Dr Gonzo first met Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule in 2005, if my memory is correct. We were driving to St Andrews in our new VW Beetle on a hot night with the roof down.
A hitchhiker, a flamboyant looking man wearing robes and no shoes appeared on the road.
He told us his name was Orryelle as we sped a few kilometres to St. Andrews.
Orryelle is a visual performance artist working in the world of the esoteric and avantgarde with skin art, film, writing and painting.
The music he creates is primal and has operatic, jazz and classical influences.
He is the writer-director of Australian-originating Metamorphic Ritual Theatre Company who have presented many major original productions based in (and updating/mutating) various ancient mythos.
With voice and violin through loops and FX and various accomplices, he performs regularly around UK, US and Europe- where he is creating an esoteric sculpture garden in the Ardennes woods of Belgium.
Author-Artist of ‘Esezezus’ a book on and of the Magic of Language (Grayle Press 2023) with accompanying album, the Tela Quadrivium fourfold book web from Fulgur Press (2008-2015), ‘Time, Fate and Spider Magic’ (Avalonia Books 2014) and The Book of Kaos Tarot (iNSPiRALink.Multimedia Press 2003)
Orryelle is interested in the convergence of mental, spiritual and emotional relationships with creativity, in the vanguard of the current resurgence of the esoteric in the arts with its processes of re-enchantment.
Dr Gonzo has hosted many artists on And This One's Introduced By... who've presented albums in the style of Americana, Power pop, alt-country, punk and blues.
This is not pop music and I invite you to join me for a interesting musical journey with Orryelle.
