UPDATE: 3/21/10
here are the curent stats for the funding of the film...ALMOST THERE! Lets make this happen!

here is a message from genesis from the comments section of this post !

Dearest Friends,What a WONDER-FULL surprise! We decided recently to use google alerts as we so often get told of interesting postings too late to see them. That is how we found your pages. We felt we should write and say you are doing a marvellous job. So generous and loving. A NEW WAY ON. Marie's film was central to Lady Jaye's hopes for a future. S/he told me many times that all s/he wanted for her SELF was to be remembered as "...one of the great love affairs.." Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. So we also write to encourage you all to pledge at least $5 each to Marie Losier's film. Lady Jaye believed only Marie could make the right movie of our lives and ideas. What WE have already seen is absolutely amazing. Marie needs all of you to assist her now to edit and finish her movie. It will be the first of a new kind of documentary a mixture of Fellini, Anger,Godard and more. PLEASE for Marie, for my "Other Half" Lady Jaye send donations to Marie Losier at Kickstarter. You will be thrilled with what that will enable us all to see. cari saluti, GENESIS





here is the trailer !

The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye - Trailer from Marie Losier on Vimeo.



message from marie losier at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marielosier/ballad-of-genesis-and-lady-jaye

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge has been a key figure of the underground music scene for over 30 years. A cult artist in prepunk and post-punk groups Throbbing Gristle (1975 to 1981) and Psychic TV (1981 to present), he is considered to be the father of industrial music and a pioneer of acid house and techno. Not content with breaking new ground in music, Genesis has also used his position at the limits of society to challenge the very fundamentals of biology. In 1993, Genesis underwent surgery to alter his gender to more closely resemble his love Lady Jaye, born Jacqueline Breyer, his wife and artistic partner for close to 15 years. The project ‘Creating the Pandrogyne’, is an attempt to deconstruct two individual identities through the creation of an indivisible third. Tragically, Lady Jaye passed away in 2007, leaving Genesis devastated, though resilient. Since then, s/he has ceaselessly sought after the physical ideal: a perfect mirroring of Lady Jaye’s unique beauty.


This film is about a transformation, a very unusual love story, addressing issues of identity, gender politics and artistic commitment. Through a labyrinthine mise-en-scène of interviews, home movies and performance footage, I hope to tell the story of what I believe to be a truly new kind of Romantic Consciousness, one in defiance of the daily dehumanization of the body by the pervasive presence of advertising and pornography, my attempt to convey beauty, dignity and devotion from a perspective most people will have never seen before on film.

A kaleidoscopic collection of moving surfaces, composed of interviews (Orlan, Peaches, Peter Christopherson, Gibby Haynes), role plays, concerts and his day to day life, comes together to paint a multi-faceted profile of this pioneer of industrial music and in doing so, exposes the abundant yet inherently elusive nature of his creativity.


CURRENT SITUATION OF THE PROJECT:

I have been filming Genesis for the past four years, and I'm about to begin editing the film. My goal is to finish by the end of 2010 and premiere at a major film festival in 2011. The work in progress of the film has been presented in 2009 at The Centre George Pompidou in April to open “Hors Pistes”, as well as at the Cinemathèque Francaise in Paris this past September.


The film is almost entirely self produced over the past 4 years. At this point in the project, I need to secure as much support as possible in order to complete the feature by the end of the year.


WHAT IS NEEDED FOR COMPLETION:

1) Co-Editor - I not only shot all of the footage for the film, but I'm also editing. Due to the large amount of footage I've acquired, I need the help of second pair of eyes, ears, and hands, not to mention an additional brain to help put together my first feature.

2) Sound Engineering - Music is a crucial component of this project and I need funds to hire a sound technician to master the sound.

3) Transfer - Most of the footage is shot on both 16 mm & HD (for sync sound & interviews). The final cut will be in HD, and thus I have to transfer some of the 16 mm to digital format for the final print.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Although I am asking for $4000, it's only part of what is needed to complete the project. Whether you can help by making a pledge or not, please spread the word about this campaign, I am endlessly grateful for your help and support.

I hope you will enjoy some of the rewards I have made and worked on with Genesis, Tony Conrad and many dear friends.

A work in progress!

