Synesthesia: Genesis P-Orridge Tony Oursler



NOTES

Synesthesia: Genesis P-Orridge
Tony Oursler
1997-2001, 90:29 min, color, sound

Tony Oursler's Synesthesia project features interviews with twelve legendary figures in the downtown music, performance and art scenes: John Cale, Thurston Moore, Dan Graham, Genesis P-Orridge, Kim Gordon, Glenn Branca, Laurie Anderson, Tony Conrad, David Byrne, Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, and Arto Lindsay. These works were originally included as one element of Oursler and Mike Kelley's multimedia installation The Poetics Project. These conversations reveal fascinating insights and anecdotes from some of the most influential figures in the experimental rock and art underground of the 1970s and '80s, from pre-punk innovators to post-punk icons, from industrial and avant-garde music to noise bands and No Wave.

Genesis P-Orridge, performance artist and vocalist for the iconoclastic English industrial band Throbbing Gristle in the late 1970s, pioneered industrial music. P-Orridge, who went on to form the experimental band Psychic TV, continues to work in music, art, and performance in New York, and is undertaking a long-term "Pandrogeny" project involving a radical identity transformation.

Produced by Tony Oursler. Questions: Tony Oursler, Mike Kelley, David West, Linda Post. Camera: Linda Post, Tony Oursler. Editing: Tony Oursler, Elizabeth Kading

André Pissoir (the sass)


'no need to be seeing

but touching the untouchable makes it worth screaming

which is releasing silence of truth...'

Don Vague

the door again will create the sound

of my soul profound bark as the hound

i came around, round me I and I is dizzy

also a missy sometimes pissy

why not

i am thin as lizzy

rather skinny i can‘t eat

it all smells like some rotten feet

smiles all across miles and more will follow

disgusting the sky as my eye sees none


can‘t sing anymore it‘s all so plain my restless pain

constrain fame is my brain so lame as encoders

will force as i get older some i heard dry out colder¬


Jean Table


Waiting is not seeing-

See what there is and wait!

phunderella at the door piping gates


when hunting threshold beyond the minuets obsession
being cumphered by deliq(&)uite somemorawn samowar blistered tongues
passing your special time, -
it's just about to tenfold vomit disguise surrounding your navel control
as one may struggled once, it's particularly a tremendous effort to submit
wormholes beyond a silk dress worn at sideways vanishing self!

André Pissoir On The 'Son Of Doing' & The Last Prestige


'it's not depending on prestige through expressing the matter,
it's the matter of expressing the prestige that we share through act life
and not conserving the prestige as product of compiling
a reservoir which will run dry.'

-André Pissoir On The 'Son Of Doing' & The Last Prestige
