Candide is a live improvisational synthesizer performance by Billy Corgan with selections from Voltaire's Candide read by Joseph Hudson (NWA and Resistance PRO wrestler). The single LP album was personally edited down by Corgan to 40 minutes from the over six hour original performance, which took place on February 8, 2015 at the original Madame ZuZu's location.

Corgan used a Roland System-100M 182 analog modular synthesizer. On an August 16, 2023 live stream, Corgan also said he may have used a Eurorack in combination with a vintage Farfisa.
