PRESS RELEASE

COSEY FANNI TUTTI announces the release of her second solo album, TUTTI, 
out on Conspiracy International on 8th February 2019.

TUTTI is comprised of eight soundscapes: an audio self portrait comprising of manipulated sound recordings from Cosey’s life, music and art: “It’s the only album I’ve made that is an all encompassing statement expressing the totality of my being. A sense of the past in relation to the present and everything in between.”

These eight pieces were originally conceived as the soundtrack to the autobiographical film ‘Harmonic Coumaction’, and performed live in February 2017, part of a series of events that accompanied the COUM Transmissions retrospective which opened Hull UK City of Culture 2017. Later that year, ‘Harmonic Coumaction’ was presented as an audio-visual installation for Cosey Fanni Tutti’s solo exhibition at Cabinet Gallery, London.

Cosey Fanni Tutti explains: “Working on the COUM Transmissions exhibition also coincided with writing my autobiography - collating archive material and re engaging with my past. My work is a continuum, the past feeding the present and vice versa. The album is an interpretation of my past and present, of my understanding the shifting perceptions of how they inform one another. One form creating another through a metamorphic process.”

On TUTTI, the music has been updated and enhanced with elements of the original tracks re-recorded and further processed specifically to create a unique stand-alone document, separate to the live performance and installation.

Recorded at Cosey Fanni Tutti’s studio in Norfolk, the album, as on her debut release, Time To Tell, merges Cosey’s art activities with her exploration of sound: The album’s autobiographical theme is not locked into any specific time or place, the ‘voices’, instruments and sounds together span decades of my life, music and art. In this context my name 'TUTTI’ shifts from its role as a noun to perfectly represent the concept of the album, also acting as sign for me the artist.

TUTTI is Cosey Fanni Tutti’s only solo album release since 1982’s Time To Tell. Time To Tell was recently given its first release on vinyl, on a long awaited official deluxe edition. The interim years between solo releases has seen a blisteringly prolific output as an artist and musician. Renowned for her art, her work in the sex industry, as co-founder of Industrial music and Throbbing Gristle, and her pioneering electronic music solo and as Chris & Cosey, Carter Tutti and Carter Tutti Void, she has created throughout with the motto “my life is my art, my art is my life”. 

Cosey’s autobiography ART SEX MUSIC was published to worldwide acclaim by Faber & Faber in 2017, a Japanese edition has just been published with further translations and an audio book to follow.

Jonáš Gruska – Žaburina

“Gruska remains a distant conductor, assembling sounds with finesse and a touch of humor.” - FACT Mag on Jonáš Gruska’s debut, Spevy

For his sophomore album proper, Bratislava-based artist and microphone-builder Jonáš Gruska breaks from the field recordings that dominated his 2017 debut, and turns his focus to digital synthesis and algorithmically generated music. The sounds on Žaburina comprises choice snippets from Gruska’s generative computer compositions, unfolding into colliding rituals of interlacing digital notes. Key sonic inspirations include everything from insects and birds, to hydrophone recordings, the work of Harry Partch, and traditional musics from Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. 

Žaburina essentially takes places in the subaqueous world envisioned by Gruska. The album’s title even comes from the Slovak word for part of a pond covered over with algae and frogspawn. The spasmodic, bubbling music of Žaburina represents Gruska’s dreams about “non-traditional, alien societies living mostly underwater,”; they imagine the peculiar folklore and ceremonial musics such a culture could have. 

This music approaches scales and rhythm with its own alien logic, with almost every track utilising polythyrhms and polymetry. The latter refers to the myriad tempi various voices across the album use, perhaps starting a piece in unison before falling apart over time. The resultant rhythmic patterns are often chaotic, yet deeper listening reveals a vibrant internal logic all their own. Album centrepiece ‘Sen’ (‘Dream’) takes the process to its limit, ushering a choir of generative synth melodies into mutating wreaths for over eight minutes.

A key part of the compositional process came in adapting this music for live performance. Gruska employs a set of horn PA speakers dotted about a performance space, each spreading the various voices in each piece around the room. The sonic qualities of the horn speakers - a bright sound focused on projecting over distance and with relatively little available at the lower end of the frequency range - in turn influenced Gruska’s process when programming both the tone and timbre of each piece. 

