GOD 13
Slobodan Kajkut
Sick Nature/City of Bore
LP
For
Slobodan Kajkut there was always and intention to write a piece for
hardcore/trash/speed/reaction duet Heifetz.
Fascinated
not only with their variety of different musical styles, that are part of their
musical language, but also with their ability to perform with extreme level of passion and
variation of sarcasm and severity, Kajkut wrote a piece that musically and
physically tests their patience.
Somehow,
the piece titled City of Bore (named by Heifetz), illustrates the character of
the piece. Literally, there is nothing happening, the piece is a half an hour
of emptiness, filled with periodical points. There is nothing new in the piece
itself, many artists, such as Taku Sugimoto and many others, wrote thousands of
such pieces, but in this case, interesting is to hear how Heifetz perform such
music, always on the border to explode, though with ability to abstain.
On the
other side, Sick Nature (played by Maggot, duet formed to perform this
particularly piece), also explores punctuality but in a rhythmical way, and with
slightly extended instrumentation.
Each
single note of the piece is performed with almost mechanical precision, which
make the piece extremely cold. Various percussion and dynamic extremes from
very silent, to extremely loud, make a great correspondence to boredom of City
of Bore.

This is
the music where Nothing makes sense…
