About X and Major Arcana
X
No fantasy is too obscene at the masquerade balls hosted by Christian King, known to her guests as X. The monthly masked debauchery that takes place at her beachside estate is all fun and games until the arrival of an unexpected guest from Christian’s past threatens to bring to light her darkest secret: she is a voyeur who keeps a hidden camera in the guest bathroom.
Edited & Directed by Scott J. Ramsey

Major Arcana
The Major Arcana is a queer electropop/new wave music act formed in San Francisco, CA in 2017, while creating original music for the indie queer erotic thriller film X. The film’s director/co-writer Scott J. Ramsey serves as vocalist and songwriter, while Kevin De Nicolo, one of the film’s producers and co-composer, serves as instrumentalist.
The Major Arcana’s original intent was to create an immersive storyworld that involved storytelling on three different levels: the music, the film, and music videos. However, the creative process of weaving the film’s score spawned the creation of an entire collection of songs, which make up The Major Arcana’s debut album At the Devil’s Ball. The Major Arcana’s music style is baroque, goth, queer pop, inspired by new wave artists like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Oingo Boingo, and Pet Shop Boys, as well as contemporary electropop artists like St. Vincent and Goldfrapp, with a theatrical vocal style and queer, gothic masquerade imagery.
In our second segment, we chat about finishing The Stand (spoiler free). We also highlight recent articles posted to the tggeeks.com in the past week. As always we have our birthdays and we have the ever-popular feedback segment.
We welcome your feedback. Please, let us know what you think. Good or bad, we want to know and you could receive a shoutout in the feedback segment. Thank you for listening, we really do appreciate you taking time out of your day to spend with us.
