Aleksander Kolkowski - Violin. Kurt König - Percussion. Annette Krebs - Guitar. Inge Morgenroth - Tenor Saxophone. Natalia Pschenitschnikowa - Flutes. Helles Weber - Accordion).

“Exercise” indicates relatively shorter pieces in which the process of work, of practicing and of trying things out within specified limits, in short a kind of discipline in process, are being attempted. I regard them as both exercises in composing and for performers, especially as the performers function as members of an ensemble.” Christian Wolff

Sloboda KAJKUT
“Sick Nature – City of Bore”
Slobodan Kajkut, composition. Heifetz (Arne Glöckner, guitar. Patrick Wurzwallner, drums. Maggot (Gottfried Krienzer, guitar. Martin Pfeiffer, percussion).
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 percussions 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

Slobodan KAJKUT
“The Art of Living Dies”
Lack of musical material, minimalism but not for it’s purposes, patterns shifting in themselves... The piece is performed by Michael Moser, a cult figure in Austrian new music, whose work includes significant collaborations with bands like Polwechsel and Zeitkratzer and artist such as Bernhard Lang, Peter Ablinger, Fennesz, David Sylvian (Manafon)… Very slow, extremely static, the piece drives into one direction, without specific target but also without tendency to be contemplative. As with some previous pieces (check out GOD 13) its goal is the pure sense of nothingness…

Philip JECK
“Vinyl Coda III-IV”
‘In his hands, a tool as simple as a hammer that blocks the arm of the record
player creates a loop with a taste of eternity. Two or three such hammers can create musical galaxies far beyond the reach of traditional instruments, where no human ear has ever been before. From unidentifiable rumble and grinding to brilliant instrument-snippets and comical voice fragments, Philip Jeck glues sounds together as if they where never meant to exist on their own. Whether it be Pachelbel's Canon or some mid-90s dance music that's on Philip’s vinyl, but what we hear in the Vinyl Coda is his very unique musical voice – articulated with a perfect sense for structure, suspense and sound.” dieb13

Philip JECK
“Vinyl Coda I-II”
Philip Jeck works as composer, multimedia artist, choreographer... but above all, he is most well known as turntable manipulator. At the end of 90s, he produced something which later would be accepted as cult piece - his four part masterpiece Vinyl Coda. It is probably his most important work and peak of his art: it defines not only his musical language, but also the entire turntable culture, as well as deconstruction of vinyl. The work is nothing less than powerful low-fi symphony, which through magical looping allows us to hear to things we otherwise wouldn’t...
