Equipped with the mysterious gift of the basilisks, Golden Witch and Speedharper suspend the laws of surface tension and oxygen supply to the brain, enabling them in this expanded state of consciousness – SWOOOP! – to recognise when inconsistent improvisational passages are sneaking up on them, whether it‘s worn reeds approaching from below, out-of-tune guitars from behind or right-wing snakes from above. In this manner, Golden Witch (in real life, mild-mannered Virginia Genta, a wandering rogue from Italy‘s Po delta who‘s hiding out in Moers for a year, disguised as something called a „CITY MUSICIAN“) recently managed, alongside her soulmate superhero Speedharper (who sews fi ne bed linen in New Jersey as a part-time hermit known as Bill Nace) to sniff out a secret meeting in Potsdam, where they made Martin Sellner, the notorious Austrian Nazi snake that was just about to rappel down his toxic word-line, come crashing down into the cold wetness of the Moersbach. SPLISHSPLASH! – Right into the duck droppings. How astonishing indeed! Inexplicable leaps through time and space? „The only things, all alone, as Hagenbuch literally said, which are alone capable of explaining everything are error and music alone.“, Captain Niederrhein remarked upon catching this feat. Ever since he has been eagerly awaiting the joint performance of these two humble heroes. NOTHING MIND-BLOWING basically… but perhaps just once we could get to be swearwitnesses when breathless gilded distortion-reed clusters meet bagpipe-like monophonic Taishōgoto cascades that truly blow this fascist shit around us straight to kingdom come with no stops in between? THEMROC!
