Below is a remix I recently put together for the compilation album ‘Interpretations on F.C. Judd’, which is a follow-up to last years outstanding compilation of Fred C. Judd's own works 'Electronics Without Tears'.</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;">
If you think my track sounds quirky, or dated even, that’s because it’s meant to. Many of Fred Judd's <i>instructional</i> Musique Concrète themed experimental recordings, while interesting to hear, have a <i>dry</i> tone, which didn't appeal to me as much as his more melodic Radiophonic works (his description). I wanted to capture the lighter, eccentric vibe from some of Fred's more rhythmic tracks. Also I found it impossible to resist using a couple of clips of his distinctively clipped British voice in the mix. For the project Alex from Public Information allowed us access to digitised files of Fred's music and tape experiments, and if I could have I would loved to have put my track together on tape, but no longer having any kind of tape machine put paid to that. So I recorded it in Logic and restricted my plug-in use to just a few 'retro' valve and tape emulations.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;">
Funnily enough Fred and me go back years… not that I ever met Mr Judd, in fact I wasn't even aware he was such an accomplished electronic music experimentalist until recently. But his written body of work had quite an influence on me getting into DIY electronics and creating my own electronic music. Apart from being a quintessential British boffin and Radiophonic music pioneer of the highest order (who knew!?) from the 1950s through to the 1970s he wrote many electronics and electronic music 'how to' books and contributed to and edited various UK electronics themed magazines. One of those magazines was the hugely popular Practical Electronics, which from around 1968 I would buy monthly without fail. It was in Practical Electronics in the early 1970s that I first saw the original guitar effect circuit (though not one of Fred's designs) that I adapted as the now infamous Gristleizer processor unit. But I did build many of Fred's circuit designs too: little mixers, reverbs, filters and oscillators. His 1972 book 'Electronics in Music' was essential reading for anyone interested in the topic: full of useful audio schematics and circuits, photos of exotic and expensive looking synths, equipment and studios - it was my 'go to' book for years. It's recently been reprinted and is well worth checking out, if just as an historical document of that period.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;">
Having been recorded in the 1960s a lot of Fred's material is very much 'of its time' and by todays standards some would consider it <i>naive</i> sounding, although to me it has a wonderful almost otherworldly quality. His composition and recording techniques would be near impossible to recreate now - even if one were using the same workflow of signal generators, DIY electronics and tape based recording and effects, because I think there is something fundamentally different about the mindset of experimental electronic composers back in those mid 20th century pioneering days - some would call the heyday of the UK experimental electronic music scene. I can't quite pin down what made that mindset different - maybe it was the absence of distraction we inhabitants of the 21st Century suffer so badly from now? I'm not particularly nostalgic for those days, or even their indefinable mindset: progress equals change, the past is another country and so on. I'm just making some general observations about 1960s British experimental electronic music, Musique Concrète, Radiophonics or however you'd like to term it, not just F.C. Judd's music. Back then we in the UK had the BBC Radiophonic workshop producing some of their best works alongside accomplished electronic experimentalists such as David Vorhaus, Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Brian Hodgson and of course Peter Zinovieff and David Cockerell of EMS and many more. </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;">
Relatively affordable tape machines, synthesisers and DIY electronics were popular and readily available - amongst a certain demographic at least. That period was a time of great innovation and change and at the tail end of a purely analogue era. But it was also before the widespread use of 'off the shelf' computers in music, before synchronised tape machines, synchronised rhythm units and Basslines, before digital audio and decades before MIDI, DAWs and plug-ins… but they still managed to produce some truly exceptional sound works full of expression and energy.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;">
