Swiss german is a spoken language (dialect), not written.
The content here is something like this: "the well tempered bass tuba is the most important instrument in punk rock. It remains silent, holds itself back, observes and plans. Because it wants radical evil." Its from a text by Dietmar Dath ("100 facts I learned about music the hard way"). english translation attempts are mine, the text is in german.

hammerklavier: yes swiss german is different. It's a heavily distorted version of german, i.e. a dialect. The accent here is from the Berne region.
Bram: I'm afraid you can't find the text on the internet. It's from a book called "Taktlos Musiklesebuch" which was done for the last edition of a fine music festival called "Taktlos" here in Switzerland.
