{"title":"Chris Carter","description":"\u003cp\u003eChris Carter was born in the City of London on 28 January 1953. In 1967, whilst still at school, Carter played bass guitar in a band called The Dragsters. Carter attended Friern Barnet Grammar School between 1964-1966, before moving on to Winchmore Hill County School which he attended until April 1969. \r\n\r\nHis first solo gig, under the name Waveforms, took place at Thurrock Technical College on 13 March 1975. He then toured the show around the university and college circuit.  \r\n\r\nJohn Lacey told P-Orridge and Tutti who had formed COUM transmissions about Carter and they were immediately intrigued; he sounded perfect for the group. They arranged a meeting, everything clicked, and from then on Carter became a regular visitor to the studio. And so it was, during the summer of 1975, that the COUM story became complicated by, and intertwined with, the TG.\r\n\r\nShortly after the demise of Throbbing Gristle in 1981 Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni-Tutti formed the Conspiracy International record label CTI (with backing from Rough Trade) and began working together as Chris \u0026amp; Cosey and CTI. Initially releasing only music they soon moved into producing video works, and with the help of Doublevision released a number of CTI experimental video films and soundtracks.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"electronic-ambient-remixes-one","title":"Electronic Ambient Remixes One","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eElectronic Ambient Remixes One\u003c\/i\u003e was originally released in 2000 and includes ambient remixes and reinventions of the album \u003ci\u003eThe Space Between. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks from this instrumental series have been used internationally in gallery installations, performed at numerous electronic music festivals, featured on TV and radio broadcasts and within Hollywood movie trailers.\u003ci\u003e Electronic Ambient Remixes One\u003c\/i\u003e is now available for the first time on double violet coloured vinyl as well as CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mute","offers":[{"title":"Purple | LP","offer_id":50460834595147,"sku":"1116961","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50460833677643,"sku":"1116958","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e41f8c73-1e20-49f8-a58a-2c4e4d1e4fda_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727238964"},{"product_id":"muzik-fantastique","title":"Muzik Fantastique!","description":"\u003cp\u003e1993’s \u003cem\u003eMuzik Fantastique!\u003c\/em\u003e receives its first ever vinyl issue.