To a degree I think I'm allowed to include some of my early solo works and definitely Throbbing Gristle's first album within that category. I'm not blowing my own trumpet (that's Cosey's department) and I was nowhere near as well equipped or technically accomplished as those I've mentioned but I feel my own and TG's recordings from the early 1970s' have a similar nebulous energy within them. In my recordings it was partly my enthusiasm at just being able to successfully (and repeatedly) record, manipulate and replay my own DIY electronic discursive meanderings which was somehow supernaturally and permanently impregnated into the oxide of the tape, or am I just hearing it that way through the mists of time? I doubt somehow that few musicians today could record material using just 1960s' techniques and still achieve those kinds of results and reactions, but like I said: there was a different mindset then. And I'm not saying anyone <i>should</i> or would even want to sound exactly like <i>that</i>, it's just another observation about <i>where</i> we as electronic experimentalists were <i>then</i>, so to speak. And I've no doubt in 50 years time people will be making similar observations about this period in the timeline of experimental music.</div>

In June 2012, the I Dream of Wires team visited the Norfolk UK studio of pioneering industrial and synthpop musicians Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, founding members of seminal outfits Throbbing Gristle, Industrial Records, and Chris & Cosey, to name but a few. We interviewed Chris Carter about his long history with DIY electronics, modular synthesizers, and the role they've played in his storied musical career. Busy putting the finishing touches on X-TG's recently released "Desertshore / The Final Report," an album initially intended to be Throbbing Gristle's final recording, Carter expressed his enthusiasm for the current crop of eurorack modular synthesizer modules, and how he integrates them with modern tabletop FX units, to create a present-day, cutting-edge revision of his early Throbbing Gristle set up. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://idreamofwires.org">http://idreamofwires.org</a><br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/idreamofwiresdocumentary">http://www.facebook.com/idreamofwiresdocumentary</a></p>Chris Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00229498145014919335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518035575104885935.post-5800454821753162992012-11-21T08:17:00.002+00:002012-11-21T08:17:52.710+00:00DESERTSHORE / THE FINAL REPORT<span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Industrial Records is proud to announce the much anticipated TWO album release <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />DESERTSHORE / THE FINAL REPORT, a unique collaboration by<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Chris Carter, Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and Cosey Fanni Tutti.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This is a two album release celebrating both the progress inherent in change<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />and the fulfilment of two exceptional, yet separate projects.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Available from 26th November 2012</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />‘</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Desertshore</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">’<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The ‘Desertshore’ project is a 're-imagined' cover version of </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Nico’s</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: LucidaGrande, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> seminal 1970 album first conceived by the late Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson in Berlin 2006.

In case you don’t know, our Desertshore project is a cover version of Nico’s entire 1970 seminal Desertshore album. ‘TG’s Desertshore - The Final Report’ (</span><span style="font:11px Verdana-Italic; "><em>to give it its full title</em></span><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; ">) was conceived by Sleazy on a long flight from Bangkok to Berlin in the winter of 2006, and we’ve been recording elements of the album since then. <br /><br />And since then a lot happened…<br />Most of you probably know some of the story and some of you may know most of the story: Genesis walked out on TG at the beginning of the 2010 tour in November (</span><span style="font:11px Verdana-Italic; "><em>we still have no idea why!</em></span><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; ">) and we three attempted to recover from that disaster with a couple of X-TG shows. Feeling both deflated at TG ending and elated that he didn't have to work with Genesis again Sleazy returned to Bangkok later that month to work on Desertshore using new gear he’d bought for the project and to begin recording the guest vocalists. He died before he worked on a single note.