicting feelings to it. It’s has not
such a well crafted polished sound, spoiled by the electronic drums
and bass, but on the other hand I am still very pleased with my
writing it has some really nice melodies and a more jazz rock
oriented structure. “Labyrinth” is a live instrumental hit on our
shows.

The
Key to Perception from 2009

It’s
a compilation double album of the earlier K albums plus a lot of
bonus tracks. Demos and unreleased material. It was the and of a
chapter in my work, and since then having had time to reflex I wanted
to include some of my inner thoughts relating to the tracks thru the
booklet and also let the listener hear a wider range of what was
happening musically in my head with them as I was still musically
trying to find my way so to speak. It’s a very honest open book
look at those years which as Will always tells me shows the roots of
my love for melody and my use of structure.

Solitary
Sandpiper Journey from 2010

This
sees the introduction to any great degree of vocals within K It’s
another major step forward, of which I wrestled with for some time.
But in the end Serg Will and myself were so pleased with the takes we
went for it. Hand on heart I really enjoyed making it and I am so
proud of it as a complete work that has an embodied sound with
well-structured material. Mystery and Carpathians in particular
showed the expansive side of K and the new direction the project work
was taking. It has a “fairytale” flavor that is complimented by a
beautiful cover painted by Alla Navrotskaya. 

You
are answering these questions in-between putting the finishing
touches to the fifth Karfagen album. Please tell us more about this
album.

It’s
more symphonic a bigger sounding album than even Sandpiper. At the
moment it is like my newborn baby so close to my heart and really
hope you’ll enjoy it too .
It is centered around two longish tracks which glue the whole thing
together musically It’s something that will recall sweet memories
of the creative mid seventies with its moods and warmth. I very
satisfied with the sound and proud to have some great Ukrainian
musicians on board as well as Roberto Diaz from “Anima Mundi”
(Cuba) – who played some electric guitars on a few compositions.
The cover once again is done by Alla Navrotskaya its very attractive
and unique.

Let's move onto your next project. In the middle of releasing Karfagen albums , you took a step sideways and set up Hoggwash. Why did you set up this
project?

It
was a Will`s idea! We became great friends during the making of
Horizon .what started out as Wills instrumental melodies ended up as
proper songs with lyrics along the process I became engrossed in it
so much that it become a true collaboration.

You/Hoggwash
released the The Last Horizon album in 2007. Please tell us more
about this album.

 In
general, it’s one of my favorite albums to date. If have`t heard it
you should do this! The cd last year had to be repressed due to
popular demand and songs such as Rainbow Sky and Last Card are big
favorites when we play live. There is so much innocence in the music
. I was singing as lead vocalist for the first time on an album and
found it was something I really enjoyed. This opened many doors for
me making me a much more rounded musician and able to express myself
more fully. all of a sudden there was another dimension I could
explore. 

There have been rumors about a
second album. What is the future for Hoggwash?

Yes
we have a lot of material for the new album enough for a double or
third album as well. Each time I visit Will there are more new
tracks, which we play and continually look to improve. I an so
looking forward to when I have the spare time to go into the studio
and nail the follow up there will be a lot expected as it has become
something of a cult album as time has passed. It has the working
title “Casino of Life”, hopefully it’ll be released late 2012
but I am not going to rush it just for the sake of releasing another
cd next year. 

Your
third project is Sunchild. This is as far as I understand it a proper
band. Why did you set up Sunchild ? 

After
recording demos for “The Gnomon” it was obvious that it sounded
so different to “Karfagen” it’s more proggy and … plus it’s
also very much a vocal project. I thought of it maybe as a solo
album, but then we decided to create Sunchild as a project musically
so different to Karfagen with each album hopefully the difference
between the two projects is widening. 

You
have released four albums with Sunchild. Please tell us more
about..... 

The Gnomon from 2008 

It
includes a track, which has already started to gain cult status
“Sleepwalker” – monumental progressive epic – favorite piece
of my music for a lot of prog fans. “The Gnomon” is a concept
double album. Powerful and dynamic and saw me use a wide variety of
instruments via the amazing pool of musicians we have here in my
country. Also I looked to take the songs in a direction which was not
as predictable as most rock and to use something different other than
the standard guitar or keyboard solo that is the trade mark of the
progressive genre. Hopefully I still managed to retain the genre
whilst musically going outside of the box.

The
Invisible Line from 2009

Is
more “Pink Floydian” album with spacey atmosphere “Rain Drops”
is a popular ballad that’s become a Sunchild fav when on stage, I
can genuinely feel the warmth from the audience as they come with me
thru the song. It really is a magical feeling and everything that you
strive for when you set out to be a musician. To know they feel this
means everything to me Postcards from the Past is a track that we
have now developed in rehearsal and were so looking forward to
playing the extended version at summers end. “Amalgama” is a
strong prog instrumental piece almost like “Astoria” from “The
Gnomon” another track that has become our heartbeat when playing
the concerts.

