Simon Fisher Turner is a composer, producer and recording artist based in London, England. Originally a teen pop idol in the early seventies, Simon went on to demonstrate unprecedented sonic valor across the course of an impressive career that has included six soundtracks for Derek Jarman, three solo albums for Mute Records and a vast miscellany of other projects, from art installations to music for film and TV.
Possibly the least didactic musician on the planet, he asks questions and opens doors at every turn. With decades worth of hands on experience to draw from, SFT is almost unique in having gone from trite pop to extreme sound freakery and out the other side into a mesmerizing field of his own.