<br /><br />2011 was probably our busiest year since touring as Chris & Cosey in the 1980s' and 90s' and honestly we're not sure why this should be. You'd think as you get older things would begin to slow down a bit, but they haven't. Ironically we've also had to turn down more offers, projects and shows than ever before - we've felt close to burn-out a few times last year, after all we're only human and there are only 24 hours in a day, but we got through it, just. <br />All that aside, last year we managed to get all our Desertshore guest vocalists recorded for the album, some were done here at our studio, some in Europe and a few in the USA. Everyone we asked to collaborate said yes and everyone has done a fabulous vocal, Sleazy would be very happy. Sleazy could bluff for England and although when asked "how's the album coming along Sleazy?" he'd appease us with a "fine, I'll have some new mixes ready soon" it transpires that most of the work done on Desertshore was either done here in Norfolk by the three of us or stopped being done by Sleazy in Bangkok sometime in 2009. Oh Sleazy, Sleazy…</span><span style="font:9px Verdana, serif; "> </span><span style="font:9px Verdana, serif; color:#666666;">* see update below</span><span style="font:9px Verdana, serif; "><br /></span><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; "><br />Which brings us to now…<br />All of the Desertshore material that was in Ableton Live (Sleazy's DAW of choice) has been re-conformed for Logic Pro (our DAW of choice) - a laborious process! To say these are early days would be a gross understatement, there is still a mountain of work to do - for a start we're still trying to formulate six years worth of existing recordings, audio sketches, rough mixes, scribbled notes, endless lists and recalling things suggested at many, many 'Desertshore discussions' had over a cuppa or three. <br /><br />Our (self-imposed) schedule is to have the album finished by July for release late 2012 - maybe that's being optimistic, who knows? but we do have a career outside TG and we'd like to get back to it at some point.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font:9px Verdana, serif; color:#666666;">* update - Feb 2012:<br />Apologies to Sleazy… after a few more of Sleazy’s hard drives had been uncovered in Bangkok and sent directly to us we found a batch of ‘in progress’ Desertshore material he had been working on during late 2010.</span>Chris Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00229498145014919335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518035575104885935.post-37453242523759021132011-11-05T09:50:00.000+00:002011-11-05T09:54:45.806+00:00The Guardian - Music Weekly Podcast<span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;"><img src="http://www.chrisandcosey.com/files/GuardianCulture_1.png" alt="" height="auto" width="auto" border="1<br />" /> </span><span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;">Me and Cosey Fanni Tutti discuss Throbbing Gristle and the remastered album reissues with Alexis Petridis, music critic for The Guardian.<br /></span><span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; font-weight:bold; color:#000000;font-weight:bold; "><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/audio/2011/nov/04/music-weekly-throbbing-gristle-dancehall-audio?CMP=twt_fd" rel="external" title="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/audio/2011/nov/04/music-weekly-throbbing-gristle-dancehall-audio?CMP=twt_fd">CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE GUARDIAN WEBITE TO LISTEN</a></span><span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;"><br /></span>Chris Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00229498145014919335noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518035575104885935.post-7106430073255652652011-11-01T07:49:00.000+00:002011-11-01T08:05:17.405+00:00In Conversation With TG, at Rough Trade<span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;"><img src="http://www.chrisandcosey.com/files/rtshops_1.png" alt="" height="auto" width="auto" border="1<br />" /> WED 2ND NOV, 7PM<br />To celebrate the release of the remastered </span><span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.throbbing-gristle.com/" rel="external" title="http://www.throbbing-gristle.com/">TG back catalogue</a></span><span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;"> Cosey and myself are doing an ‘In-Store’ at Rough Trade East in London on 2nd November.

So each of the five vinyl albums comes with an 8-page booklet, as do the five double-CD editions - which include different 8-page booklets to the vinyl. The five digital albums also include 6-page PDF booklets, which are different from the vinyl and CD booklets. So as you can see, this project meant the not inconsiderable task of remastering 20 different album masters, compiling, editing and laying out 100 pages of graphics and photos, and reconstructing (visually remastering) fifteen different 20-year old album covers.<br /><br />In the past this amount of workload for this type of project would have been split between myself, Cosey, Sleazy and Mute (as with TGV, TG24 etc.). But having left Mute last year, and with Sleazy refusing to work from the afterlife, Cosey and myself decided to undertake the bulk of the work ourselves. Although I guess you may be asking yourself why didn’t we ‘farm out’ some, or all of the work to an outside design/production company? Well there are a number of issues to consider that would be familiar to anyone running an independent label. Obviously a major factor for not using an outside company (or even friends/acquaintances) would be the considerable additional costs for so much high quality production work. But also… historically TG (and Chris & Cosey) have functioned independently in as many areas as possible and between us we have acquired an extensive skill-set to cope with producing these kinds of projects. In fact you name it and one of us has probably done it, or would be willing to learn how to do it. But… this approach also has its drawbacks, as we’ve become ‘control freaks’ and any work we do assign to outsiders or non-TG-extended-family ends up going through endless revisions, tweaks, adjustments and rewrites… or is just rejected. Years ago we realised that for the majority of what we ‘do’ it’s often a lot faster and more cost effective in the long run to just “do it yourself”.