SCH (3)

SCH (an abbreviation for "Schizophrenia") is the musical and artistic project and band led by Senad Hadžimusić, who is better known by his nickname Teno. Formed in 1983 in Sarajevo, the band has had an intensive creative and live existence. SCH represents one of the most significant names in the field of alternative rock music in the former Yugoslavia. SCH's music was radically unconventional and experimental with constant changes in its style and form. In its earliest phase (1983–1984), SCH's music was mixture of new wave, punk and psychedelia. SCH's second phase began in early 1985, continuing from an emphasis on recording and performance to a study of war, which became a theme prior to and throughout the Yugoslav wars. This period (1985–1991) was characterized by radicalization of the band's sound and its shifting from post-new wave into harsh noise and industrial. SCH continued to perform and record during the Siege of Sarajevo (1992–1995), but disbanded for several years thereafter, following a 1995 performance in Prague. Album "Vril" (2002) marked a new and still actual phase in the band's development, in which electronic instrumentation and sampling have largely replaced its former, "classic" line-up of guitar, bass and drums. SCH's music has also been featured in a number of films and radio programs, as well as in the theater. Besides Teno, past band members included: Branko Đurić, Saša Petrović, Elmir Imamović Elči, Slobodan Aličehajić Bodo, Miomirka Mila Mikanović, Samir Bjelanović, Goran Obradović Granon, Azra Inajetović, Dijana Kapidžić, Nenad Kosović, Armin Bezdrob, Hisham Kastally, Petar Erak, Rida Attarashany, Zlatan Hadžić, Sveto Ignjatović, Danijel Prebanić, Armin Bušatlić, Damir Avdić Graha, and other occassional and short-term members. As of 2007, SCH live sets consisted of Senad Hadžimusić Teno on vocals/guitars/synths, Rida Attarashany on synths/rhythm machine, and Azra Inajetović Pallas on vocals/synths.
