Simon Fisher Turner - Picture From Darkness (vinyl LP)
Original soundtrack of the eponymous “musicfilmdream”, in collaboration with video artist Makino Takashi. Created in tribute to late filmmaker Derek Jarman, this musical score was influenced by the early electronic recordings of pioneers like Terry Riley and Morton Feldman. The two artists first presented this work during the 2016 BFI London Film Festival.
British composer Simon Fisher Turner (born 1954 in Dover) is known for his film scores, notably those he conceived for Derek Jarman (from Caravaggio in 1986, also marking the beginning of a long relationship with the British Film Institute, to Jarman's last work Blue in 1993), but also for a series of remastered silent films (Un Chant d'amour by Jean Genet, 1950, The Great White Silence by Herbert Ponting, 1924, The Epic of Everest by Captain John Noel, 1924, for which he received the Ivor Novello Award), for the film Nadja (1994), produced by David Lynch, for the last two films by Mike Hodges, for a documentary on William Eggleston, or for an exhibition by Alyson Shotz. In parallel to his acting career, Turner is the author of a vast discography (film music, solo projects under the name SFT, or in collaboration, notably with Colin Llyod Tucker with the project Deux Filles), mainly on the Mute label, but also on Editions Mego, Soleilmoon, Optical Sound, Tapeworm, or Robin Rimbaud's Sulphur label.
