"Gromyk." "Testosterone"

“Pioneers of a heavy psychedelic twist” and “Masters of the absurd with a strict expression” “Gromyk” are preparing to release in April a new, fourth, album, which will be a duet with Vasya Vasin from the “bricks” “Testosterone”. In anticipation of this event, Colta.ru represents a video clip on the “testosterone”, along with the thoughts of the “thunder” about the Russian rap and calls for safe sex.

- How did you sang with Vasya Vasin and why with him? Who does he portray in the video?

-Somehow in the fall, Gromyk was offered to participate in one project, which required the so-called collaboration, that is, the joint track of the artists dissimilar to each other. From the list of groups of Gromyk groups, only “bricks” were known to choose from. But then they were on tour, and cooperation did not take place. Subsequently, however, Vasily Vladimirovich Vasin said that he would love to participate in the creation of a joint musical work with the Gromyk group. When the “Gromyka” had a suitable song - “Testosterone” - Vasily Vladimirovich was invited to write eight tactes of the so -called rap. Due to his fertility, Vasily Vladimirovich wrote much more, but still organically embedded in the structure of this musical work.

The co -authors at the same time reflected on the shooting of video illustrations for the song "Testosterone". Suffice it to say that the goers expected as many as two filming groups - on the one and the other side. As a result, the video was organized by Vasily Vladimirovich Vasin, but with the participation of Maxim Valerievich (Koshelev - vocalist “Gromyk”. - Ed. ).

The final result is logically presented in two little similar options - in the version of Vasily Vladimirovich Vasin and in the version of the Gromyk group. Which, of course, makes both the song itself and the video images for it are more voluminous.

It is curious that besides the voice of V.V. Vasina used the public's vote in the recording of the Testosterone track, which came to the concert in the Union (St. Petersburg) on ​​November 2 and to the Zyuzino Ryumny (Moscow) on November 24, 2017. Gromyk asked the audience to do certain vocal exercises that were recorded using sound recording equipment. Also, the sounds “A”, “O”, “U” are published in the record singers and director from the Opera theater, a high -ranking geologist and musicians of the Gromyk group themselves.

V.V. Vasin in the tunic of the lieutenant general of the medical service appears as a video clip as a former “Colonel Vasin” , who advanced in the service. But this is the interpretation of the Gromyk group, for sure, Vasily Vladimirovich also has its explanation for the image.

- “Testosterone” - a warm -up before a new album? What will it be? When to wait for him?

-The song “Testosterone”, like the previously released “Platee my jelly” and “well, will enter the new album“ Gromyki ”. The release should be waiting in April. At the moment, Gromyk is working on his filling. And, according to a worthy Soviet tradition, the crew and technical characteristics of the spacecraft will report immediately after its entry into orbit.

- What is the reaction of the public to another video - “Deliver to Moscow”? It, let's say, is provocative. Did anyone provoke and what?

- The work of the Belarusian multiplier Fedor bald, of course, did not leave the indifferent network public. Its representatives make both expected and completely incomprehensible conclusions. As a clear example of Gromyk, I would like to bring one of the audience to the watched animated work for the song “Deliver to Moscow”:

"Sergey Nazarov, a week ago:

The clip of the Belarusian director for the song of the Russian group, and the Ukrainians are arranged in the comments ... And after that we are not fraternal peoples? ”

- What do you think of the Russian rap? Do you have your favorite Russian rap artists?

- At one of the recent St. Petersburg performances, Gromyk made a luxurious gift - L.I. Brezhnev "Our course is peaceful creation." This is a rare monophonic recording of the legendary battles of an invincible Secretary General with voters of the Bauman constituency of Moscow on February 22, 1980.

Although this record is inferior to its conceptual double album of 1976 “in the name of peace and social progress”, the stormy prolonged applause finishing the Bauman Battle show that, as an unsurpassed master of the panchlin, the Secretary General was in excellent combat form and perfectly owned all four techniques of dialectics.

- Igor Matvienko believes that the Russian rap propagates sex and drugs among young people. And it can be dangerous. What are the songs of the “Gromyk” songs? And what do you even think about the effectiveness of songs (any) as a way of promoting any ideas?

- Not only the Russian rap propagates drugs, but also the foreign epic. In 1978, the company "Melody" launched the disk giant of the big friend of the Soviet people-the French singer Mirei Mathieu, on which the song "Chao, Bambino, Sorry" . This song contained (and still contains) an open call for drug use ( “Vas Fumer Ta Marijuana” - what can be approximately translated from French as “go and smoke Anashi!”). Highly beloved by the Soviet people, this song, however, did not produce the destructive effect expected by the imperialist producers, since on the guard of the interests of the Motherland, a linguistic barrier was jointly erected by two ministries in time - defense and education.

There are no propaganda in the songs of the “thunders”, but there are various calls to something: for example, a call to safe sex (“not in me!”), An increase in the birth rate (“Do not be shy”) or to something incredible (“Straight, road!”).
