As a founding member of the hugely influential avant-garde band Throbbing Gristle, as one half of electronic pioneers Chris and Cosey, and as an artist channelling her experience in pornographic modelling and striptease, her work on the margins has come to reshape the mainstream. Her first book, Art Sex Music, was a Sunday Times, Telegraph, Rough Trade, Pitchfork and Uncut Book of the Year, and was shortlisted for the Penderyn Music Book Prize. Review "Cosey Fanni Tutti has lived thelife and has the stories to tell: not just hers, but those of two other stillunheralded female pioneers." Jon Savage"Sparked by coincidence andfuelled by strong feelings of like-mindedness, Cosey Fanni Tutti inhabits thelives of two famously iconoclastic women, Delia Derbyshire and Margery Kempe, clearly identifying them as both kindred spirits and profound sources ofinspiration, and vividly blending their stories with her own. The result ispure Cosey Fanni Tutti: passionate, original, and fiercely defiant." RupertThomson"Awe-inspiring. This book is foranybody who wants to discover the work of three women who, without fanfare, have enriched our world." Robert Wyatt"An impeccably researchedmeditation on womanhood as viewed through the lives of three firebrand." Fiona Sturges, Guardian"Never self-serving, always fullof active curiosity about the ways distant artists compel and ignite us . . .Re-sisters emanates an enthralling power." Jude Rogers, MOJO"This engaging entwining of livesis about defying your place as a woman, the freedom to define yourself, andpreserving yourself among stultifying societal norms and patriarchalbelittlement and aggressions . . . Ultimately, what comes through, and is trulyinspiring, is strength of character, strength of creativity - true fortitude, no least in the face of trauma . . . They all transcend those experiences andare truly alive in this book." Katrina Dixon, The Wire"Re-sisters digs up narratives ofguile and wiliness, tales of flying under the radar, and emerges with a wholecryptology of female artistic liberation. My recommendation: get it, read it, hear it." Louder than War"In her fascinating new book shetells the story of Derbyshire and Kempe, while also revealing how they haveinformed her own life. A straight up and down biography of Derbyshire - or Kemp- would have made more sense, but Fanni Tutti has never done straight up anddown and I, for one, was enthralled."
