Ant here with a mucky one for youse. We'll its not that mucky at all actually but now that I've got the attention of you pervs I'll proceed to tell you about The new COH and Cosey Fanni Tutti 'COH Plays Cosey' CD on Raster Noton. The ex- Throbbing Gristle lady gets here vocals arranged and processed by polish dude Ivan Pavlov. Little snippets are taken and overlaid, re-edited and generally shifted about. You can hear full words at times with a bit of a narrative but there are also some super sexy moaning sounds etc and if you crank this up load your neighbors will think your a proper weirdo listening to a glitched up porn star. COH has apparent ly started a project with other ex TG member and Coil bloke Peter Christopherson who has just pissed me off immensely after I forked out for the recent Coil box set under the impression that the extra LP would be exclusive to the box. Then I found out its coming out on CD with 3 bonus tracks. Gotta milk the fans eh! This CD is one of those strange little beasts that has parts that I really like and others that kind of make me shake my head in disbelief. The usual lush Raster Noton packaging.

first part of an ongoing collaborative project between Ivan Pavlov/COH and Cosey Fanni Tutti known for her solo performances and work with Chris Carter/CTI as well as for being a part of the radical cultural phenomena COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle. Very much a statement rather than just a musical venture, COH PLAYS COSEY deals with concepts of honesty, trust, privacy, communication as well as (perception of) sexuality. The work represents a very close, if an intimate, contact between the two, where one (Ivan) was to interpret voice recordings made for him by the other (Cosey) - recordings made in intensely emotional states to establish a dialogue that extends beyond words, beyond intellect. A most private emotional diary of one (Cosey) pronounced to the general public by the other (Ivan ). The work has been kept hermetic by Ivan voluntarily restricting his choice of sound exclusively to that originating from the voice recordings, thus preserving the raw quality of his source material. In this explicit sonic adventure COH plays Cosey without inhibitions, without fear and without questioning the content submitted. COH plays Cosey like an actor - becoming her through his elaborate transformations of the voice. COH plays Cosey like a computer game - making his way though the infinite combinations and variety of human expression with ease and sense of fun. COH plays Cosey like in sex - fully controlling the process and manifesting the eventual outcome. COH PLAYS COSEY is a world of the embarrassingly unspoken made audible, COH PLAYS COSEY is the place where there is nothing left to hide.
