Created in Islington, London, Britain on January 28, 1953, Carter became enchanted with high-tech tools early in his youngsters. When he was just a son, Carter spent hours using a tape deck; his dad would record family members discussions and add sound files to them, actually changing rates of speed. At age 13, Carter fell deeply in love with mixing electronic noises. Carter became a member of a garage music group known as the Dragsters in 1967. A yr later, Carter got drugs and noticed Red Floyd perform in a dive in North London. The group’s visible demonstration and acid-damaged pop remaining Carter spellbound.

Orpheus Lites ultimately turned into a fundamental element of their biggest customer, the clothing Willa. Carter became a member of Willa like a keyboardist, but he remaining in 1974. In 1975, Carter produced his single debut, carrying out at Thurrock Complex College in Britain as Waveforms, making use of synthesizers and keyboards. Then met long term bandmates Genesis P-Orridge (vocals) and Cosey Fanni Tutti (acoustic guitar), both of whom had been in COUM Transmissions, a efficiency artwork ensemble that disgusted and disturbed British viewers by torturing their genitals and licking their vomit on-stage. With the help of Carter, COUM Transmissions progressed into commercial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. In 1980, Carter released his 1st album, THE AREA Between. Throbbing Gristle split up a yr later on, and Carter began collaborating with Fanni Tutti as Chris & Cosey and Innovative Technology Insitute, in any other case referred to as CTI. In addition they created their very own record label, Conspiracy International. Carter moved into the journalism field within the ’90s, composing music evaluations; he also designed recording addresses with Fanni Tutti and remixed two tracks from Erasure.

#	Quote
1	You long for writers like Neil Gaiman. His vision is so personal and idiosyncratic, and unexpected.
2	I had been to Vancouver a few years prior to bringing The X-Files (1993) there ... so, as a filmmaker, it wasn't a discovery for me because I had friends who knew the area and had shot there before. ...Vancouver really became my home away from home, and to this day I still own a house there.
3	The television business changed a lot from when I did The X-Files (1993) to when we did Harsh Realm (1999). Television took on the characteristics of the feature film industry, where, if the show didn't open 'big' out-of-the-gate...it was canceled, immediately.
4	It takes crazy attention to detail if you want something to be good.
5	People thought the storyline and characters for The X-Files (1993) made it a 'dark' show, but I never saw it that way. I always thought Mulder and Scully were the light in dark places.
6	Fox canceling Harsh Realm (1999) wasn't a surprise to me because it was a very expensive show...it was just disappointing the series didn't have a chance to prove itself.
7	The day I swan around in expensive suits is the day I hope someone puts a bullet in my head.
