The Lives and Recordings of Delia Derbyshire, Margery Kempe and Cosey Fanni Tutti

Cosey Fanni Tutti,

About this book

From the acclaimed author of Art Sex Music comes a vital meditation on womanhood, creativity and self-expression, and a revelatory exploration into the lives of three visionary artists.

'A fascinating tale of the interlinking lives of three legendary trailblazers.'
SALENA GODDEN

' Re-sisters emanates an enthralling power.'
JUDE ROGERS, MOJO

'Cosey Fanni Tutti has lived the life and has the stories to tell: not just hers, but those of two other still unheralded female pioneers.'
JON SAVAGE

Myself , Delia and Margery - a trinity of the sacred and profane , sinners and saints of a kind. Three defiant women with our individual, unconventional attitude to life. Untameable spirits, progressive thinkers living within the inherent societal constraints of our times.

In 2018, boundary-breaking visual and sonic artist Cosey Fanni Tutti received a commission to write the soundtrack to a film about Delia Derbyshire, the pioneering electronic composer who influenced the likes of Aphex Twin and the Chemical Brothers. While researching Delia's life, Cosey became immersed in Derbyshire's story and uncovered some fascinating parallels with her own life. At the same time Cosey began reading about Margery Kempe, the 15th century mystic visionary who wrote the first English language autobiography.

Re-sisters is the story of three women consumed by their passion for life, a passion they expressed through music, art and lifestyle; they were undaunted by the consequences they faced in pursuit of enriching their lives, and fiercely challenged the societal and cultural norms of their time.

'An impeccably researched meditation on womanhood as viewed through the lives of three firebrands.'
FIONA STURGES, GUARDIAN

'Awe-inspiring. Read these revelatory portraits: this book is for anybody who wants to discover the work of three women who, without fanfare, have enriched our world.'
ROBERT WYATT

'Passionate, original and fiercely defiant.'
RUPERT THOMSON
