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

MUTE AUDIO two times four pieces of eighttrack macadams

MUTE AUDIO is the experimental solo project of claus harringer (playing the drums for linz' indie-rockers VALINA) - laid back electronics with interspersed guitar, bass and drums. this tape is the debut and only release by MUTE AUDIO and was recorded at his living room except for some parts that have been done at valina´s rehearsal room and two tracks that have been entirely recorded at brachial studios. mute audio played one (and only one!) amazing live show with visuals in A-LINZ at cafe strom before claus left for studying in hannover - MUTE AUDIO is currently on hiatus, maybe already fuckin' dead...?
