A new chapter of “The Exquisite Corpse”
A new chapter was added today to the ongoing experimental noir novel, The Exquisite Corpse, that my wife Vanessa Sinclair and I are taking turns writing. So far, we’ve written five chapters. We post one new chapter every new and full moon, so… two chapters a month!
“I had to draw my breath consciously; one deep and long breath. One more sip of water. Another breath. Wake up, Father Black! The boundaries between waking and dreaming seemed to be dissolved in a cocktail of lighter fluid and kerosene and petrol; charring reason and rhyme and causal criminality so that the putrid stench utterly confused any attempts at clear thinking.”

Mother, Have A Safe Trip in paperback
My debut novel Mother, Have A Safe Trip is now available as a paperback right HERE!
Unearthed plans and designs stemming from radical inventor Nikola Tesla could solve the world’s energy problems. These plans suddenly generate a vortex of interest from various powers. Thrown into this maelstrom of international intrigue is Victor Ritterstadt – a soul searching magician with a mysterious and troubled past. From Berlin, over Macedonia, and all the way to Nepal, Ritterstadt sets out on an outer as well as inner quest. Espionage, love, UFOs, magic, telepathy, conspiracies, LSD, and more in this shocking story of a world about to be changed forever…
“It’s a thrilling roller coaster ride through psychedelic adventures, juicy romantic interludes, metaphoric dreamscapes, high Himalayan yoga enclaves, telepathic portals, 60’s flashbacks, magical constructs, secret government pursuits and many more twists that kept all three of my eyes open. It’s a story that you’ll definitely want to keep non-stop reading, which I enthusiastically recommend.”
– George Douvris, Links by George
“Mother, Have A Safe Trip is a highly entertaining and thought-provoking novel. Chock-full of psychedelia, the book is also a much welcome addition to the far too few fictional works published dealing with psychedelic culture.”
– Henrik Dahl, Psychedelic Press
“The dialogues are great. But it’s too short. I wanted more.”
– Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Artist
”It’s a wonderful read. A lovely book.”

“Change Itself” roams free!
I just made my documentary on Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020) available for free on YouTube. Enjoy!
Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: Change Itself
To sum up the life and work of British artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020) is close to impossible. Not only because of the wide range of artistic disciplines, but also because of the timespan, since the mid 1960s to the present day, that has been saturated by musical projects like Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, hundreds of records, thousands of concerts, exhibitions, interviews, videos, spoken word performances, collages, sculptures, philosophy, cultural engineering, occultism and radical transgender concepts. A couple of descriptions are still valid after these 50 years of active creativity and provocation. P-Orridge is a romantic existentialist and a cultural engineer. Everything is both work as such and seed for cultural and behavioural change.
