PIROG KRADEN' is an album about a homeless man, an outside observer of a bustling metropolis. These nine tracks are essentially a kaleidoscope of images of the people around him. The experimental high-speed electronics are interrupted by moments of silence — the homeless man’s gaze.
With the same chaotic density that fills the streets closer to noon, the visuals begin to grow noisy and layer upon themselves. Only the image of the character himself, who, as we’ve established, is far less connected to the city than any of us remains untouched, but now in the form of merchandise.

Speaking of titles, it is worth mentioning the main idea behind the Kop’e project, namely, a retreat into complete musical abstraction. The distortion of titles and the absence of lyrics make it possible to break free from a definitive linguistic context, which in turn allows one to work with the very element of sound itself.
Music
The album is devided into two parts:
high-speed electronica (9 traks of a homeless man perspective)
ambient (longmix of a city dweller’s perspective)

Art
A series of four-second videos captures the suffering of a small paper homeless man. He is inconspicuous and alone; each scene is accompanied by background noise, evoking a sense of emptiness and futility. The duration of the video does not depend on what happens to the homeless man — it always lasts exactly four seconds. The paper figure becomes a symbol of fragility in the face of the world.
We constantly try to avoid encounters with the homeless moving to the other end of the carriage to get away from them, stepping around their sleeping bodies. The homeless man is depersonalized in the eyes of the average city dweller; he exists only as a status. In this way, the project becomes a meditation on the figure of the «little man» in general.
