Text by Bruce Elder Genesis P-Orridge (in spite of his religio-culinary name) is suffused with the kind of radiant, incandes- cent intelligence one doesn't usually associate with musicians. Genesis explains: "That was inspired by Rhodesian guerilla activity at the very beginning of the troubles when some black guerillas came to a white farm house and castrated the husband in front of his pregnant wife and then made him eat his own testicles and she had to sit and watch him bleeding to death. Genesis recalls, with ill-concealed ironic delight, that, "The actual agreed theme in advance was "The Corruption of Information by the Media' and also how they edit it to put across attitudes. userpages.umbc.edu /~vijay/TG/texts/text6.html   (2262 words)

Genesis and the author forged afnendship that dates back to 1971 and continued until Burroughs's death in August of last year. On "High," the second CD of the newest Pigface album, A New High in Low (Invisible Records), Genesis contributed vocals and lyrics to "The Howler" Parts 1 and 2, which measure 30 and 19 minutes, respectively. www.fopi.net /word/interviews/implosion.htm   (2600 words)

gpo-int.txt Genesis: I met a woman called Roberta Graham, who was also doing very intense private performance pieces, building strange contraptions that took the body to really deep thresholds of pain that would push people out of their bodies. Genesis: I was warned about that all the time by the people in the Museum of Magic in England. At the time of the raid, however, Genesis, his (now ex-)wife Alaura, and their two children, Carresse and Genesse, were off in Nepal, organizing soup kitchens and encountering Hindu and Buddhist holy men. www.chaosmatrix.org /library/chaos/topy/gpo-int.txt   (6504 words)

atrikel julie - konvertiert Genesis P-Orridge is pro-active in the development and exploration of personal disciplines and mechanisms for the purposes of holding back logical rationalism which might block access to creative states of altered perception. In interviews with Genesis P-Orridge, one of the recurring themes is concerned with his own childhood practice of creating and retreating into spaces, bunkers, going underground, and descending into the dark. Such a state described by Genesis P-Orridge can be likened to the episodes of archaic ecstasy which have been well documented by anthropologists such as Eliade. aka.ip-technik.net /rogue/archiv1/artikel_july.html   (2194 words)

disinformation disinformation: the interviews: annihilating reality (genesis p-orridge) "Genesis P-Orridge" is a complex person he once knew and he is now the curator of a life seen from the perspective of a sympathetic biographer. For 3 decades now, as a performance artist, as a prime mover behind both 'industrial culture' and the early 'rave' scene, and as the anti-Pope of his own magicko-religious order, The Temple ov Psychic Youth, P-Orridge has infuriated the powers that be with his deliberately provocative and innovative body of work and ideas. He sees himself, echoing Andy Warhol, as a "work of popular fiction." P-Orridge wishes to "dematerialise" his celebrity to see what it really describes, further re-inventing himself by abandoning his creation and donating the myth to the public who now shape it to conform with their own expectations. www.disinfo.com /archive/pages/article/id1246/pg1   (1086 words)

GPO: Somehow we’re going to weave her in and out of the movie, almost like a Greek chorus, wandering around with these gender-queer statements and lavender revolution and so on. GPO: I think that’s a really important point in terms of where I work with my art, because that’s really what I’m right down to now, is identity and real. www.montrealmirror.com /ARCHIVES/2003/022703/visualarts_cover.html   (2213 words)

genesis p orridge Genesis P-Orridge was the first U.K. citizen to be exiled in over 100 years, and since relocating, he has been concentrating more and more on exploring the combination of the spoken word and ambient/abstract music. These words could easily be used to describe the career of Genesis P-Orridge, currently in exile from his native England following a lifestyle attack by the British Establishment in 1991. Larry takes sounds and themes chosen and assembled collaboratively in the studio and amplifies, extends and explores live these textures and tonalities as Genesis in turn improvises and explores the connections of pre-agreed words and themes. www.invisiblerecords.com /bands/genesis   (482 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Psychic TV The band was formed by performance artist Genesis P-Orridge after his earlier industrial band, Throbbing Gristle, broke up in 1981. Since Genesis P-Orridge primarily wrote the lyrics instead of the music, he would assemble different groups of musicians together to create the music. GPO claimed initially that he was deported, although later admitted that he left England in "self imposed exile" after a video he had created caused the tabloid press to believe he took part in Satanic Ritual Abuse. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Psychic_TV   (900 words)

