Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock / Schimpfluch Gruppe - Mama (Das Fest) LP
Released by Schimpfluch, Switzerland 1993
Amidst the monotony of life and lack of experiential living, there are few individuals who take simple concepts like "the senses" to new heights, or at least to places where you might not otherwise traverse. One such example is Rudolf Eb.er. Protagonist of the legendary Schimpfluch Gruppe/Commune and master of the absurd, he has created considerable challenging and sometimes downright confusing works over the decades. Eb.er's early sonic compositions were comprised of uncomfortable periods of silence, exemplifying short sharp grunts, growls, or barks, making the listener focus on the act of listening itself. This minimalist approach has evolved to levels of complex and disturbing proportions, utilizing unnerving cries of anguish juxtaposed with maniacal laughter as sound sources that build into an aural insanity. Meanwhile, the performances of Rudolf's Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock are certainly a thing of mythos. From repeated relentless head-banging into bowls of spaghetti while contact mic'd, to shotgun blasts into an unsuspecting audience, to the vexing vomit chorus, to the amplification of dead fish, it comes as no surprise that Eb.er (and cohorts Joke Lanz and Dave Phillips) are constantly compared to the Viennese Aktionist scene as well as the Fluxus and Absurdist movements.
