Abstract

Einstürzende Neubauten (“Collapsing New Buildings”) is perhaps the most architectural name in the history of rock music. Moreover, architectural object as a symbol of restrictions and natural desire of liberation from their bounds can be distinguished as some of the keynotes of the band’s works. The presented research focuses on the development of this concept in the artistic heritage of Einstürzende Neubauten: from the images of architecture in Blixa Bargeld’s lyrics to the musicians’ interpretation of Gordon Matta-Clark’s “anarchitecture” ideas, as well as to the very specific of the musical form.

Summary

Introduction

Einstürzende Neubauten (“Collapsing New Buildings”) is perhaps the most architectural name in the history of rock music. В самом деле, в творчестве группы в том или ином виде часто фигурируют образы архитектуры — как отвлеченные мотивы, так и конкретные объекты. Себя же Бликса помещает в подвал, где «темно и влажно, как во чреве» (5) (или в могиле), намекая на то, что не собирается участвовать в жизни и дальнейшем возведении этого здания.
