Music From Films You Should Have Seen (CD)

Simon Fisher Turner - Music From Films You Should Have Seen (CD)
Three musics for films and installation (by Jean Genet, Derek Jarman and Cynthia Beatt)—one of the most beautiful albums by Simon Fisher Turner.
Limited edition of 300.

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.
