It was a highlight in the history of Forum Expanded when two of the most influential greats of experimental music, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic-TV, Thee Majesty) and Tony Conrad, came together on the stage of HAU in 2011. The two of them had met for the first time while shooting Marie Losierʼs THE BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE, which premiered in the Forum of the Berlinale the same year, and discovered a lot of common ground in the way they approach music, sound, art, and life, as well as a shared love for the violin. For the legendary concert they were joined by percussionist Morrison Edley.
For those who were there and those who missed it, a live recording is now available. Utilizing recycled colored vinyl, each slab is completely unique and comes housed in a recycled craft paper jacket emblazoned with a removable embroidered patch attached to the front cover. Also included is an 8” x 8” black and white booklet featuring photos from the concert as well 2 postcard sized replicas of the original concert poster. Each package was lovingly stamped and assembled by hand.
