Simon Fisher Turner
I like to make music and noise for all sorts of occasions.
Recently my companions have been Klara Lewis and Sandro Kopp.
I collaborate constantly everyday. I have a soundblog called Guerrilla Audio.
It changes every two weeks then evaporates. Sound and silence. Noise and chatter. It’s probably pretty new stuff. I record constantly as I live.
At the moment I’m completing music for a film by Takashi Makino. It’s a homage to BLUE by Derek Jarman.
I shall experiment this evening and play whatever comes to mind quietly.
Be calm and well
Peacefulness
