“Om Kult : Ritual Practice of Conscious Dying – Vol I-III”
"Om Kult 1-3 - the complete Om Kult 3CD triptych, recorded and processed at Om Kult Osaka between 2016 and 2018. Evolving from his extended “Brainnectar” studies on psycho-spiritual cleansing rituals derived from various shamanic and yogatantric traditions - and his examinations of aural hallucinations and paranormal perceptions - Eb.er focuses now on the occult knowledge and techniques for the transition from life to death, on the ejecting mind as well as on the decomposing human body.Field recordings of Japanese forests, creeks and waterfalls, haystacks and dirt piles, maggots and flies feeding on carcasses, monks chanting and obscured voices from occult activities meet complex structures of seemingly minimalist sine wave and noise compounds, moldy tape hiss, rattling and drumming at absurd covens, digging in dirt and scraping on wood, decaying drones, abrupt bewildering noises and blackmetalesque grunts. And the mind leaks into non-dual awareness."

“Brainnectar”
Brainnectar is Eb.er’s most developed program to date, combining psychodynamic audio-environments built from specific nature-sounds and extreme acoustics, often including ecstatic elements on instruments of shamanic origin. Binaural beats as well as isochronic tones stimulate a direct neural reaction to this unique and unheard audio-art. In addition, the grand lady of japanese extreme music - screamvocalist Junko Hiroshige (Hijokaidan) - participates on several tracks throughout this 2 CD package. The title Brainnectar is derived from tantric techniques raising psycho-physical energy, or inner fire, from the perineum up to the top of the brain, from where it drips (as nectar). This consciousness-expanding heating and dripping during creation and/or reception of Brainnectar is given priority over any musical aesthetics.

“Homo animalis”
A landmark release in dp’s discography and the first release on the new Schimpfluch Associates label. Dave Phillips, *1969, living and working in Zürich Switzerland, has been a purveyor of radical sound since the mid 80's as a
founding member of the influential Fear of God. In 1991 he met rudolf eb.er and has been part of the schimpfluch-gruppe since. working solo since 1987, dp has appeared on 150+ releases and has played around 400 concerts in 40 countries.
schimpfluch associates is a label founded in 2013 by dave phillips (zürich) and rudolf eb.er (osaka). its focus is on works of reference by sound artists associated with schimpfluch.
homo animalis collects some of dp’s most accomplished work to date. composed between 2009 and 2011 (with two from 2007). these pieces originally appeared on limited edition cassettes in russia, poland and the US. in the winter of 2012 they were reworked and conceived as an album. this album is no compilation but describes a phase in dp’s life and work marked by incisive personal experiences formed into sound. an intensification of the compositional approach and the increased use of classical elements are two noticable sonic aspects. begun on “?”, “homo animalis” takes a turn for the more sinister and satirical and contains the quintessence of this phase. the inclusion of an elaboration on humanimalism adds to the significance of this album. dp’s humanimalism is a concept worded here for the first time. it describes a developed humanoid existence that has overcome the erroneous religious and material phases and has grown into an empathic creature that has made a clear shift towards an emotion-based existence, with social and environmental senses as primary and inherent functions.
