Video "Toi et Moi" was filmed in London, Madrid, Beijing and Berlin. Why did you choose these cities?

We love all cities. Most of our videos are shot in London and Madrid (for Example, "Spaces"

or our cover song of Moderato "RustyNails"

And also part in Beijing (as "Symmetry").

And a few months ago we went to Berlin to play in Berghain, and we are very ponravilos, so we also filmed a video in Berlin ("Who are all of you?"

or, as you said, "Toi et moi").

You have previously worked with the classic tools?

Of course. We've both done in the past. But now it's different. String Quartet similar to another artist in our songs ("War")

You've been to Russia several times with Placebo. What are you expecting this time from the Russian fans who associate you with the Placebo and what they should expect from you?

I like to play in Russia, the fans are very loving and generous with their enthusiasm! I hope that this time it will be an amazing performance.

How do you find your inspiration?

Life! ... Life - the most amazing inspiration. When you feel happy, you can refresh the music, and when you are feeling down, you can cure the pain of this music. Music is the best medicine.

Where are you favorite places to play?

Everywhere. We can play outside and we can play on a big festival, and we will feel the same. The Main Thing - Music. And feel the sound.

What track never gets old for you, no matter how many times you heard it?

Our song "Spaces" (version string Quartet). Every time we hear it, it's like the first time. Very emotional.

What you can do every day, and it will never get tired of?

Music.

Three associations with Russia and Russian people.

Gusli, balalaika, theremin

A few words for the Russian audience.

Come to our club "Pluto" in Moscow. It will be a special concert for us. Love, xxx
