Interview with Psyche Corporation at Webster Hall in NYC, April 3rd, 2011:

Bios/Info

As a performance, Psyche Corporation is an alloy. One part cyberpunk trip-hop darkwave music, one part robotics exhibition, one part dreamscape art. Drawing much of its aesthetic from steampunk fashions and the neo-vintage movement, Psyche Corp. seeks to combine the best of many worlds: creating a society drenched in decadence, where nobles wear corsets and cages for fun, yet women enjoy at least as much autonomy as they do today. Having made an empire of past and present, Psyche Corp. goes on to claim the dearest dreams of science-fiction enthusiasts, namely life-extension and virtual reality servers full of wonderful nightmares. Using styles and art inspired by older eras, Psyche Corp. takes on a mystique markedly different from the usual jeans-and-tee band.

Alternate Bio
Hailing from a future dominated by neurotechnology, dendritic Internet connections and direct dream-downloads, Psyche Corporation is part of an early subliminal marketing initiative for a popular dream-manufacture company of the same name.

The lead vocalist and PR rep of Psyche Corp. is known by many names, but she mostly goes by Genevieve. She sings of a dangerously decadent, ElektroVictorian future, full of glamour and alien sensations. She is continually searching for artists and inventors of your time to join the dream design board and exhibit their wonders at the show.

A few words from our most famous CEO
Far into the future, the Internet is jacked directly into your mind, an integrated brain-machine network known as the Psi-net. Psyche Corp. manufactures your custom-made dreams, but no one has called it Psyche Corp. for decades. The executive board of Psyche Corp. is the richest, most powerful group of individuals on the planet, and they are known as the Shadow Court. Styles have grown decadent and Elektro-Victorian, nanotechnology flows through your every vein.

Greetings, twenty-first century human, greetings from the Shadow Court. I hail from the City of God and I come as a messenger of the future. I am a Dream Spinner, a deliberate acouasm, a scientist of chimeras. Let me fill your mind with music.

-Psyche Chimère
