Just returned form our jolly jaunt to Italy during which we had a wonderful time in Venice and Pisa. Venice is an amazing city, plus we met up with some friends there which made our stay even more enjoyable... and the show completely sold out too! I have posted a few photos on my Flikr pages. The performances were very well received, even though we changed our Carter Tutti set slightly (from our previous LA 'quad' show) and decided to play it as an hour-long continuos set, without any breaks. Which was a bit of a gamble as it doesn't give the audience a chance to applaud between songs, but hey... we're not a rock n' roll band. Our 're-tweaked' video projections also got a very positive reaction and looked amazing. And yes... we will be releasing the visuals on DVD, hopefully this year.
Our CTI (Conspiracy International) back-catalogue has finally started to appear on iTunes and a few albums are now available to buy: click this C&C iTunes link. It's a vast catalogue of albums and we have no control in what order they appear but one of the first is a new Chris & Cosey compilation: COLLECTED WORKS 1981-2000, it features rare & hard to find C&C tracks from the last 19 years: full details are on the CarterTutti.com site. My own solo albums will also be available soon too. Click this link for what's currently available.
The new Carter Tutti album is coming along nicely and not really like nothing we've done before.
I've also just heard that the first part of our CTI download catalogue should be going online shortly.
Just got a new Quad G5, very happy (an early Xmas pressie to myself but paid for by Sony Columbia work, and thanks' to Apple for such a generous discount). Very busy prepping new & old material for the TG Berlin shows and post-recording sessions. We're playing one show in four channel/quad so trying out lots of interesting placement ideas. Cosey's up to her eyes collating, cataloguing and packing our TG archive material for the Berlin Art exhibition, it's gonna be amazing. The C&C+CTI catalogue (ALL of it!) has now been sent off to be magically transformed into downloadable files for iTunes and such sites... hurrah! We've had to close our on-line web store due to 'technical difficulties'... Booo!. But it will be back in the New Year, just bigger and better! In the meantime most of our current catalogue can be found on Amazon and in all good records stores.
And if I don't see you in Berlin Happy Xmas and New Year!
OK, it's official: TG are playing two concerts, staging a major TG Art exhibition, releasing our first brand new studio album in 25 years and premiering the long awaited 'Live at The Astoria' DVD... and it all starts happening in Berlin in December! Many more details soon.
My 1980 'THE SPACE BETWEEN' album is now available to buy via Apple iTunes.
We never seem to get any time off these days, always tired, we really need a break, or better still a holiday!
A few tracks on the new TG album have to be re-recorded/remastered, bah!
Continuing to encode metadata for the C&C catalogue downloads.
Thinking about buying new G5 Macs, we're still using our aging, lowly G4s.
Music from my 'Ear One' album has been used in the trailer for the new movie 'Into The Blue', which is nice!
Spent the whole month mixing and mastering the new TG abum. Just begun encoding our entire C&C catalogue with the metadata needed for uploading to iTunes. This is going to take some time...
I've been engineering and sonic polishing (mastering) a collaboration between Cosey and Millimetre. Industrialising ideas and rhythms for new TG album and show - which is sounding good! The 'Caged' album I recorded with Ian Boddy is now available to download at iTunes, Napster, MSN and more. Just watched Old Boy on DVD... brilliant!
We recently returned from the opening of Cosey's successful Van Abbe exhibition in Holland, we had a wonderful time, good food and great company. After a bit of studio maintenance I'm helping Cosey prepare material for her Cardiff exhibition. We are also recording material for Carter Tutti and TG this month.
Chris & Cosey, Carter Tutti and TG tracks are now available on iTunes.
We've just posted our EVENT HORIZON list-cum-diary page on the Carter Tutti site.
There's a good review of the Carter Tutti 'CABAL' album in the October issue of THE WIRE.
Have also begun transferring our decaying video archive onto DVD (v long term project).
Audio mastering for the TGV DVD is finally completed.
Our CTI CD catalogue will now be distributed by CARGO RECORDS.
