about

The latest release of Andrey Rasputin in collaboration with the Mestnost label was inspired by the regional natural history and is dedicated to the Chertanovo district, which can now be sensually explored at the level of soundscapes. Chertanovo is the embodiment of intricate architecture inspired by the works of Le Corbusier, a vacuum garbage chute, ponds with green spaces, Bitsevsky Park with mythical hares, thoroughbred voles, an infamous serial killer and so much more - each resident is sure to find their own mystical Chertanovo altar. All this regional splendor has long been begging for a soundtrack. After all, cinematography with its whimsical and fictional visualization has long taken up residence on the Chertanovo block - from Ryazanov to Bondarchuk.
 
You can slide the air pods deeper into your ears, press play, and go sightseeing. The Chertona track tells a story about the river of the same name, which is a tributary of the Gorodnya River and has now been turned into the Upper and Small Chertanovsky Ponds. A77 will transport you to OPZhR, that is, an exemplary promising residential district, which is basically an “American town” in a nutshell with its iconic maze house. Medvezhka is going to take you on a ride down the legendary hill of the same name, aka the “bald mountain”, while the BITZA track with its dark, gloomy and ragged samples will be reminiscent of the Bitsevsky serial killer – any way you look at it, he is still part of the district’s history. Each song is a full-fledged story, an intimate and extremely personal reliving of the chronicles of Chertanovo “Narnia”, converted into an elaborate sound architecture that stands on the piles of broken beats.
 
 
Are there any cherti (Russian word for demons) in Chertanovo? Surely, there must be some. Where would we be without innate, at times backward Russian idiosyncrasies with their small-town phenomenality and epic mystery, which can only be conveyed by non-verbal means - and voila, here they are.
