Mécanosphère & Mark Stewart / Kenneth Anger Technicolor Skull

Mécanosphère teamed with vocalist Mark Stewart (The Pop Group/The Maffia/On-U-Sound) for two performances in homage to legendary experimental film maker and notorious magus Kenneth Anger, intertwining their set with Anger's TECHNICOLOR SKULL: a magic operation of sound and light where Kenneth Anger in person played the theremin, sided by guitarist Brian Butler, while alternative cuts of some of his own films ("Lucifer Rising", "Invocation of my Demon Brother", "Scorpio Rising", "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome"...), were projected, juxtaposed with psychedelic skulls. Also appearing with Mécanosphère was multi-instrumentalist and electronic agitator Angie Reed (Chicks on Speed Records).

Between the two dates, Mécanosphère and Mark Stewart performed at Festival Bandits-Mages in Bourges, France (on May 8).

Photos and feedback coming soon.
