 Twenty-five years ago today, Radio Werewolf ceremonially concluded its seven year sonic-magic cycle with The Zürich Experiment, held at the historic Kaufleuten concert hall, Zurich, Switzerland at Midnight, December 30, 1991. The live track in this post is from that event, digitally remastered in 2012, for The Vinyl Solution - Analog Artifacts: Ritual Instrumentals and Undercover Versions. Video collage by Tony Sokol. Text to "Prologue: Turn Off, Tune In, Drop Out" : [Voice: Master of Ceremonies Wolfgang] Willkommen beim Zürich Experiment. Sie sind hier zusammengerufen worden, um an einem historischen Experiment in akustischer Magie teilzunehmen. Während der nächsten Minuten wird Ihr Verstand von vielen Jahren Programmierung, Fehlinformationen und gesellschaftlicher Kontrollmechanismen gesäubert und befreit werden. Heute nacht haben Sie aus freiem Willen eine andere Dimension des Denkens betreten. Am Ende des Experiments werden Sie nicht mehr dieselbe Person sein wie bei Ihrer Ankunft an diesem Ort. Dankeschön. English translation: Welcome to the Zurich experiment. You have been summoned here to participate in a historic experiment in acoustic magic. During the next few minutes, your minds will be cleansed and freed from many years of programming, misinformation and social control mechanisms. Tonight you have voluntarily entered another dimension of thought. At the end of the experiment, you will not be the same person as you were when you arrived at this location. Thank you. [Voice: Alpha She-Wolf Zeena] Good Evening. You've tuned into Radio Werewolf, the Voice of Terror, broadcasting at a frequency of 666 megahertz.

"On this darkest night of the year, may all survivors of war and violence be blessed with strength, perseverance, peace and an end to suffering. May we take a moment of silent contemplation, during our Yuletide festivities, to honor those who have perished as the result of war and mindless violence." -Zeena Schreck, Winter Solstice 2016 Photo of Gen. George S. Patton's dog, Willie, mourning Patton's death. "How awful war is. Think of the waste." -Gen. Patton, moments before the car collision in Heidelburg, Germany that ended his life on Dec. 21, 1945.  |
