Hekate’s first ever performance was in the spring of the same year during an art exhibition at an advanced technical college in Koblenz. Soon there-after, a fusion of several stylistic elements into a symbiosis emerged from the strong naturalistic-folkloric relation of each band-member. The music is mainly based on the use of classical percussions like kettle drums, timpanis, snare- and bass drums and Chinese gongs combined with acoustic guitars and middle-aged instruments , e.g. hurdy gurdy. The musical background is completed by use of modern synthesizers. The lyrics are presented by alternating male and female singing in German, English and French- and other languages such as Latin, Yiddish or Middle-Age-German. Thematically lyrics are orientated towards the life of each individual „librettist“. |The use of an optical attracting stage equipment during a performance is of great importance as it should stimulate the different senses of the audience.
