Art Sex Music is the autobiography of a musician who, as a founding member of the avant-garde group Throbbing Gristle and electronic pioneers Chris & Cosey, has consistently challenged the boundaries of music over the past four decades.
It is the account of an artist who, as part of COUM Transmissions, represented Britain at the IXth Biennale de Paris, whose Prostitution show at the ICA in 1976 caused the Conservative MP Nicholas Fairbairn to declare her, COUM and Throbbing Gristle 'Wreckers of Civilisation' . . . shortly before he was arrested for indecent exposure, and whose work continues to be held at the vanguard of contemporary art.
And it is the story of her work as a pornographic model and striptease artiste which challenged assumptions about morality, erotica and art.
Art Sex Music is the wise, shocking and elegant autobiography of Cosey Fanni Tutti.
Art Sex Music eBook Cosey Fanni Tutti
I learned about Cosey from a tweet by Caroline Catz. I was already into synthesis since the 1980s. I love her story and the fact that she and Chris started the industrial music via their experimental effects and such. This coincided with my love of Modular among others. The fact that Throbbing Gristle was the original modular artists was interesting. I grew up with Suzanne Ciani and Wendy Carlos here in the USA, but never heard of Throbbing Gristle. I feel cheated somehow. Anyway, I thank Ms. Catz for tweeting about them. It was perfect timing for me as I have just started getting back into synthesis and listening to Throbbing Gristle was inspiring for me. I love the little modular box her husband Chris made for her. (Saw a video on it). Anyway, Ms. Cosey has led quite a colorful life. Thanks for sharing your story.Product details

Art Sex Music eBook Cosey Fanni Tutti Reviews
The author's meager talent and wooden personality contribute to a boring tale.
This is a stunning autobiography. Engrossing, full of life, and enlightening. A must for TG and Cosey Fanni Tutti fans. It's a hefty book that you end up wishing were longer.
Terrific memoir by Cosey Fanni Tutti, a founding member of the British performance art troup COUM, the highly influential band Throbbing Gristle (who pretty much invented Industrial music), and the excellent electronic music pioneers (formed from the ashes of TG) Chris & Cosey. She talks about her careers in performance, music, and art; her time working in the sex industry; and her life, in a very engaging way. A true music icon, I found this book fascinating and inspiratonal. Cosey 4Ever.
cosey's work as a total artist is covered here in her own words. in addition we have also stories from her personal life growing up in Hull and the events leading to her becoming a professional artist. as a fan of TG primarily i hadn't bargained her story beyond TG would quite so interesting. fascinating even. the narrative is woven seamlessly between art and life in general because she truly has lived her art. but even at point where they diverge she keeps things moving along nicely.
my main criticism coming away from the book is the treatment of genesis. i take her word that everything she says is completely true so the issue is not that i question her veracity. the issue is that after the period where they meet it seems the portrayal of genesis gets increasingly negative. given the facts i can see why. however i feel his contributions to their work together could or should have been recognized along with these faults. warts and all is fine as long as you don't forget the ALL.
overall a great read about an interesting and singular artist.
I've been a fan of Throbbing Gristle since around 1978. The town where I grew up in Port Huron, Michigan had a record store back then called Full Moon Records. They were reported by Chris Carter to have sold more TG records than any store in the United States and I happen to agree with that statement. The power and legacy of TG cannot be understated and Cosey Fanni Tutti was not only a founding member of the band but a powerful force in her own right. Her recording career is now into it's forth decade and she shows no sign of slowing down. Art exhibits, writing books and playing out as Carter Tutti keep her quite busy. This book is a beautiful memoir of those early days of TG. One that has a lot of ups and a lot of downs. Some may even say a little controversial. It's an amazing historical document that gives you an inside look into a mind that is constantly creating!! Highly Recommended!!

Fantastic book! I really felt like I got to know Cosey while reading this and most times had trouble putting it down as I was so drawn into her world and wanted to just keep reading.
Amazing book that gives a sense of what it was like to be an innovative artist that wasn't about hits. Also thrilled she went entire book without naming ex-'s band.
