Published March 5, 2020 by Faber & Faber.
A new edition as part of the Faber Greatest Hits - books that have taken writing about music in new and exciting directions for the twenty-first century. Musician and artist Cosey Fanni Tutti has continually challenged boundaries and conventions for four decades.
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.
Shocking, wise and life-affirming, Art Sex Music is the fascinating memoir of an inspirational woman.
I'd heard of Throbbing Gristle, and even own some Chris Carter vinyl, I did not know about Cosey Fanni Tutti. It turns out that was my loss. I was a bit put off by the writing style for the first few pages, but then found myself being drawn in deeper and deeper till I could barely put it down. What an amazing life and an amazing worts and all account of it. An absolute must read.