Prague - Articles - Art and Culture - Interview: Genesis P-Orridge Genesis P-Orridge has been a surreptitious fixture in popular society, most citizens completely unaware of his presence and effect upon contemporary music and art. The group was deemed "the wreckers of civilization" by Tory MP Nicholas Fairbairn, and, with dismay, Genesis P-Orridge's name was frequently brought up in Parliament. From now on Genesis P-Orridge shall be referred to (when using a pronoun) as s/he, as will Lady Jaye. prague.tv /articles/art-and-culture/genesis-p-orridge-interview   (626 words)

Psychic TV. However, the aims and actions of T.O.P.Y. were later to be misunderstood and misrepresented (in fact cumulating in the exile of Genesis P-Orridge from his native England following a life style attack by the British Establishment in 1991), and in 1991 T.O.P.Y. was officially stopped by the source and disbanded. T.O.P.Y. was intented to be a formless collective of ideas and individuals (with particular emphasis on the word "individual") with the intention of demystifying common "occult" thought and taboos, and the active deprogramming of inherited social/religious conditioning. The result: instanly memorable classics such as "Roman P.", "Godstar" and "Papal Breakdance." After the departure of Christoperson and Ferguson later, many people's opinion was that P.T.V. were heading downhill. www.angelfire.com /bc/bconn/ptv.html   (812 words)

Underground Music Review: Genesis P-Orridge - Z' EV Directions ov Travel    (Rock)      Anyone who follows the work of Genesis P-Orridge, or is interested in expanding their industrial music boundaries by taking a look at something different from much of the work out there today, will find this album an important part of their collection.

Genesis P-Orridge and Astrid Monroe - When I Was Young (Important) Genesis P-Orridge has one of thee great speaking voices, but on When I Was Young it is almost invariably vocoded and warped into a painful, slow drawl that simply disappoints. I guess this review is necessarily tainted by the fact that when Genesis P-Orridge actually was young, he participated in some of the most interesting and challenging releases of modern times. With “Possession” you at last get a developed lyric and a touch of the Genesis P-Orridge macabre with ye olde descending gothic semi-tones. www.fakejazz.com /reviews/2004/porridge.shtml   (435 words)

Paradigm Magazine - Genesis P-Orridge Interview Genesis P-Orridge: No. We've had two or three sent in, but we write back very politely and explain that that was an earlier project and incarnation, but now it's great if they're doing that and we're happy to send some information that facilitates some understanding in developing it more. Genesis P-Orridge: No. We're still going to share all the information and also we're always very happy to put people in touch with other organizations or assist them.

CD Review: Merzbow / Genesis P-Orridge A Perfect Pain Genesis P-Orridge and Masami Akita have 25+ years of experience apiece: Genesis with pioneering 70's industrial group Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Splinter Test and Thee Majesty; Masami as Merzbow, the foremost "noise" artist to date. Genesis calmly delivers hypnotic spoken pieces which are then folded within the noise of each track. It's a bit difficult to understand him at times audibly and literally, Genesis' rants being rather cryptic, but all of the words are thoughtfully included in the insert so you too can follow along and interpret for yourself. www.brainwashed.com /weddle/reviews/pain.html   (361 words)

Ink 19 :: Merzbow/Genesis P-Orridge Genesis P-Orridge is less apt to ramble here than in the past, one might even say that his lyrics are focused on this record.
