Since its foundation in Zürich 1987, Rudolf Eb.er's Schimpfluch-Gruppe has become the epitome of radical outsider art in many respects. Appearing in varying lineups over the years, including several guest artists alongside the core-members (Eb.er, Lanz, Phillips, Zeier, Löwenbrück), the Schimpfluch-Gruppe has been forging a bridge from stirring audio and visual works to disturbing and highly challenging live performances ever since.
This cassette documents a live action by Rudolf Eb.er and Dave Phillips, held in Tokyo 2012 on side A. The flipside contains the beforehand recorded sounds for said performance. One channel per artist, produced independently of each other, Phillips left, Eb.er right.
