Billy Corgan is to release an album of experimental recordings made in 2007 for a price of $59.95 (approximately £36).
Titled AEGEA, the album comes in an edition of 250, each hand-numbered and annotated by Corgan. It will be released in the next six to eight weeks, reports Pitchfork.
Speaking about the album, Corgan said: “As a work, AEGEA is experimental in nature, and comes across as more a soundtrack to some lost foreign film than the kind of music I’m usually associated with. Listening back I quite like how ‘EGEA goes along, as it has qualities that are both meditative and alien; but not alienating.”
Corgan has recently been turning in a series of esoteric performances at his Chicago teahouse Madame ZuZu’s. In February, around 40 people squeezed into the café to catch a glimpse of Corgan play an eight hour long gig based on author Herman Hesse’s 1922 novel Siddhartha. At the end of March, he played a gig inspired by the poetry of 13th century mystic Rumi.