The
whole concept of the invisible line as we may our way thru life is
something we all can relate to in one-way or another and take
different things from the album.

The
Wrap from 2010

Once
again a concept album but hopefully it is not as predictable as most
concepts tend to be. The storyline was kicking about in my head for
quite some time it was very satisfying to pull it all together in a
coherent manner it is mainly based on one big piece “the Wrap”
(38 min+ – you can say it’s a prog symphony .
It’s created so much diverse discussion, which is so healthy when
pushing the envelope musically. It’s probably the most experimental
Sunchild so far, but still has traditional shorter hit tracks, like
“Day of Destiny” and “ An Angel”. I am really looking forward
to seeing how this album sits with everyone in a few years time its
quite deep and if the listener stocks with it there is plenty there
to indulge in..

As Far As The
Eye Can See from 2011

Here
I have finally just gone for it with a proper song oriented album, I
feel it’s a brave step forward and as always I am fully aware of
the demands of the listener. So I try not to sacrifice melody for the
safety of say repetition or ad lib.   For those who love the more
complicated stuff it has the expressive almost mini ‘Musical’
track “Stars of Cardiff Bay”.  This title track is a beautiful
example of song writing using its many different components. It’s
Will Mackies favorite track sales of the album have continued the
upward tend with us each time starting from a higher core of a
fanbase.its an album that is packed
with songs to play live and Olgas vocals really do bring on board
another dimension..AS FAR AS will take us on to the next level as a
band and hopefully open a few more doors to festivals next summer and
beyond.

Is
there anything planned for Sunchild in the immediate future ? 

Of
course! We’re working now on the 5th Sunchild album called
“ISOLATION”
and will be released in the spring of 2012. Nearly everything has now
been recorded and here I go again folks as has become my habit its
another concept story for me to tell. It seems my writing generally
needs to have a reason more than just the song and I work better if
there is a core to build everything around, luckily I seem to have an
ability to build something and rather than build your average house I
am always trying to build something grander. Maybe it’s my
architectural background that enjoys things that are larger than life
or  maybe it’s just my personality or a combination of both.
Anyway, the outcome is then to have something extra for the listener
to take on board, it just heightens the whole experience for them.
Once again musically it’s not in the same vein a mark 2 of any of
the earlier works. Its another step forward in Sunchilds evolution.
The moment I write one album similar to another is the time to stop.
There is no point in doing this either for oneself or the listener.
You need as an artist to have something new creatively to say even if
it is not accepted by one and all. What it sounds like at the moment
,I will keep to myself just for a little longer. but I know it will
surprise so you have been warned folks!

So
you are involved in Karfagen, Hoggwash, Sunchild and your solo career
as a new age artist. How do you compare the four projects with each
other, music wise ? 

I
have not produced any new age music for a long time – at the
beginning of my writing was a 3 – 4 year period of learning,
earning some funds and searching for the right way to express myself
during that time I recorded a lot of new age albums for the home and
eastern european market. I plan when possible to release a few
compilations of these; those who like Peter Gabriels Real World
records or lately Mike Oldfield musical pictures will enjoy them.

Karfagen
is yourself. Sunchild is a band where you have to deal with others.
How would you compare those two experiences ?

Both
Karfagen and Sunchild are my projects. The difference is in the music
orientation. As outlined earlier the gap between the two styles to my
mind is widening with each album. It’s really exciting now to have
these two well-established projects as an outlet for my writing.
Obviously as a person I have a certain trademark, which can be heard
within everything I do but that’s where the similarity should
end.

Can you live of music or do
you need to have another more sane job besides of music to feed
yourself and your young family? 

When
I started the journey of making “The Last Horizon” with Will a
chemistry just sort of took over between the two of us. We have
talked about those early days many times and how we wanted to build a
wall of music that no one can breakdown, now many albums later I hope
we have that wall. At that time was already setting up the music shop
so with the help of Will Mackie and the whole “Caerllysi Music”
team we have grow together and I have been able to concentrate on my
music rather than prior to Hoggwash, writing new age music almost to
order for other people. I now make writing, producing and performing
music my life, so it’s my day job 
and I’m proud of it!

2012 is
just around the corner. A Happy New Year to you and your family. What
is your plans for 2012 and beyond ?

Thanks
a lot! There`re a lot of plans for 2012: The release of at least 2
albums in the year to hopefully to visit and play at as many prog
festivals as possible so anyone looking for a band at there festival
in 2012 please just contact either myself or Will. we will have
another rack at Summers End and hope this time to get over the visa
problems that prevented the guys coming with me in 2011 also we will
play Crescendo in France once again both organizers have been so kind
to me and the crowds so friendly , I cant wait to get back to these
places and hopefully some new ones as well.  

To
wrap up this interview, is there anything you want to add to this
interview ?

Thanks
Torodd, I wish all the best and A Happy New Year to You
and all Readers, thanks for there support! Without which there would
be not point to all of this.

We`re
keep rocking! As far as the mind can believe endlessly, As Far As The
Eye Can See…!!!

Antony K.
