The Magick Powerhouse of Oz

The story of The Magick Powerhouse of Oz begins in the 1960's with a then young musician named Bobby Beausoleil and his psychedelic chamber music group called The Orkustra. Avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger chanced upon a performance of The Orkustra at the legendary San Francisco happening known as The Invisible Circus. Impressed more with Beausoleil's magnetic stage presence than the music itself, he asked the young musician to play the title role in his next planned film, Lucifer Rising .
