Cosey Fanni Tutti announces new album ‘Delia Derbyshire: The Myths And The Legendary Tapes’

Cosey Fanni Tutti has announced a new album called ‘Delia Derbyshire: The Myths And The Legendary Tapes’.

The 15-song collection serves as the official soundtrack to Caroline Catz’ acclaimed 2020 film of the same name, which offered an “intimate portrayal” of the late composer, musician and sonic experimentalist Delia Derbyshire.

Fanni Tutti explained of the project: “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.”

Additionally, the upcoming album will feature a range of “audio explorations and experiments” that eventually led Fanni Tutti to the final soundtrack for the Delia Derbyshire film.

‘Delia Derbyshire: The Myths And The Legendary Tapes’ is set for release on September 16 via the artist’s own record label, Conspiracy International. A digital edition will also be available as a Dolby ATMOS mix via Apple Music.
