about

Soviet architectural heritage is very brutal and romantic at the same time. In every city from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad there are the same concrete slab buildings. Generations of people had grown up in those Plattenbau houses, many cultural references are associated with them. This makes a lot of people (they often name themselves "doomers") feel this depressing and chtonic panel architecture as a part of their cultural code and nature. So once we thought: what if a neural network would be trained for drawing this Sad Russia. "Neurussia", as we called it. A soulless algorithm drawing generative cityscapes of uniform buildings that are soul pleasure for the generation of russian doomers.

This song was also created as a part of the project "Neurussia" and as a generative stream on Mubert AI platform - presenting the idea of endless trip through snow-covered Russian streets, yards with panel houses, a walk on phantasmagoric distorted urban provincial landscapes. The videoclip with crumbling and re-emerging "neurussian" high-rise buldings for this song is an AI generative visual assembled from a plurality of drawings of that non-existing unreal country created by the neural network.

lyrics

Стоит дом из стекла -
Не я, не я
Всё истлеет дотла,
Не ведая.
Стоит дом из стекла -
Не я, не я
Всё истлеет дотла,
Не зная

Расплескалась зима - зима
Растворила дворы, тая,
Разбивалась сама - сама
Голова моя дурная

Расколотит прибой - не вой
В пустоту улетит стая.
Чёрт не шутит с тобой - с тобой
Голова твоя дурная

Рухнет дом из стекла - не ты, не я,
Не оставит тепла, немея.
Лопнет дом из стекла - не ты, не я,
Дым растреплет по ветру время.
