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…
