The musical composition “Signal” is an homage to “Signal System” series painted by Yuri Zlotnikov (based on the study of an impact of a painting on a person).

“Meat Grinder 2” is an attempt, at one hand, to “listen” to the past – and to distance ourselves from the current moment on the other. The title is referred to the eponymous 1928 OBERIU’s film by Klimenti Mints and Aleksandr Razumovsky, which was proclaimed as an anti-war statement by the authors. “Meat Grinder 2” is constructed from the lines of people who witnessed an air raid. Each line reflects a certain auditory experience, and together they are built into a chronicle of one single day, the sequence of events of which is deconstructed in the film.
