liner notes excerpt: "the custom of "chlauseslä" and the activities of the packs called "chlausrotten" in the valley of ägeri (in the canton of zug, central switzerland) can be verifiably traced back to the 16th century, though the roots of it reach back as far as the 4th century.

after dark, the "rotten", packs from different parts of the village, equipped with cowbells ("treicheln", carried on a yoke across the shoulders) and whips move through the village, from house to house. originally this noise tradition was meant to scare away ghosts and keep the house and court clean of evil figures..."

Dave Phillips 150922

sound as communication in direct and primal form, a language, a tool of metaphysics, a conscience, a consciousness. works that oppose the omnipresent restriction and reduction of life, to activate primordial shared emotions otherwise hidden under the debris of this crumbling civilisation. inviting rumination, encouraging intervention, endorsing catharsis & environmental e/quality, touching sentience, cleansing. audio de/construction, psycho-acoustics, sound rituals, sonic activism, humanimalism; ritual protest music to heal homo sapiens out of its infancy.

solo works since 1987. 
part of SCHIMPFLUCH-GRUPPE (with Rudolf Eb.er, Joke Lanz, Marc Zeier, Daniel Löwenbrück etc.) since 1991.

projects present and past include OHNE, dead peni, perverts in white shirts, PK, ketsu no ana, fear of god & more;  collaborations with G*Park, Francisco Meirino, Randy Yau, Hiroshi Hasegawa, GX Jupitter-Larsen, Chris Galarreta, Masonna & more; ScHimpfluch Associates label with Rudolf Eb.er etc blablabla
