Genesis Breyer P-Orridge
(born
Neil Andrew Megson
; 22 February 1950 – 14 March 2020) was an English singer-songwriter, musician, poet,
performance artist
, visual artist, and
occultist
who rose to notability as the founder of the
COUM Transmissions
artistic collective and lead vocalist of seminal
industrial
band
Throbbing Gristle
. P-Orridge was also a founding member of
Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth
occult group, and fronted the experimental
pop rock
band
Psychic TV
.
Born in
Manchester
, P-Orridge developed an early interest in art, occultism, and the
avant-garde
while at
Solihull School
. After dropping out of studies at the
University of Hull
, P-Orridge moved into a counter-cultural commune in
London
and adopted
Genesis P-Orridge
as their
nom-de-guerre
. On returning to Hull, P-Orridge founded COUM Transmissions with
Cosey Fanni Tutti
, and in 1973 they relocated to London. COUM's confrontational
performance work
, dealing with such subjects as
sex work
,
pornography
,
serial killers
, and
occultism
, represented a concerted attempt to challenge societal norms and attracted the attention of the national press. COUM's 1976
Prostitution
show at London's
Institute of Contemporary Arts
was particularly vilified by tabloids, gaining them the moniker of the "wreckers of civilisation." P-Orridge's band, Throbbing Gristle, grew out of COUM, and were active from 1975 to 1981 as pioneers in the industrial music genre. In 1981, P-Orridge co-founded Psychic TV, an experimental band that from 1988 onward came under the increasing influence of
acid house
.
In 1981, P-Orridge co-founded
Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth
, an informal occult order influenced by
chaos magic
and experimental music. P-Orridge was often seen as the group's leader, but rejected that position, and left the group in 1991. Amid the
Satanic ritual abuse
hysteria, a 1992
Channel 4
documentary accused P-Orridge of sexually abusing children, resulting in a police investigation. P-Orridge was subsequently cleared and Channel 4 retracted their allegation. As a result of the incident, P-Orridge left the United Kingdom for the United States and settled in New York City. There, P-Orridge married Jacqueline Breyer, later known as Lady Jaye, in 1995, and together they embarked on the Pandrogeny Project, an attempt to unite as a "pandrogyne", or single entity, through the use of surgical
body modification
to physically resemble one another. P-Orridge continued with this project of body modification after Lady Jaye's 2007 death. Although involved in reunions of both Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV in the 2000s, P-Orridge retired from music to focus on other artistic mediums in 2009.
P-Orridge was credited on over 200 releases during their lifetime. They were cited as an icon within the avant-garde art scene, accrued a
cult following
, and had been given the moniker of the "Godparent of Industrial Music".