TOPY 001
Unclean / Mirrors
1984-Temple Records 12"

Temple mailorder list no.3 called this: "PTV’s homage to the dominant culture of the last 2000 years and the greek nightwork which became its scripture"

B-Side ("Mirrors") is from a soundtrack to a film by Derek Jarman.

TOPY 002 "NY SCUM" Psychic TV

recorded live at The Danceteria, New York 19 November 1983.
limited edition of 5000

John Gosling,
P. Christopherson,

G Rushton,

Alex Fergusson,
Paula and Genesis P-Orridge

Tracks :
1. N.Y. Scum

Reissued on CD as "Thee City Ov New York/Thee City Ov Tokyo"

TOPY 003 "A PAGAN DAY"
Picture disc limited edition of 999
This recording was released by Temple Records (TOPY 003) on thee 24rd December 1984 as a Picture Disc Limited Edition ov 999 copies. The cover was a full colour photograph ov Caresse P-Orridge . It was only available to shops and distributors between 11am and 12am on that actual day! Rough Trade co-ordinated this through their telex lines for us. All thee music was recorded on a 4 Track Cassette machine under thee guidance of Alex Fergusson, thee original co-founder and partner, with Genesis P-Orridge, ov Psychic TV. "Pagan Day" was subtitled "Pages From A Notebook" because that is precisely what it was. Thee revealing ov thee process itself. Most PTV songs in their earliest era began life as these kinds ov cassette sketches often recorded in Alex's room at thee YMCA over coffee. "Pagan Day" is not therefore a "finished" recording in thee commonly accepted sense, it is an intimate glimpse into a place where "Source Are Rare". However, thee simplicity and privacy of it's evolution onto a record makes it appealing in quite a special way. Some songs were never intended to be heard outside our own living rooms but to conceal thee frailties would we felt, compromise thee integrity and honesty ov this chronicle.

The original 1984 picture disc release had the scratched message "Just Like Arcadia".

reissues:
Due to popular interest, and extremely high "collector" prices being paid for thee original Picture Disc, "Pagan Day" was re-issued on normal vinyl, in a card sleeve as part ov Temple Records Library Series (TOPY 017) with one extra song, as a matter ov completeness, and as a matter ov fact.

Re-issued on CD with a third cover 26 April 1994 by Cleopatra Records in the USA CLEO 9469

Tracks :
1. Cadaques
2. We Kiss
3. Opium
4. Cold Steel
5. L.A.
6. Iceland

7. Translucent Carriages

8. Paris
9. Baby's Gone Away
10. Alice
11. New Sexuality


Mark Weddle´s CD reviews

"The "album" is comprised of rough sketches done at home on a 4 track machine. About half of the songs are instrumental meanderings, the other half feature Genesis' quiet vocals. Basically, the album is just GPO and Alex putting down ideas on tape with guitar, bass, drum machines, keyboards/samplers and vocals. A few of the songs ("We Kiss", "Baby's Gone Away", "New Sexuality") can also be found in more completed forms on "Allegory & Self". The final song ("pirates" on Cleo CD release only) is a bonus track that's a bit out of place ... it's a 20 + minute piece featuring William S. Burroughs spoken samples. All in all, an interesting look into the creative minds of PTV. "

TOPY 004 "THEMES 2"1985


3 unnamed tracks

The two tracks on side one were entitled "Scriabinisms" and "Ellipse Ov Flowers" on "Splinter Test A", where the second was reissued and the first was remixed. "Scriabinisms" is so named for the tape loop of orchestral music written by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin used prominently in the piece.

The words used on side two of the record are from a language called "Enochian" which was transmitted to the Elizabethean Magus and Mathematician John Dee through his scryer Edward Kelly. They are the last two words of the "First Enochian Call". Transliterated they are "HOATH IIAIDA" which means "I am a true worshipper of the highest".

TOPY 005 Be like me - Zoskia (12" single, 1985)

Zos Kia was initially formed by John "Zoskia" Gosling along with John Balance and Min. This trio, along with Peter Christopherson on sound and other guests, recorded and performed several concerts in 1982/83 under the names Zos Kia and Coil and some of this material is available on the Coil/Zos Kia release Transparent.


In 1983, Balance and Christopherson left to concentrate on Coil full-time. All material released under the Zos Kia name alone was primarily the work of John Gosling. After retiring the Zos Kia name, Gosling went on to record with Sugardog, Psychic TV and work solo as Sugar J and Mekon.

