Biography
During the 2010s, Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle joined forces with Factory Floor’s Nik Void under the name Carter Tutti Void for multiple live shows and recordings. Their improvisational work, documented on projects such as the 2015 release f(x), combined throbbing beats, abrasive feedback, and distorted vocal fragments while straddling techno, industrial, dark ambient, and post-punk territories.
The three musicians first worked together at Mute Records’ Short Circuit Festival in 2011, delivering a set of brooding yet propulsive pieces that drew equally from each participant’s primary band. Mute issued that performance as the album Transverse in 2012. Their debut studio effort, f(x), arrived three years later and preserved the spontaneous character of the initial meeting; Industrial Records, the label founded by Throbbing Gristle, handled its release. Additional appearances followed, among them a 2017 concert in Hull tied to a COUM Transmissions retrospective. The group reconvened once more in 2019 for what was described as their last engagement, the studio album Triumvirate, issued on Carter and Tutti’s own Conspiracy International imprint.
