Simon Fisher Turner

Simon Fisher Turner is a British multi-hyphenate artist who's worn more creative hats than a royal wedding milliner. Starting as a teen pop star in the 1970s (under the name Simon Turner), he later became the enigmatic voice of post-punk experimentalists The The in their early days. His career blossomed into a fascinating patchwork of film scoring (notably for Derek Jarman's *Blue*), avant-garde sound collages, and deeply personal ambient works that often incorporate field recordings and found sounds. The releases you've listed showcase his signature blend of hauntology and sonic archaeology - whether he's transforming church organ recordings into meditative soundscapes or crafting unsettling audio narratives about brutality and parody. A true sound alchemist, Turner continues to push boundaries in his sixth decade of creation, treating listeners to everything from ASMR-inducing whispers to glorious cacophony that feels like rummaging through history's forgotten audio attic.
