"The beginnings of the Might of Coincidence are obscure. It all started around 1969-70. Ricco Anselmi, singer and guitarist (later famous in Zurich with Trio Grande, Ragazzi and Dschané) and Manfred Eyssel, percussionist, worked in the same company in Zurich. They started playing music together. Freddy Kessler soon joined in with his clarinets. Including the impressive bass clarinet. (made famous by Eric Dolphy).

Somehow they came into contact with Athos Carlo Barata, ACB for short, poet, painter and “future philosopher,” as he called himself. He provided the lyrics to the songs. The group called themselves “Might of Coincidence” for short Might of Coincidence because, according to quantum physics, everything in the world is based on coincidence.

At that time I wasn't there as a bass player yet. Freddy Kessler knew me from Uster, where there was a lively music scene at the time. He asked me if I wanted to take part in the project. I said yes immediately. We rehearsed in Zurich in the basement of the Krokodil restaurant on Langstrasse. Soon we were ready to take our first recordings. The singer Mimina Panata also joined the recordings.

The recordings were first made in the Braun recording studio in Zurich, with engineer Stephan Sulke. Sulke then set up a studio in Biel, where the remaining recordings were made in 1971. ACB acted as producer.

This was made into an LP called “The Birth of Might of Coincidence”. ACB released the LP under a fictitious label called Entropia1), which didn't exist. The name appears on the cover of the LP. The LP is the only trace left of the Might of Coincidence. When Ricco Anselmi left in the spring of 1972, the band was dissolved. Ricco's voice and charisma were simply irreplaceable!

The tapes with the remaining recordings remained missing until Mauro Bozzi resurfaced them. Jürg Schopper then started the project for a new LP Spectrum of Life of Might of Coincidence available in April 2024.

Unfortunately, apart from me, the “Last Survivor”, all members of the Might of Coincidence are already in Nirvana, except perhaps Mimina, who I haven’t heard from anymore. Therefore, further information about the band can no longer be found.
