Abstract | Writing in The Psychick Bible (2006) Genesis P-Orridge notes how ‘Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth has been convened in order to act as a catalyst and focus for the Individual (sic) development of all those who wish to reach inwards and strike out. ‘Maybe you are one of these,’ he continues, ‘already feeling different, dissatisfied, separate from the mass around you, instinctive and alert? You are already one of us.’ Founded after the disbanding of Throbbing Gristle (seen by many as the founding fathers of the industrial music genre ), Psychic TV was formed in 1981 and over a period of more than thirty years, have produced a vast oeuvre of mixed media work including recordings, moving image, art installations and literature. As a band and performing arts group, they have embodied various incarnations, working collaboratively with over thirty musicians, writers, artists and philosophers, with P-Orridge remaining the one constant core member of the band. |
