Race to Space. "Robogirl"
February 4, Moscow Space Electronics Group Race to Space produces on the Label "Dark Horses" the debut album " IS This Home ? " , and on February 12, it will present it with a concert at the Club of 16 tons . In support of the album, the keyboard player and the permanent director of the clips of the group Peter Fedorov shot a clip in which her vocalist - actress Miriam Sehon first appears. In the role of airless space - the outskirts of South Butov.
- Why did the song “ Robogirl ” choose to declare the release of the debut album?
Miriam Sehon: This song is another facet of Race music to Space . It is ridiculous that this is the most uncosmic song, even like a gateway, but at the same time tripod. At one time it seemed to me awkward to be frank and concrete in the text of the song. After all, it is similar to what you can say into the phone after the signal of the answering machine, thinking that he will not hear when he probably sits nearby and does not pick up the phone. I like that we have such a song: in it you can play a cool woman, this very Robogirl . In addition, with all the frankness, the song is very cold, like winter in the video, like winter now.
- What kind of landscapes outside the bus window?
Peter Fedorov: Outside the window, the wonderful landscapes of our city-troglodyte, devouring new lands. But for many Race participants to Space these landscapes are somewhat dearer than Red Square or Stoleshnikov Lane, in general, this is our favorite area of South Butovo. For a long time I wanted to testify to respect for the place with which our creative addresses are associated, so to speak, to sing the district homeland, and at the same time say goodbye to your favorite forest and the field that are now busy. But this was not a super -task, rather, a visual creative search in the genre was interesting, where the aesthetics of the new Moscow ghetto, which, in fact, is impossible to shoot, would look convincing. It is always interesting to create an environment where recognizable things or places suddenly appear in a completely different atmosphere, different from household perception.
Moscow in the winter in the MKAD area is not the most color world.
The cold " Robogirl " wanted to emphasize even the weather. In short, inspired by the powerful images of our region, we chose the coldest day, in my opinion, was -30, gathered people and engaged in creativity. The main task was not to freeze our beautiful Masha, who bravely sang in the cold.
- What can Robogirl be , what can a person cannot?
Sehon: Robogirl makes decisions, brings the case to the end. She is cold -blooded and does not compromise, she is like a robot, but since she is Girl , she can still hurt and hurt her, and then she begins to take revenge. In short, she can do what I can’t. She is like a black mamba, only from the industrial suburbs.
-Why is the clip black and white?
Fedorov: In Monochrome, I decided to shoot initially. I like this move if it is justified by the genre, but just in case, it drove the color version to post -derivatives to test himself - it turned out to be terrible. Moscow in the winter in the MKAD area is not the most color world. But we are still in the search for poetics.
- Which camera is used this time?
Fedorov: I wanted some kind of viscous environment in which people would look like some phantoms, from here the idea came about Rapid, used several different cameras, but the main choice fell on the Sony camera Nex FS 700 . It is not very heavy and gives a pleasant picture at the required speed.
- Why are you shooting clips in the Arthouse genre, and not in the genre of Stalingrad?
Fedorov: As a director of small forms of indie janra, I also dream of something big, about thirty-million -dollar, but not within the Robogirl clip . Although…
© Race to Space- What is this video about?
