Tutti

Cosey Fanni Tutti

Description

Summary: TUTTI is comprised of eight soundscapes: an audio self portrait comprising of manipulated sound recordings from Cosey's life, music and art, bringing all together - as one. Originally conceived as the soundtrack to the autobiographical film 'Harmonic Coumaction', and performed live in February 2017 and later presented as an audio-visual installation for Cosey Fanni Tutti's solo exhibition at Cabinet Gallery, London. This iteration has been updated and enhanced with elements of the original compositions rerecorded and further processed specifically for this release to create a unique stand-alone document seperate to the live performances and installations.

"Like the soundtrack to a lost episode of `Black Mirror', the avant-garde musician's first album in 37 years is a remarkably intelligent and engrossing record, one whose ebb and flow reflects her entire career ... Indeed, the progression from thumping electronics at the start of `TUTTI' to the ruminative, polytextured soundscapes at the end (`En', `Orenda') may be Cosey's way of charting the vim and vigour of her pioneering `60s /'70s work to a serener life decades on. However you interpret it, `TUTTI' is a remarkably intelligent and engrossing record for then, now, and the future".

"... the album is designed to become more and more ambient, and in the end it lapses into forgettable cod-sinister wafting on En and Orenda. But in the central section, as that insistent beat begins to lose its way, there is some drama. Sophic Ripple features a high-speed pulse emitted as if through clouds of fog, with futuristic sirens flitting past - a cyberpunk dreamscape, conjured again in darker tones for the next track Split. These pieces suggest her gift now lies in spatial sound design, rather than industrial pop".

"TUTTI feels retrospective in the sense that Cosey Fanni Tutti doesn't introduce anything strikingly unfamiliar to her sonic palette here, with its ambient closing tracks a retread back to Time To Tell. TUTTI though is essential in that it marks Cosey Fanni Tutti as the auteur of her own sound world, as well as being a strong facilitator, artist and collaborator".
