- Nurse With Wound
-
Nurse With Wound ist eine 1978 vom britischen Musiker Steven Stapleton gegründete Avantgarde-Band.
Steven Stapleton, der zuvor als Roadie bei verschiedenen Krautrock-Bands, unter anderem Guru Guru und Kraan, arbeitete, gründete Nurse With Wound, als er ein Angebot von Nicky Rogers erhielt, ein Aufnahmestudio zu benutzen. Zusammen mit John Fothergill und Heeman Pathak begann Stapleton die Aufnahmen, die jedoch ohne Planung und sehr spontan entstanden. So produzierten Nurse With Wound das erste Album Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An Umbrella, das in einer Auflage von 500 Stück erschien.
Im Laufe der Jahre entwickelten sich Nurse With Wound zu einem Solo-Projekt von Stapleton, der mit wechselnden Musikern (Colin Potter, Andrew Liles u.a.) oder allein weitere Alben produzierte. Dabei entstanden auch Kooperationen mit anderen Bands (Coil, Cyclobe, Foetus, Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa, Legendary Pink Dots, Lemon Kittens, Organum, Sol Invictus, Stereolab, Volcano The Bear, Whitehouse). Vor allem mit David Tibet von Current 93 arbeitete Stapleton auf fast jedem Album zusammen.
1989 zog Steven Stapleton mit seiner Frau Diana Rogerson ins County Clare, Irland. Der dunkle Stil früherer Werke wandelte sich zu einem eher minimalistischen Stil. Diese Fokussierung erlaubt Stapleton pro Jahr etwa drei Alben aufzunehmen.
Die Musik ist von Krautrock, Surrealismus, Dadaismus, Musique concrète, Noise, Ambient, Free Jazz, Bruitismus beeinflusst, gepaart mit Stapletons Humor. Das Layout der Alben wird von Stapleton selbst gemacht, der sich unter dem Pseudonym Babs Santini auch als grafischer Künstler betätigt.
