"If I Ever sit and think about what all these things are about I‘d go absolutely crazy, lautet einer der intimen Gedanken von COSEY FANNI TUTTI, die sie mit COH / IVAN PAVLOV austauschte. Der machte auf COH Plays Cosey (R-N 091) daraus Musik, Musik, ausschließlich aus Lauten, die aus Cosey Mund stammen, meist gesprochen, teils gesungen, manchmal nur geseufzt, geraunt, dann wieder geschrieen. Er transformiert die Throbbing-Gristle- und Chris & Cosey-Legende - Chris Carter wirkte als Toningenieur und Fotograf mit - in eine Human Beatbox. Einige der Laute werden zu Beats, andere stotternd verhackstückt, verzerrt, verfremdet, wieder andere scheint Cosey in ihrem erstaunlich jungen Tonfall einem unter vier Augen zuzuflüstern, poetische Zeilen wie I am a fish in your soup I am a crow on your roof I am a star from above I am the love... I am the water... I am the fire... I am the mud... the mad... I am not (‚Mad‘), träumerische Gedanken wie Thinking over and over So quietly alone Sinking quietly alone... Sinking Sinking Sinking Never Never Never (‚Sin-king‘) und Alone Quiet Inside Safe and quiet Behind these walls Caressed by silence (‚Inside‘), oder ein philosophisches Fazit wie The lie that surrounds life is as inevitable as it‘s endless And the sadness of that is not sweet (‚Lying‘). Der Sound-Poetry-Ton ist dabei ein mindestens ebenso großer Reiz wie Coseys Worte selbst. ‚Lying‘ lässt COH sie im Eskimo-Stil zu
Schamanenbeat und Trompetengetute und dann als Lalalala-Litanei singen. Und wenn sie mit Technobeatstilettos auf einem herum steppt und Fffffuck It! befiehlt, wird wohl so mancher feuchte Traum wahr." [Bad Alchemy]
"Coh Plays Cosey CD is the first part of an ongoing collaborative project between Ivan Pavlov-COH and Cosey Fanni Tutti known for her solo performances and work with Chris Carter-CTI as well as for being a part of the radical cultural phenomena COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle. Very much a statement rather than just a musical venture, Coh Plays Cosey deals with concepts of honesty, trust, privacy, communication as well as (perception of) sexuality. The work represents a very close, if an intimate, contact between the two, where one (Ivan) was to interpret voice recordings made for him by the other (Cosey) - recordings made in intensely emotional states to establish a dialogue that extends beyond words, beyond intellect. A most private emotional diary of one (Cosey) pronounced to the general public by the other (Ivan). The work has been kept hermetic by Ivan voluntarily restricting his choice of sound exclusively to that originating from the voice recordings, thus preserving the raw quality of his source material. In this explicit sonic adventure Coh Plays Cosey without inhibitions, without fear and without questioning the content submitted. Coh Plays Cosey like an actor - becoming her through his elaborate transformations of the voice. Coh Plays Cosey like a computer game - making his way though the infinite combinations and variety of human expression with ease and sense of fun. Coh Plays Cosey like in sex - fully controlling the process and manifesting the eventual outcome. Coh Plays Cosey is a world of the embarrassingly unspoken made audible, Coh Plays Cosey is the place where there is nothing left to hide." [label info]
