2007: Angelbert was asked by Saul Williams to create the Album cover for Saul’s music project “ The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust ” this would lead to Angelbert working on the set design for the tour and various other components of collaboration.

“In the album’s artwork, there’s an illustration of a person that is two people combined into one. Was that an allusion to Plato’s Symposium?
Everything is an allusion to Plato’s symposium if you want it to be. I’m glad that you think that, but if you want the actual answer, I’d have to ask Angelbert Metoyer , the artist who did the work. But it’s funny, because in the last interviews he was asked to speak but he said, “I don’t want to talk”, so I would say in some ways it’s yes, but it’s also an allusion to all that is two sided and double fisted. And to the Songkeeper, which is what all of that work comes from, a collection he’s been working of for the past 7 to 9 years. The Songkeeper, which is who Niggy Tardust is, is what he’s been working on in the paint world and what I’ve been working on in the poetry and musical world. We’ve only known each other for about seven months, but as soon as we met we realized we were working on the same project. Niggy Tardust isn’t just a collaboration between me and Trent Reznor; it’s also with artists like Angelbert Metoyer and like Melody Ehsani , who makes jewelry and clothing. And yes, we do reference all aspects of history and philosophy in our work, so yes.
2007: Angelbert would go on tour with Joseph Arthur and the Lonely Astronauts. Creating art work on stage with the band. In LA show Angelbert would preform a meditation on stage before the band would come out that bring the entire audience to complete silence.
