"Since my piece Terrible Fake (GODREC 033LP, 2015) and especially Darkroom (GODREC 047LP, 2017), I've been trying to integrate some grooves into classical contemporary idiom. Since those experiments were mostly for smaller setups, this time I wanted to transfer it into the larger one in order to get more possibilities to work with different textures and coloring within harmonic structures of clusters and chromatic movements of melodies. Constant transformation and mutation of musical material makes the sound movable and the whole piece is morphing throughout. The sound of the whole ensemble is filtered through delay effect, which offered additional, almost psychedelic tension to the whole piece, even with some microtonal incidents. The division of the piece into 'Element A' and 'B' is actually a concept of two-sided vinyl and the two parts with almost same duration, are one of the concepts of the whole piece." --Slobodan Kajkut

GODREC 033LP
|
2015 release. Slobodan Kajkut presents Terrible Fake. Terrible Fake explores rhythmic relationships between drums and piano in context of the somewhat crippled art of trip-hop. It is mostly based on irregular beats in order to create a kind of fragmented groove. Different characters are also emphasized through mostly chromatic movements of piano in different registers, producing either undefined tonal system or droning wall of sound. "Terrible Dub" is nevertheless a "dub" version of the piece which minimizes "Terrible Fake" to its fundamentals regarding time and pitch, where both parameters are stretched. Slow movement based on the core of dub music itself, which are bass and drums. Slobodan Kajkut - composition; Anton Polk - Piano; Istok Klemen - Drums, Drum Computer.

GODREC 013LP

2013 release. Slobodan Kajkut presents Sick Nature/City of Bore. "Sick Nature" (played by Maggot, duet formed to perform this particularly piece), explores punctuality in a rhythmical way. Each note of the piece is performed with almost mechanical precision, which makes 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". For Slobodan Kajkut, there was always an 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 an 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, have written thousands of such pieces, but in this case, it is interesting to hear how Heifetz perform such music, always on the border to explode, though with the ability to abstain. This is music where nothing makes sense. Slobodan Kajkut - composition; Heifetz: Arne Glöckner - guitar; Patrick Wurzwallner - drums; Maggot: Gottfried Krienzer - guitar; Martin Pfeiffer - percussion.
