Renowned composer Simon Fisher Turner presents
his brand new album, ‘Instability of the Signal’,
released via Mute.

Recorded by Simon Fisher Turner and Music
Producers Guild Awards winner Francine Perry, this
13-track album is an intricate exploration of sound,
inspired by the creative minds of Breda Beban, Hrvoje
Horvatic, and poet Harold Pinter, whose verses,
‘Democracy’ and ‘The Special Relationship’, feature on
the record. It pulls together four strands of Fisher
Turner’s sonic experimentation, which he identifies as
‘Slivers’, ‘Sounds’, ‘Strings’, and ‘Singing’.

The ‘slivers’ are tiny snippets of audio he used as
source material for the tracks, all originally created by
Salford Electronics (aka David Padbury) and reworked
by Fisher Turner into foundations for entire tracks. The
record also includes beautiful string arrangements by
the Elysian Collective, who have toured with Pulp and
feature on the latest releases from The Last Dinner
Party and Pet Shop Boys.

Like Fisher Turner’s long and varied career, ‘Instability
of The Signal’ is an accumulation of experience,
effervescent memories, sounds and textures. It
contains hidden learnings. It is about how restorative
singing of ourselves - and to ourselves - can be but is
also a document of times and places delivered in
beautifully impressionistic palettes of sounds and
voices. It is also another document of Fisher Turner’s
remarkable life and unshakeable curiosity about
sound.

LP includes extensive sleeve notes.
