„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 an addiction that Derbyshire had for snuff), the album is a journey through both Delia and Cosey’s practise – Fanni Tutti spent time researching Derbyshire’s archives (both musical and the more personal ephemera of her life) to create an audio world for Catz’s depiction of the artist to inhabit.

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.”

Wer sich näher mit Derbyshire beschäftigen möchte, der kann das mit Coseys am 18. August bei Faber erscheinenden Buch „RE-SISTERS: The Lives and Recordings of Delia Derbyshire, Margery Kempe and Cosey Fanni Tutti“ tun, in dem Cosey Parallelen zwischen Derbyshire, ihrer eigenen Kunst und Margery Kemp, einer Mystikerin aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, die die erste Autobiographie in englischer Sprache verfasste, aufzeigt.
