Bio:
Oleg Fateev was born on the 5th of July1967 in Bendery (also called Tighina), a town in Moldavia on the banks of the beautiful Dnestr river.
"Before I started my studies at the Russian Gnesin Academy of Music in Moscow, I did two years of service in the Russian army. This was mandatory and I chose to do it before my studies.
Unfortunately I was going to be stationed in Afghanistan. But the day before leaving, a conducting teacher, who I met by coincidence, told me that some colonel was looking for an accordionist for his military ensemble in Moscow. Without this chance encounter my life would have been very different."
At the age of 29 Oleg moved to the Netherlands and started playing on the streets, where his talent was soon recognized by performing artists from all kinds of musical styles. His versatility manifested itself in the diverse projects he has worked on in recent years. He performed together with the dance company of Krisztina de Chatel, Theater Artemis and the theatre company Oostpool.
Furthermore Oleg wrote music for the Wajdi Mouawad trilogy by the RO Theatre. Beside many solo concerts, he worked with Herman van Veen, Robert Long, Leoni Jansen, Jeroen Willems, Nynke Laverman, Hadewych Minis, John Engels, Oene van Geel, Wolfert Brederode, Wouter Vossen, Jeroen van Vliet and Claron McFadden.
Oleg has worked as a conductor, composer and arranger for different theatre companies and has cooperated with theatre makers such as Johan Simons (Zuidelijk Toneel/ Hollandia), Alize Zandwijk and Gerardjan Rijnders (RoTheater), Floor Huygens and Bert Luppes (Theater Artemis). In 2018 Oleg did a theatre tour with journalist and filmmaker Jelle Brandt Corstius. In the same year he took part in the tour ‘Chansons van Schoonheid en Troost’ of Britta Maria and Maurits Fondse as their special guest.
Oleg has taken part in many international projects with several ensembles such as Loyko Gipsy Band (Russia), Ethel String Quartet (US), Shonaleigh Cumberg (UK) and The Nordanians (NL).
Furthermore he's worked with artists such as Chico Cesar, Badi Assad, Ceumar and Carlinhos Antunes (Brazil). Oleg performs as a duo with the Brazilian percussionist Simone Sou and as a trio together with Oene van Geel and Wolfert Brederode. Before these ensembles he led the Oleg Fateev Trio with Konstantin Iliev and Dion Nijland and he played with the Tiltan Quartet. Fateev gave concerts and workshops in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Norway, Spain, Scotland, England, Brazil, South Africa, China, Sweden, Jordan, Turkey, Taiwan and Portugal.

The Integrated Global Creative Economy
Wolfram Mathematics
From Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, the unprecedented integration of the creative economy. Creators planet-wide positioned within reach of each other and the entire world by means of technology + small-world theory (see Wolfram above). Bahia was final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other place on earth throughout all of human history. It was refuge for Sephardim fleeing the Inquisition. It is Indigenous both apart and subsumed into a sociocultural matrix which is all of these: a small-world matrix. Neural structures for human memory are small-world. This technological matrix is small-world...
In small worlds great things are possible.

Dear friends & colleagues,
Having arrived in Salvador 13 years earlier, I opened a record shop in 2005 in order to create an outlet to the wider world for Bahian musicians, many of them magisterial but unknown.
David Dye & Kim Junod for NPR found us (above), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (he's a huge jazz fan), David Byrne, Oscar Castro-Neves... Spike Lee walked past the place while I was sitting on the stoop across the street drinking beer and listening to samba from the speaker in the window...
But we weren't exactly easy for the world-at-large to get to. So in order to extend the place's ethos I transformed the site associated with it into a network wherein Brazilian musicians I knew would recommend other Brazilian musicians, who would recommend others...
And as I anticipated, the chalky hand of God-as-mathematician intervened: In human society — per the small-world phenomenon — most of the billions of us on earth are within some 6 or fewer degrees of each other. Likewise, within a network of interlinked artists as I've described above, most of these artists will in the same manner be at most a handful of steps away from each other.
So then, all that's necessary to put the Bahians and other Brazilians within possible purview of the wide wide world is to include them among a wide wide range of artists around that world.
If, for example, Quincy Jones is inside the matrix (people who have passed are not removed), then anybody on his page — whether they be accessing from a campus in L.A., a pub in Dublin, a shebeen in Cape Town, a tent in Mongolia — will be close, transitable steps away from Raymundo Sodré, even if they know nothing of Brazil and are unaware that Sodré sings/dances upon this planet. Sodré, having been knocked from the perch of fame and ground into anonymity by Brazil's dictatorship, has now the alternative of access to the world-at-large via recourse to the vast potential of network theory.
...to the degree that other artists et al — writers, researchers, filmmakers, painters, choreographers...everywhere — do also. Artificial intelligence not required. Real intelligence, yes.
Years ago in NYC I "rescued" unpaid royalties (performance & mechanical) for artists/composers including Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Mongo Santamaria, Jim Hall, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd (for his rights in Bob Marley compositions; Clement was Bob's first producer), Led Zeppelin, Ray Barretto, Philip Glass and many others. Aretha called me out of the blue vis-à-vis money owed by Atlantic Records. Allen Klein (managed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles) called about money due the estate of Sam Cooke. Jerry Ragovoy (Time Is On My Side, Piece of My Heart) called just to see if he had any unpaid money floating around out there (the royalty world was a shark-filled jungle, to mangle metaphors, and I doubt it's changed).
But the pertinent client (and friend) in the present context is Earl "Speedo" Carroll, of The Cadillacs. Earl went from doo-wopping on Harlem streetcorners to chart-topping success to working as a custodian at PS 87 elementary school on the west side of Manhattan. Through all of this he never lost what made him great.
Greatness and fame are too often conflated. The former should be accessible independently of the latter.
