about
Morgan Fisher is an English keyboard player/composer/producer resident in Tokyo, whose unusual career has included a remarkable variety of activities. Currently he produces music in his compact, high-tech home studio, using samplers and computers to produce a highly individual blend of ambient/world/minimal music with a refined and contemplative quality. Influences that appear in his work may range from Miles Davis to Terry Riley, Erik Satie, Nino Rota, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Harold Budd, and Augustus Pablo. A rich yet delicate brew, created through his use of obscure software and very shiny recording technology. He's been at it since the late 60's - in those days samplers and MIDI were not even dreamed of, yet he managed through the laborious use of tape loops and early synthesizers to produce numerous recordings, a nicely contradictory mix of spirituality and a humourous punk mentality. Often his career had him treading the boards with some of the world leaders in rock music. These experiences were enjoyable and exciting ways to learn his craft, but they were collaborations rather than direct expressions of his musical individuality. Since he turned 50 on the first day of the new millennium, he feels more on track than ever. His work (both in sound and in visual images) is harking back to the very first things that interested him as a rather introverted boy growing up in London. The beauty of nature glimpsed through a microscope; little creatures brought home in a jar
