Protagonista ovog filma je robot Srećko koji je priredio žurku za svoje drugare, male kućne aparate, dok su mu šefovi bili u samoizolaciji. Bilo je tu svega, crne i bele tehnike, neki su se snimali mikrofonom, neki su se resetovali, bilo je i dima. Nije mnogo prošlo a oni su ga ubedili da ode na "plastičnu operaciju". I tu stvari kreću nizbrdo. A šta se na kraju desilo, ne smemo ni da vam kažemo. Bilo je to pravo "društvo debakla". 
 
Neki ljudi su u konstantnom strahu da nešto propuštaju, da je zabava negde drugo. Zamislite samo kako je tek mašinama. Što kaže Srećko "ako je kraj sveta već blizu, onda hajde bar da se dobro zabavimo". I u pravu je.

Bob kaže: "Nastupi grupe Roza mogu se uporediti sa udarom komete repatice. Koma koja se javlja oko jezgra sastoji se od gasova i prašine, pa tako i posle Rozinih nastupa gasirana publika u oblaku prašine izlazi sa osećajem kao da su prošli kroz "toplog zeca". 
 
Ovi ambasadori podzemlja dejstvuju u rasteru rigoroznih ritmova Dušana Damnjanovića, bubnjara od nerva; bifurkacionih deonica Nebojše Kuzmanovića i magmatskih linija Stevana Ćirovića, indukujući zvuk koji epitomizira u pulsacije "od kojih se ježe obrve".
 
Film je sniman u Ljubljani, Ritopeku i na Paliluli, a montiran je u Zemunu. 
 
Ovaj singl je pravi singularitet, koji se dogodio, ali se nije desio. Ako me razumete?"

Roza kaže: "Boba sva trojica znamo kao čoveka koji već dugo vremena unazad razne muzičke i nemuzičke događaje pretvara u multidimenzionalne spektakle magijom svojih svetlosnih izuma i skalamerija. U svakoj prethodnoj prilici za saradnju sa njim, pored bojazni da će nam neki od njegovih lasera spržiti očne nerve, znali smo da će koncert podići na sledeći nivo. Od trenutka kada je pao dogovor za ovu kolaboraciju, nestrpljivo smo odbrojavali dane do momenta kada nas je Bob pozvao na premijernu projekciju. Oduvani i preplavljeni ekstatičnim osećajem, postalo nam je jasno zašto se zove Izvanredni, a preziva Bob."
 
Pesma "Novi noj" nastala je još 2017. godine i doživela nekoliko koncertnih inkarnacija kroz Nebojšin tadašnji solo projekat Homo Simpson, koji je za nastupe uživo uključivao uvek različite muzičare. Poslednje izvođenje pesme bilo je 2018. godine, u sastavu Nebojša, Gile i Steva, što se iz sadašnje perspektive može nazvati pretečom grupe Roza. 
 
Kada su počeli da se kuvaju planovi oko kompilacije "Nije se desilo", ova pesma se pojavila kao kuća siroče pored puta, nikad završena, nikad izmalterisana, bez vrata i prozora na spratu, koja moli da napokon dobije svoj finalni oblik. Baš u tom periodu je i oficir Nino (Ninoslav Filipović), nakon putešestvija svetskim okeanima, spustio svoja karantinom i testovima potvrđena kovid-negativna stopala na tlo srpske grude, i karte su se poklopile. Jedno veče pojavio se u Roza studiju s gomilom opreme za snimanje, kao mudri starac bez mora, i uterao tri sabljarke u mrežu. Da bi krug bio zatvoren, snimak je završio u Giletovim rukama koji je uradio miks kao zadnji sloj maltera i kreča, uz fine alabaster radove. 

******************************************************

The protagonist of this film is the robot Srećko (Lucky), who throws a party for his home appliance mates whilst his bosses are in self-isolation. All kinds of devices turn up, white goods, black goods, some record themselves with a microphone, others reset themselves, there’s smoke, and all. Soon after they talk him into going for a “plastic surgery”. This is where things start to go downhill. I can’t even tell you what happens in the end. Proper society of the debacle.

Some people are in constant fear of missing out, they think all the fun is somewhere else. Now imagine what it must be like for machines. In Srećko’s words, “If the end of the world is near, at least we can have some fun”. He’s right, too.

Bob says: “Roza’s live performances can be compared to a comet hitting the earth. The coma surrounding its core is made up of gasses and dust, so after the show the audience leaves comatose, gassed up in a cloud of dust feeling like they’ve just run the gauntlet.”

These underground ambassadors operate on a raster of rigorous rhythms courtesy of Dušan Damnjanović, a drummer with an iron nerve, Nebojša Kuzmanović’s bifurcated guitar parts and Stevan Ćirović’s magnitudinal bass lines, producing a sound epitomised by pulsations that make one’s eyebrows stand on end.

Filmed in Ljubljana, Ritopek and Palilula, edited in Zemun.

This single is a proper singularity which has happened, but has never come about. If you know what I mean.

Roza says: “All three of us know Bob as someone who has long since been turning various musical and non-musical events into multi-dimensional spectacles with the magic of his lighting contraptions. Every time we worked with him, in spite of the constant fear that one of his lasers might burn our ocular nerves, we knew he was going to take the concert to the next level. From the moment we agreed to do this collaboration we counted days till the moment Bob invited us to the premiere. Blown away and overwhelmed with feelings of ecstasy, we understood why his name was Bob and his surname Extraordinaire.”

The song Novi noj was written in 2017 and was played live a few times by Nebojša’s then solo project Homo Simpson which had a different line-up for every concert. It was last performed in 2018 by Nebojša, Gile and Steva, the line-up which, with hindsight, could be seen as the precursor of Roza.

When the plans for the Nije se desilo compilation started to brew, this song appeared like an orphaned roadside house, never finished and plastered, lacking doors and windows upstairs, begging for a final shape. It was in that period that deck officer Nino, following his many peregrinations across the oceans, put his tested, quarantined, COVID-free feet on Serbian turf, and the cards stacked in our favour. One evening he turned up at our studio with a pile of recording equipment, like an old man without the sea, and netted three marlins. To complete the circle, the recording found its way to Gile, who mixed it and applied a final layer of plaster and fine stucco work.

about

Roza Belgrade, Serbia

Roza moves across barren regions of afrobeat, jazz, post-punk, tropicalia, kraut rock and synth pop traversed a million times. Appalled by what they’ve found, they’ve created their own vision of a post-apocalyptic settlement which could house a new life, one that is more to their liking. ... more
