May 15, on the platform of Okko under the project of Ivan Vyrypaev “OKKO Theatre” will be presented to the home concert of Boris Grebenshchikov “Kvartyrnyk BG” in the shooting which took part the bass guitarist of group “Cinema” and “Aquarium” Alexander Titov. Boris Grebenshchikov, whose quarantine was caught in London, in correspondence with the YouTube Barabanova talked about how songs were selected for this program, which to him mean house concerts and what is the fate of the new album.— How do you feel?— Thank you :-)— Can you describe the place in which you now live?— Again, I live on the roof — and I love it.— Had a chance to assess whether British health care system? Or God saved?— Once many years ago faced. The doctors say the less to communicate with doctors, the better.— All the time that we all are in quarantine around me argue, stimulate this picture is the creativity (because there are a lot of free time), or, on the contrary, do not want anything (since not see prospects, and fear and laziness win talent).— If the person is engaged in work for the sake of some “prospects”, or his laziness, and fear was stronger than the desire to create, and thank God that he will refrain, and will not clutter the ether with their works. A real desire to create something stronger than all other motives. So thank Heaven for the present — day pause- it is given so that we can better know ourselves. And in light of this new knowledge did something you couldn’t do before. Also the people associated with the work, saying that now is the time to analyze the archives, in the case of musicians, “to dust off the old tapes” to finish the music, which was not enough time. There is no such order to the music of “not enough time”. For what else is time? And as for me, I now have the blessed opportunity to do something interesting, not in a hurry.— In the period when all the circumstances came to play the appartment, was their romanticizing, although in the appartment in which you have participated during the 1980s, there was little romance — it was a necessary measure and unlawful. How do you think that this form of speech now there’s a new sense? Maybe it’s a way to hone new songs or something else? I caught myself on the fact that I am very interested to read and respond to your questions, Boris. It’s like they’re from another world, where people have other, quite unknown to me, values. For me, the concerts, play at someone’s home is special and beautiful this form of art. The lack of distance between singing and listening eliminates the possibility of wrong. We were lucky to have a musical form, was never a forced measure, we practiced at home, and playing at home, we have music. And if you play music illegally, then is it fair to these laws and whether they comply?I still love to play someone at home.— How did you choose the songs for the jam session in London? I understand that you decided not to be limited to only those songs that the public are most familiar acoustic recordings of “Aquarium”.— We with Sasha (Alexander Titov.— “Kommersant”), just like 35 years ago — played what comes to mind. And solve nothing necessary — in such concerts one song leads to another in a natural way. It was not “planned and calculated action”, and of course the joy unexpectedly to play together — something we haven’t done.— As far as I know from the stories of your friends, you have been looking for a sound for the song “Rasta Basta”, it had many versions. And in the appartment it sounds in modest arrangements of guitar and bass. If this does not look like the sort of abuse the long-suffering work?— This song works in all versions, she’s got a big heart. It start to sing and she blows you. Much suffering I can not call, it has more power than I have. And a few dozen Studio options made for two years, is a natural search for the right sound. The search is not over, but I can already hear what will be the result.— The songs “Sign” and “don’t Even think about it”, you might say, entirely new, they were heard only at concerts during the last year. Will you produce them?— Recorded both; and both will soon be released on different albums. Because after the new album will soon be followed by another meeting of the network of singles and just songs.— I catch each of the rollers of your series “Offering interesting time.” Do I understand correctly that all the videos are shot in the same place, but every time you find a new perspective, a new “set”? How do you choose songs for this series?— Again, sing what feels right for today. And shoot in different places, in which I get carried away.— Who selects to you dresses — all of these vests, hoodies, bandanas? They are very cool.— What I’m wearing, all my life I choose myself, then I have — good or bad — advisers no. Alexander Titov is now engaged in the project associated with the concert performance of songs of group “Cinema” of its living participants. Did you discuss with Oleksandr Valentynovych this work?— In Salkini things I uninvited’t climb, that would be rude. I wish him luck!— Honestly, I was confused when I saw on Twitter your post about raising money for the album “Aquarium”. Don’t you regret that the request turned out to be so straightforward, with a number of cards? Don’t understand the cause for confusion. For qualitative record of music need money and concerts now, no. I ��ry grateful to those people who are very time offered to help us.— You have a great experience with crowdfunding platforms. This model no longer works?— Works fine, just in this case, the formalities took a very long time, and pay the Studio couldn’t wait. Was it a surprise to you the reaction of some colleagues on this tweet? For example, Armen Grigoryan spoke just rude.— I do not know, do not read any negative reviews; however, if people want to speak badly of me, that is their right.— The Studio where you recorded the album, now closed? Or all of the work could (will) terminate?— Working in the Studio all the time (actually, this recording lasts for more than two years in different places). But the light at the end of the tunnel getting closer and closer. I want to finish and release the album by early summer. And what will happen there — you will hear; why spoil the surprise :-).— As anyone imprisoned during the quarantine, you are probably a lot of looking and reading. Share your experiences and recommendations.— From the TV series, of course, recommend “Mandalore”, “Good omens”, even “the Witcher” looked with pleasure. From the movies, too, of course — new paintings Tarantino, Jarmusch and guy Ritchie. Books — a new novel by William Gibson. But “concerts under lock and key” I did not see any. Do not have time.
