With BRION GYSIN in Paris - from Genesis P-Orridge's lost UK-archive

Brion Gysin (19 January 1916 – 13 July 1986) was an english painter, sound poet, and writer of the Beat generation who lived on Rue St. Martin, in Paris, right across Museum Pompidou, when UK-Avantgarde artist and Industrial music founder Genesis P-Orridge visited his mentor. Gysin is best known for his discovery of the 'Cut-up'-technique, used by his friend and collegue, the novelist William S. Burroughs. With the engineer Ian Sommerville, Gysin invented the Dreamachine - a flicker device designed as an art object to be viewed with the eyes closed - as a prototype of modern, electronic mind- or brain-machines. In this raw documentary from 1985 Genesis and Gysin talk about the alchemy of making a good tea, the rhizomatic character of their music and art and test and film the Dreamachine … while listening to the sound of Brian Jones' Master Musicians of Jajouka and P-Orridge's industrial band Throbbing Gristle.
