Where to begin with a figure like Simon Fisher Turner? From teenage stage and screen star to illustrious recording artist for Creation and Mute and score composer of Caravaggio (1986), Blue (1993) and The Epic of Everest (2013) - via a stint with The The and collaborations with Derek Jarman, David Lynch and Tilda Swinton - Turner embodies a distinctly modernist sensibility and boundless curiosity for sound. For A Colourful Storm, discovering Deux Filles, his devilishly intriguing, perfectly camp project with Colin Lloyd-Tucker, was a significant moment in shaping the label’s identity.

Caravaggio began Turner’s long relationship with the BFI, leading to the original score composition for restorations of three silent films, Un Chant D’Amour dir Jean Genet (1950), The Great White Silence dir Herbert Ponting (1924) and The Epic of Everest dir. Captain John Noel (1924, the latter winning an Ivor Novello Award. He has also composed film music for Mike Hodges, Michael Almareyda and Isao Yamada, while his collaborators over the years include Ryuichi Sakamoto, Gina Birch, Klara Lewis and The Elysian Collective. He returns to the stage for A Colourful Storm, following their Under the Arches release, Instability of the Signal (Mute, 2024) and ongoing missives for Touch’s sonic blog, Guerilla Audio.
