Aquí va el video de una entrevista muy completa e interesante a Genesis Breyer P. Orridge que nos hemos cruzado por la red. Fue realizada el pasado año y es util para conocer de primera mano la trayectoria y opiniones de este agitador de gran influencia musical, artística y (contra)cultural. Recientemente nos enteramos de que en octubre (unos meses después de esta entrevista) falleció repentínamente su compañera Lady Breyer P. Orridge, a la que estaba unido desde hace casi quince años, también en su banda Psychic TV/PTV3 y en el innovador proyecto de pandrogenia Breaking Sex que iniciaron hace tiempo.

[VIDEO: GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE: The MetalKult Interview]

MetalKult had the distinct pleasure to interview one of the most influential experimental musicians of the past 30 years, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.

As a founding member of Seventies avant-garde acts Coum Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle, the English-born Genesis effectively laid the groundwork for what would become industrial music. (Quite literally, as Throbbing Gristle reportedly coined the term when they formed their Industrial Records label.) Make no mistake, without Gen there would be no Nine Inch Nails, Ministry or Marilyn Manson.

In the Eighties, Genesis founded “hyperdelic acid house” group Psychic TV, with whom he went on to explore psychedelic head music and occult spirituality (the roots of which stretch back to Genesis’ childhood and his grandmother who was a medium). Psychic TV’s latest record, Hell Is Invisible…Heaven Is Her/e was released this past June on Sweet Nothing records.

Over the years, Genesis’ creative orbit has crossed the paths of many influential artists, including beat writers William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin, psychedelic guru Dr. Timothy Leary, industrial supergroup Pigface and Japanese noise band Merzbow.

In our comprehensive seven-part interview, hear Genesis talk about a range of topics, including his early years in Throbbing Gristle, his exile from Britain, his tragic accident at Rick Rubin’s studio and much more
