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:
maybe the best austrian band! trust us! why? because they are good! really good!
The Striggles, from Graz/Austria - all four members are well known for being lifetime musicians collaborating/collaborated in bands like Code Inconnu, Fetish69, Melville or Kajkut.
they definitely they witnessed the good old amrep or trance syndicate times (and hey, one of them was part of them). which means really good noise-rock influenced from artists like klaus nomi, kraftwerk or neu!.
most of their albums were released by our friends of noise appeal records.
