In his everyday life, Aki Henn (alright: Joachim Henn) works as a reciter and dramaturgist, and has a sophisticated interest in literature – HMMMMM! – particularly in that which seems written in between the lines – so, nothing earth-shattering in and of itself. However, when Captain Niederrhein comes calling to enlist his aid once again in the fight against ingenuousness, coarseness and lack of nuance – HUELP! – he pulls on his Hagenbuch cape with lightning-quickness and calls Supramallet Salome, Wizza Raissa and Camatta-Mondatta (together they form the legendary trio Toxodon – we must refrain from describing their individual superpowers in detail here for fear of blowing up the format – BANG! – suffice it to say they can all be traced back to lab accidents). In cases of extraordinary urgence he even sends an appeal via the most cutting-edge ShortMessagesServices to Speedy Turky, the wiliest trumpet player from Neukirchen-Vluyn to Hinsbeck, who naturally shows up toot-suite – TWEEEEP! Once assembled, the troupe can truly realise their full potential: Lower-Rhinish sound battens – made of spoken word and music – banishing all that is dim-witted, coarse and uncompassionate from the stupid here and now. Ditz Atrops blows the trumpet at full blast, Frida-on-Earth generates radical power-chord feedback, Hedwig (Marianne, actually) weaves idiophonic rugs of late and the circular-breathing drummer who goes by a single name (like Madonna) thrashes anything within arm's reach in the most complicated way imaginable. At least that is what Hagenbuch admitted, who also admitted that his friend Aki admitted that he sings with these mad individuals every now and then too…
Right at this moment, an elderly man calls across from aboard a white paddleboat floating on the Moersbach creek:
"A question for five:
And what comes last?
Stupid question
Humanity, of course!"
