I will leaf through your booklet with your permission. There are such interesting props here. There is a collection of earrings, which slowly brings me to the earring song… It’s an older one, isn’t that brand new?
It was created as a single and is on the album as a bonus, just like Je to tódő. Since we already had them uploaded, they are added there.
But it’s a fact that I still have a lot of props there, which I brought from home, because that’s how I always work. Even in those video clips, you can usually see my shops.

Does this mean that you, even as an actor, are a so-called realist?
Quite yes, I surround myself quite a bit. I’m trying to cut back on it now…
Can’t you come home?
A little, I can’t fit in anywhere. I myself already realize that the stuff I collected was a lot, so now I’m taming myself. I know that even from a philosophical point of view it is not good to overwhelm things. But then again, I heard now that there is a term that is a mental anchor – I have already named it that myself.
I’m quite a scalar and I don’t remember much. I like to bring different things from my travels or collect them, and I actually enjoy how they are around me, that each thing has a story.
I don’t order things online to have at home. It’s just that the thing has to come to me somehow, so it’s varied. Now I’m trying to move towards the fact that I prefer to take musical instruments with me from trips that I know I can use later, so it has even more value.
You bought some terrible whistle in Azerbaijan.
Not in Azerbaijan. Just in Ladakh, I bought a Tibetan monk’s trumpet, three meters long.
Can you play it?
Yes. Right now we’re having an album launch at La Fabrice, on Friday and Saturday, and I’ll be playing that three-meter trumpet there. I rather fart about it…
That’s basically a didgeridoo!
It’s like a didgeridoo. And I wrote a song for it: I brought it from India, the band will kill me… It’s such a joke just for the christening, but the song sounds great because the other musicians play well – only then suddenly there is a strange sound.
And do you have a fujara and shepherd’s whistles?
I absolutely love that. I’ve also played those endings at concerts. And fujara, that’s the high one, I have one here too, in C major. I brought these with me when I was in Slovakia to walk for a few days alone in Tribeca – how is that novel that people get lost there. That’s why I went there.
I would never go there! I saw the movie! If I hadn’t seen Petr Bebjak’s film Tribeč, I would have gone there – but to see the lights in the forest in the movie and then wait at night until I first see unknown lights, and then I go crazy…
That’s what I went there for. So I haven’t seen the movie, but I knew there was a novel where people go missing. I used to tell my friends that we ride in the mountains with them and we always read books: go there and we’ll read a horror book.

Did you go to Tribeca and read the book there at night? You are not normal.
I was there alone in the end. I quite like to be scared. But those people get lost there in the fall, which I only read in that book, and I was there in the summer. I was so looking forward to being alone in that forest and I wasn’t really scared. It was very nice.
And I just bought about five of those end caps and the fujara from such an old gentleman down there, probably in Nitra. That’s how you bring those things… and I actually use those tools! I have great sounding sticks from Cuba, which I don’t think I would buy here, or for crazy money.
And what do you think when you find a woman’s earring in your own bed?
Probably what everyone does when it happens to someone. You usually know who it belongs to. But once upon a time I even happened to find something like that… No, that’s a complicated, complicated story.
So, now for the story.
I don’t remember exactly how it was, but I know it was very funny. Based on this song, Náušnice, I got a call from a former lover, with whom we are still friends. She wrote to me: I remember well how I was at your place then, then you told me that I forgot something at your place and I told you, thank you, but it’s not mine.
So sometimes you get carried away, it’s dangerous. In that song I say: these little inconspicuous marks. I always think, it can’t be a coincidence that something like this always stays there.
Where did the inspiration for the individual songs of Orozovic’s album When a Guy Undresses Darkness come from? Listen to the full interview.
