discovery



the compromise is not possible

is the title of an hour-long composition written for female voice, drums, electric guitar and organ by Slobodan Kajkut, an independent contemporary composer from Serbia. It premiered in 2005 in Graz as a commissioned piece for "Hörfest", a festival for contemporary music.

Written to be performed at churches only, it is a combination of traditional contemporary composition techniques with Rock and Heavy Metal: Harmonies, rythmic changes and silence meets distorted guitars, feedback orgies and drums inspired by Speed and Death Metal.
Three years after its premiere at St. Andrä Church in Graz, it was reperfomed by the same musicians at the same location and recorded and released as a double LP by the austrian independent label Wire Globe Recordings.

For all of you, who wonder who Slobodan is: "The Striggles" - rings a bell? he's part of them, among other bands like "Jubbooko sa Negrass", "Mizar" and "Betty Blue".

On november 4th 2009 "the compromise is not possible" will be performed at the parish church (Stadtpfarrkirche) of Linz at 20:30.

line-up:
Robert Lepenik - guitar
Christine Scherzer - voice
Hannes Kerschbaumer - organ
Wolfgang Eichinger - drums

biography:
QUETZAL from antwerp (belgium) started in 1998 with their debut and masterpiece 'the messenger lies bleeding' on CONSPIRACY records, toured europe a lot and finally - 3 years later - in 2001 they deliver their 2nd and last album 'dead end tracks' before they finally split in 2003.
named after a rare bird spezies from guatemala, a bird that will die in captivity - pronounced: ´k´ets´al. it's hard to describe their sound or even try to categorize them - screamo? maybe. but obivously influenced by bands like fugazi - song-oriented, fast forward ...hardcore (?)
whatever, maybe that's one of the reasons why QUETZAL was an interesting band for us then, the impossibility to categorise them. and our interest leaded to our collaboration with CONSPIRACY/QUETZAL and to severeal great tours and show, loads of fun and friends in belgium.
most of the members of QUETZAL play in IN-KATA now.
