Fisher is a staple of Toronto’s Experimental music community but has also garnered attention for his many collaborations beyond those circles. He has toured and recorded with Caribou and Junior Boys and recently teamed up with the latter’s Jeremy Greenspan on a site-specific album that can only be heard at the Art Gallery of Hamilton alongside William Kurelek‘s harrowing 1965 painting This is the Nemesis. Fisher has also collaborated with legendary artists such as Jaime Branch, Sabir Mateen, Joe McPhee, William Parker, Gerry Hemingway, Anthony Braxton, Laraaji and Fred Frith, releasing records on labels such as Tzadik (as part of Many Arms), Astral Spirits, Cacophonous Revival, Halocline Trance, Chocolate Monk (as a duo with chik white) and Tombed Visions.
This latest recording folds various dimensions of Fisher‘s unique creative demeanour into a single, cohesive sound. Working fluidly with aspects drawn from Ambient Music, Free Improvisation, Jazz and even Extreme Metal and traditional musics, he has crafted his most dynamic and personal statement yet. In addition to showcasing his unique sonic imagination, this vibrant, atmospheric record also demonstrates his prodigious instrumental ability and sculptural vision as a composer. David Psutka (aka ACT!, Egyptrixx, Ceramic TL) plays the role of producer and co-composer here, vividly capturing Fisher‘s sounds while establishing a sense of auditory perspective and movement.
