HANAN HADŽAJLIĆ
Hadžajlić sees extended techniques as another possibility, an additional way to produce the desired sound that fits into the overall sound picture, not like a significant poetic breakthrough with an avant-garde undertone.

Schmetterling… a carpet of beats and distorted chants (“Ich bin Harlequin / aus der Welt der Farben”), into which the bassoon weaves a line of almost mumbled comments. You might have to hear it twice.

Capcarap is musically brilliant, so the immediate question is who is behind Cunami? It’s clear that some local beatmaker couldn’t put the music on this level, and the answer is really unexpected.

The composer’s temperament is torn between the academic framework, as an “island” that exists surrounded by an ocean of different currents (folk, but in the case of the contemporary moment – more dominant popular culture). Through education and (composer/performer/life) experience, the composer has long since mastered the formulas and principles of both (apparently or really?) polarized points; sometimes it establishes a firm distinction, and sometimes it (un)consciously permeates them; in this case, through its recognizable complex construction and authentic elaboration of (in)combinable idioms, it demystifies them, concluding that it is all (just) “raw material” that, depending on skill and vision, remains “(un)refined”, having potential to become the “nucleus” of a new The Rite of Spring at any moment.