TOPY 046CD Kondole/Dead Cat - Psychic TV
information compiled by "BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME TO DO IT BLOG" at http://theebradmiller.blogspot.com/

The first track was recorded at Time Square Studios, Chiswick, London, on the 23rd January 1989. It was recorded for the film by David Lewis called "DEAD CAT". The second track is music recorded at Time Square Studios, Chiswick, London, on the 23rd January 1988. It is was recorde as the soundtrack to a 23 minute film called "KONDOLE (THEE WHALE)" by David Lewis and Andy Crabb.

The Temple CD version featured one long track broken into two parts. Part One (Kondole) was 48 minutes long. Part Two (Dead Cat) was 12 minutes long... but joined together, the CD was one single 60 minute CD. This particular CD saw a reissue from Snow Records out of Japan.

Imagine if the Yellow Submarine kept travelling. Through the sea of holes, through the sea of monsters. Imagine if the consensual hallucination of the 1960s transmutated into a parallel quest for sentient enlightenment & political activity. Through oceans of time, through oceans of mystery. Eventually it would have chronicled the entire evolution of all life forms & states of consciousness throughout the omniverse. Doubtless in the process it would have encountered Master Voyagers, like dolphins & whales, whose voices contain precise threads of spiritual information. & doubtless it's return would prove that all beings are charged with discovery & navigation.



Prior to settling in California as exiles, Alaura & Genesis P. Orridge coordinated a campaign to expose & close down the Brighton dolphinarium. The Transmedia Collective eventually succeeded in rescuing & rehabilating 2 dolphins; released into the open oceans one year after the dolphinarium closed. The perseverance & passion of a few CAN win practical & permanent victory against the odds.

The Godzilla LP was featured prominently in the middle of the record stall in Albert Square market on the TV soap Eastenders during the mid 90s.



Andy Higgins was anonymous on this release, which the project and release just simply being called "godzilla" to avoid any entaglements with Toho films. Toho did eventually catch wind of this release and a cease and desist was ordered.

TOPY 076  12" single Mechanoia by Fist Fuck Deluxe
(limited edition of 50 copies or less)
(information contributed by archive reader and FFD member Jason Atomic)

Amongst Temple completists this disc is something of a holy grail item. Of note on Mechanioa is what has been described as "the best Rock 'n' Roll scream ever" and extensive use of toy sample including talking Freddie Kruger, action man and Terminator dolls.

from jason:
Mechanoia never had a cover, there was the original white label with a generic "mayking" pressing plant label & I think a few went out with Rubber stamped logos (might not even have been as many as 50 copies).


Then the acupuncture double serial numbered one came in a black sleeve with a camouflage print label.

This record actually ended up with 2 serial numbers as the actual Topy release was re-stamped with the serial number Jism 005 (If memory serves) when it was re-issued by acupuncture.

BOOK REVIEW by GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE:WHO KNOWS by FRANCIS PICABIA (Hanuman Books)

WHO KNOWS by FRANCIS PICABIA (Hanuman Books)

It becomes fairly clear that Francis Picabia had a rather volatile and patchy talent as one reads this trite book immediately after “YESNO”. The impression that this entirely compliments the vagaries of his personality is
further confirmed by the many references to his friend Picabia by Marcel Duchamp in the book of dialogues reviewed elsewhere in this source book. However, where “YESNO” reinforces the meticulous humor of Picabia “WHO KNOWS” illustrates his weakness and redundant artifice.

A review of “WHO KNOWS” needs such a preface in order to lend comprehension to the dismal nature and paltry tedium of this Hanuman book. Twice the size and a fifth the satisfaction of “YESNO”, “WHO
KNOWS” proves once again, though unnecessarily, that size is no guarantee of pleasure. Where “YESNO” sparkles and shimmers; eliciting merriment and jaundiced guffaws of misanthropy, and is an exigent treasure trove screaming for consultation on even the most degrading of commutes and unfriendly of days; “WHO KNOWS” is a weedy, paltry, pathetic and pitiful collection. Concise is replaced with overblown; astute observation with blind sentimentality and wit with indulgent banality and torpor. Yes, dear reader, this small tome is a chilling example that most disastrous of collections, the vanity emasculator. Glamour has putrefied to leave an awful and tasteless stinking, brown sludge.