<br /><br />Which brings me back to the TG catalogue. Because, the remastered albums aside, there are still a few choice projects left to be released on Industrial Records from our reacquired Throbbing Gristle archive. The first of these will be TG’s Desertshore project in 2012, which me and Cosey (and a few friends) have been continuing to work on this year, between the TG remastering. Hopefully in 2013 we should be in a position to release the ‘TG in Berlin’ project (recorded 2005-06) and recordings and videos from our TG 2009 USA tour.<br /><br />Well now I say ‘hopefully’ because Cosey and me also have to factor in our own non-TG projects, which are many. Even without all the TG work we’ve done, this year has been unbelievably busy for us - with Chris & Cosey and Carter Tutti performances, projects, collaborations and remixes and of course Cosey’s own successful Art career. Basically what I’m saying is be patient and bear with us, we’re doing the best we can but we’re only human and are trying to avoid burning out to soon.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font:8px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;">btw: Genesis’ contribution to the ‘TG Remastered’ project was to offer some photos from his archive, which we agreed to… but he sent us nothing.<br /><br />Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Chris Carter are his alone and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Industrial Records Ltd.</span>Chris Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00229498145014919335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518035575104885935.post-34532615668156085422011-09-29T08:22:00.000+01:002013-04-27T13:29:58.374+01:00Last Chris & Cosey/Carter Tutti performances of this year<img src="http://www.chrisandcosey.com/files/tn_bodiesbabel_1_1.png" alt="" height="auto" width="auto" border="1<br />" /><br /><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; font-weight:bold; color:#999999;font-weight:bold; "><br />Carter Tutti at Sonic City Festival - Kortrijk, Belgium</span><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;"><br />Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter will be performing their new CARTER TUTTI/HARMONIC COACTION set at the Liars curated Sonic City Festival, Belgium on </span><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; font-weight:bold; color:#000000;font-weight:bold; ">29th October</span><span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;">.

But on a recent trip to Norfolk in the United Kindom, we got the chance to spend some time at the country house of the music making powerhouse – and long time couple – Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti.<br /><br />Not only did Carter and Tutti change the entire electronic music game as founding members of the legendary avant-garde industrial group Throbbing Gristle: they continued their love affair with music, gear and each other over the next 30-odd years with their mind-blowing, ahead-of-the-curve approach to drum machines, sampling and all manner of electronic skullduggery.<br /><br />Between the electro-pop of Chris & Cosey, the spooky ambience of Carter Tutti or their continuing aural experiments under their mysterious ‘CTI’ moniker, these two epitomize artistic overachievement and we salute and thank them for it.<br /><br />They took us for a spin around the home studio they’ve been recording in for 25 years, demonstrated some of the bits and pieces they’re using in their current incarnation, performed a special improvised track for us, and taught us how to give an asthmatic cat his daily dosage of medicine."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 9px;"><a href="http://www.vbs.tv/en-gb/watch/motherboard/mbd-vbs-elec-indy-chris-and-cosey">http://www.vbs.tv/en-gb/watch/motherboard/mbd-vbs-elec-indy-chris-and-cosey</a></span>Chris Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00229498145014919335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518035575104885935.post-84060577594860264852011-03-23T16:14:00.003+00:002011-06-04T11:47:03.628+01:00Upcoming Chris & Cosey and Carter Tutti Performances<span style="font:11px Verdana, serif; "><img class="imageStyle" alt="Chris Carter Promo 2011" width="153" height="100" src="http://throbbing-gristle.com/CHRISCARTER/files/page79_blog_entry30-chris-carter-promo-2011.jpg" /><span style="font-size:6px; ">photo by Julie Kane</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font:10px Verdana, serif; color:#000000;">Throughout 2011 myself and Cosey Fanni Tutti will be performing together as Carter Tutti and Chris & Cosey and also collaborating with other artists and musicians.
