British composer, sound designer, and actor Simon Fisher Turner has explored many avenues throughout his lengthy, multi-faceted career. Much like Scott Walker, he found early success as a pop star during his teenage years before moving in an increasingly avant-garde direction. Following a 1973 debut released during the height of his fame as a TV star, he briefly joined The The during the early '80s, then released avant-pop as part of the projects Deux Filles and Jeremy's Secret. He worked with director Derek Jarman on several lauded film scores, beginning with Caravaggio (1986). While he's occasionally returned to pop music, the majority of Turner's output has consisted of soundtrack work and experimental soundscapes, including collaborations with Klara Lewis (2018's Care) and ceramicist/author Edmund de Waal (A Quiet Corner in Time, 2020). Instability of the Signal, an album of sparse, intricate art-pop songs, appeared in 2024.
Simon Fisher Turner has also released music as a member of The The, Loveletter, The Hangovers, Deux Filles, and The King of Luxembourg.
