After 37 years since her first solo release, Cosey Fanni Tutti hasn’t missed a beat with her second solo release, TUTTI. I read that this album is meant to be a self-portrait of her life, music and art. It was originally written as a soundtrack to the autobiographical film, ‘Harmonic Coumaction’. It was later updated to create something separate from that project and now we have TUTTI. The album was released on February 8th via Conspiracy International, a label founded by Chris & Cosey. It is made up of 8 tracks, each between 4 to just over 5 minutes in length.
This album is a sonic meditative journey through Cosey’s soundscape. The common thread through most of this album is the driving beat. At times tribal in its intensity and other times a constant force propelling you further into the album. Nothing showcases this more than the self-titled track, ‘TUTTI’.
‘TUTTI’ starts out with sounds played in reverse, which are heard throughout the album. A trumpet plays a lone tune that reminds me very much of the trumpet musings on thisquietarmy’s latest release The Body and the Earth. (Having reviewed that album not too long ago and loving the album, it’s still fresh in my mind.) The beat comes in heavy and the noise layers get added on and on. The reverb on the trumpet is great. The album’s previous life as a soundtrack shows itself. The music conjures up imagery of a vast landscape at times busy and other times desolate.
