Александр Башлачёв - Интервью Ал.Шипенко и Б.Юхананову, 1986г. - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

"This interview was a specific goal. It was recorded in the spring of 1986 for the play" Observer ", which was conceived as a novel about a rock musician. A play was written, and then it went into such a kind of creative development within the work on the play. The author of this play - Lesha Shipenko, and I am as a director. We worked together on this topic. Many things were done there. Just at that time, Sasha often visited Moscow, and I decided to meet with him to accumulate sound and simultaneously semantic documentary material for this performance. In addition, there was an idea that Sasha would participate in it ... We met mainly at night, wandered ... He was in a very bright and excellent condition. His internal vibrations were at that moment, as it seems to me , at the limit - very positive, and the light was very strong. And now we decided to make a very high -quality entry with him in the WTO studio, and then with Borea Grebenshchikov specifically for this work to process the material and, as it were, as it were Gather the matrix. This is not an interview for a newspaper, not an interview for a magazine, this is a paradoxical thing - an interview for the performance. In fact, a very original genre turned out to be, well, in its own way, completely magical. In particular, we asked about death, because the plot of the performance itself is a myth. The central myth was that the musician exhausts music and life in himself. And I asked Sasha directly to get the opportunity to arrange the topic itself. And it so happened that this interview went deeper in the process of the conversation itself completely unexpectedly for us and reached rather marginal topics that were not planned either by us or Sasha and not related to the current moments of our being at this time.