It is as if Picabia falls victim to a particularly modern folly of believing his own “hype”. Perhaps the editor and compiler Remy Hall became too enthused with the charm of the deceptively spontaneous one-liners of
“YESNO” and decided to demonstrate for posterity (which is, after all, 50% reliant upon the spectators engagement in this process if we are to believe Marcel Duchamp and others. And we DO!) the intellectual weight and acuity divinely possessing the “supermale” Francis Picabia in a feeble attempt to re-engrave his literary tombstone with an intellectually overextended and far more pretentious inscription. So disappointing. So disillusioning. So sad. So sad.

Now, don’t get me wrong! I maintain my position that one should always acquire ANY Hanuman Book no matter how obscure, dilettantish or brief as an absolute matter of principle. Certain heroic and obsessional activities transcend individual subjectivity. Nevertheless, this volume constitutes a somber reminder that there will inevitably be dross and ineffective artifice to file along the Hanuman way.

YESNO by FRANCIS PICABIA (Hanuman Books)

BOOK REVIEW by GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE

Hanuman Books are sweet strawberries covered in the most delicious creamy chocolate in this feast of literature. I adore them. They are petite and firm, exotic and very, very sexy little items, guaranteed to add secret glamour and sophisticated depth to even the most shallow of pockets.


“YESNO”, by “dadaist” and painter Francis Picabia, is 47 discerning midget pages of evanescent aphorisms. Gems of cynicism, melancholy observation and caustic comment, worthy of any aspiring, or asp-like, queen’s tiara of wit. The brief messages, warnings and considerations are drawn from his journals and notebooks over the period 1939-1957.

“Beauty is relative to the amount of interest it arouses.” quoth she.

This is an anthology from the revered lineage that includes the dandyish sublimity of an Oscar Wild; the fastidious camp of a Quentin Crisp; or even the more obscure English Edwardians like James Bertram and F. Russell whose Victorian misogyny and skepticism were illustrated more exquisitely than the “corpse” itself by Austin Osman Spare in “The Starlit Mire”. Yes, aphorisms are a justly grand tradition of which one can only approve, given that one is a reasonable person. And, in this age of advertising slogans and soundbites; bumper stickers, and designer corporate logos as street fashion, a reminder of the priceless art of word games. The contradiction, collision and collusion in fresh revelation that twisting and pummeling the material of words can supply, in order for us “to see what they really say” as Brion Gysin so prophetically indicated in his “cut-ups”.

“Art is the cult of error” - Picabia.

We are able to gorge ourselves on discriminating morsels for the discerning palate from the palette of Picabia’s ascerbic acuity. To savor the menu of resident connoisseur Picabia’s palette of human tinctures and emotional flavors. As you have rightly guessed, dear reader, all is artifice, contrivance, and bouquet.

“Serious people have a slight odor of carrion” - Picabia.


“YESNO” is sublime evidence for one of the essential and supreme conclusions of any intelligent culture made in the 20th century; that “Art” has been distilled repeatedly and most thoroughly until it may quite rightly only be perceived and defined as an attitude of and to Life ( yes, complete with an “IF” right there in the middle) Furthermore, that attitude towards “Life” that some remain obliged to label “art”, is no more than an inevitable and unenviable condition of detached awareness of, and dispassionate concern with, all aspects of, and manifestations of, the exponentially increasing actions and reactions of said absurd in that Life, and all lives.

“Many artists devote their time to their painting, I ask myself why are these people so fond of bad company?” - Picabia.

There are strong arguments to suggest that “art” is merely an expression of a neuroses given space in our persona by the luxury of free time thanks to the advent of tools, technology and overt, or covert economic systems of slavery and privilege. “Art” has no biological source, no survival imperative. What was once a “craft” for making functional and magical “things” is now a dubious and unnecessary post-existentialist requirement of taste. Nothing more than that. Just an obsolete but amusing symbol of a fantasy of neurological superiority.

“Art is a pharmaceutical product for idiots.” - Picabia.

By the way, don’t worry if the word “art” never enters your vocabulary! This simply means that you are extremely culturally healthy, and/or blissfully and justifiably elsewhere. So, at that next soiree, or opening, or dreadfully dull social occasion, nip into the bathroom, sneak out your well worn copy of “YESNO” and just try substituting any old power word, or enemies name for that tired old word “art” and you will be surprised at the good time you shall have.
