COSEY FANNI TUTTI
SHARES A NEW TRACK FROM HER
FORTHCOMING ALBUM: DELIA DERBYSHIRE: THE MYTHS AND THE LEGENDARY TAPES
OUT VIA CONSPIRACY INTERNATIONAL ON 16 SEP 2022
LISTEN TO AN EDIT OF CORNET LAMENT
Cosey Fanni Tutti has today shared an edit of ‘Cornet Lament’, the latest taste of what to expect from her forthcoming album, Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes.
Out on 16 September 2022 on Ultra Clear vinyl, CD and digitally via the artist’s own label, Conspiracy International, the new album collates her original soundtrack recordings for Caroline Catz’ acclaimed film about Derbyshire.

In 2018, Cosey Fanni Tutti was commissioned to write the soundtrack to director and actor Caroline Catz’s acclaimed, intimate portrayal of the composer, musician and sonic experimentalist, Delia Derbyshire (1937-2001). Best known for her ground-breaking work on the 1963 Doctor Who theme tune, Derbyshire was instrumental in giving easy access to and rewiring a nation’s attitudes towards electronic music. Working within the often-stifling confines of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, her experimentalism - which saw her manipulating magnetic tape, found sounds and electronics - is only now being given full credit for the immeasurable impact it has had on the way we hear the world.
The new album includes the audio explorations and experiments that lead Cosey Fanni Tutti to the final soundtrack for Catz’ film. From the 4-minute long ‘Cornet Lament’ to the humorous ‘Snuff Chorus’ (which references Derbyshire’s addiction to snuff), the album is a journey through both Delia and Cosey’s practises, and the research work Fanni Tutti spent researching Derbyshire’s archives (both musical and the more personal ephemera of her life) have helped to create a deep and personal audio world for Catz’s depiction of the artist to inhabit.
Cosey Fanni Tutti explains, “The compositions are inspired by my research of the Delia Derbyshire audio archive, Delia's original compositional notes and techniques which in combination with my admiration and love of Delia’s work provided a way to integrate her style and approach to music with my own. An alliance of our sensibilities.”
The new album follows the release of Cosey Fanni Tutti’s new book, RE-SISTERS: The Lives and Recordings of Delia Derbyshire, Margery Kempe and Cosey Fanni Tutti out this week on Faber. The book and the soundtrack recordings are intrinsically linked – Cosey’s research into Derbyshire coincided with her discovery of Margery Kempe and while working on the film, she found herself struck by how Derbyshire, Kempe and Fanni Tutti’s own life experiences felt intertwined. In the book, for the first time, Cosey Fanni Tutti explains her own processes creating music, an invaluable insight her artistic life.
The music was composed, performed and produced by Cosey at Studio 47 in Norfolk, partly at Twickenham Studio 3 London, with vocals by Cosey Fanni Tutti and Caroline Catz, alongside the voice of Delia Derbyshire.
Musician, artist and author 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. Her first solo album, Time To Tell (1983) was followed by 2019’s Tutti and her debut book, Art Sex Music, was published in 2017.
Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes will be available on Ultra Clear vinyl, CD and digitally on 16 September 2022. The digital edition will also be available as a Dolby ATMOS mix via Apple Music.