“Performing them like that made me rethink,” says Gruska of the horn speakers. “They are my little choir.” Gruska’s methodology also has the benefit of creating productions that lose little on lower quality sound systems. He assures us that this release doesn’t suffer from bad listening situations. “It can actually benefit from it.”


Also included on Žaburina is a trio of remixes by Broshuda, &apos (Bepotel), and Max Eilbacher (Horse Lords, SEF III), each recontextualising Gruska’s source material across glitchy beats and hypnagogic soundscapes. Jonáš Gruska continues to helm his instrument manufacturer and record label, LOM, out of Bratislava.

Pre-order via: https://chafikchennoufkatsunorisawa.bandcamp.com/album/mediate-between-them
Release date: January 21st, 2019

With “Caused Corruption & Spilled Blood“, the second release on Voidance Records, Chafik Chennouf & Katsunori Sawa have created a soundtrack of the tragic drama of humanity´s fatal flaws, meditating on the question whether the angels were right to fear mankind's creation of causing corruption and spilling blood according to an anecdote that all Abrahamic religions share.

The follow up „Mediate Between Them“ may not provide an answer to this question, but further elaborates on the topic. Whereas issues such as obstruction of truth for personal gains, affinity for internal destruction or longing for salvation were originally approached more internally by means of ambient or experimental electronics, the experience now emerges through the work of renowned artists Samuel Kerridge, Eomac, Nene H. and Stave using Noise, Techno and stepping Industrial as their weapons of choice.

Voidance Records is proud to present Chafik Chennouf & Katsunori Sawa´s vision once again, this time through different eyes of 4 unique artists. Not only is „Mediate Between Them“ the reverence these tracks deserve, but also demonstrates a huge step forward in the Label’s position as a striking new voice in contemporary electronic music.

This track is quoted from the release 'Under the Morning Mist | In This Perfect Dream'.
Listening to all tracks and purchasing are available on the link below.

https://pitp.bandcamp.com/album/under-the-morning-mist-in-this-perfect-dream

"In this decade, I visited many places in order to record organic sounds such as, rare bird voices and sounds of waves (I live in the basin area far from sea). There is a river near my house and I often visit there to record, or merely walk. When I recorded in the early morning hours at that riverside for ‘Under the Morning Mist’, the body of water was beautifully wrapped with a dense mist. A gorgeous backdrop and inspiration for this arrangement. 


A park located in the city where I reside, was the inspiration for the arrangement, 'In This Perfect Dream'. The captured sounds of trees, leaves, and the winds.. All beautiful sounds around me that we typically take for granted. I got lost in time, it felt like a perfect dream, hence the title of this arrangement."

Pre Order: https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/light-not-light

In Light not Light, as the titles suggest, each track could be, or not be, each draws a scenario where the listener is the subject, and the composer has already completed his task. 
The sound, too, comes from an instrument (classical guitar) that is no longer itself, shaped and transformed by electronics into its future projection. Sometimes you can find traces of natural sounds, as if to preserve a connection with the original idea, sometimes I inserted some field recordings, as little suggestions.

Label; Dronarivm

Format: CD (ltd. 150)/ DL
Release date: March 1st, 2019

“Sallaw” is a Kurdish word that expresses the passing of time, and on this new album the three sound artists have found a way of expressing that notion in music. Four tracks of slowly unfolding ambience make up this collection, each piece named after different months, again in Kurdish. The four sections represent the different seasons and their movement through time.

‘Mnemosyne’ is the debut album from Mexico City based multi-instrumentalist, film composer and sound preservationist Carlos Morales, who creates under the name The Phonometrician.

‘Mnemosyne’ is an album that asks what memories would sound like if they were captured through sound. At its core, ‘Mnemosyne’ is album built around finger-picked acoustic guitar, somewhat classical or folk in nature, yet it’s much more than that.  Morales deploys a very specific palette of instrumentation to realize his musical vision, it’s as if a classical guitar is slowly being worn away and devoured by an onslaught of looping, ever-shifting analog sound creatures, scattering for cover when the light hits them too directly and continuously eat away at the strings. Much like rifling through the pages of an aged and tattered diary, warm shuffles of vinyl and airy waves tape saturation emerge only to retreat once more into the darker recesses, leaving the pysche grasping wildly to recall the meaning of their existence.
