About Me

Malcolm Fisher ,Scottish Musician . Piano/Synth . Piano Solo Albums Dress Part 1, Dress Part 2;Seeds, Hydra (2007) Vocal Music :The French Impressionists: Songs of Innocence Blake (2007) Songs of Experience Blake (2007),Elevators Air(co Sally Titterington)City Scapes (2007) ,with Masako Kodera: Haiku (2006)with Sara Cicenia :Amelia Rosselli(2007 )Founder member of The French Impressionists ,a postpunk jazz/pop group early 1980's , recorded some music for Les Disques du Crepulescule , After some years and personel changes the band suspended activity. "I (Malcolm Fisher) gave up music for a while and eventually moved to Milan where after meeting Sally (Titterington )I resumed my musical career with her encouragement and inspiration.we started organizing art/music events calling these One Word Salons.Our collaboration continues today with Elavators Air and The French impressionistswhere Sal;ly supplies Words and images and sings as well sometimes.. I the started doing jingles and other commercial and non commercial music, However fed up with this I decided to make music for myself and embarked on a series of solo piano albums which gave me the possibility to express myself without comprimises.After this I decided to return to voice work and began working with various singers , no musical genre or language was predjudiced and the result was and is a series of projects/cd's sometimes acoustic sometimes electronic but all with the purpose of proposing an authentic music which I hope may be spiritually reinvigorating.Some examples of the above and new work can be found on a forthcoming new French Impressionists album(Fete) for LTM. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
