Candide

Part of the Madame ZuZu’s x Rough Trade collaboration — a curated selection of exclusive and special vinyl releases.

Candide is a 2015 live ambient synthesizer performance by Billy Corgan. It features a modular synth soundtrack edited from an original six-hour jam session at his tea shop, Madame ZuZu's, accompanied by readings from Voltaire’s classic 1759 satire.

Madame ZuZu’s is a Chicago-based independent record label and cultural platform founded by Billy Corgan and Chloé Mendel Corgan, centred on music, vinyl, art and community.
