Morgan Fisher at Super Deluxe

My love for all thing’s organic has been refreshed. With recent development’s of digital music and the launch of the ‘Video iPod’ and Logic Pro 7, it’s comforting to know that musician’s / composer’s such as Morgan Fisher, still rank high in present day musical influence.

My passion for the organ and all it cousins came from a time playing on my aunties electric organ. A time when Stevie Wonder would be blasting out of Dad’s stereo, when they were out shopping (glad to here his re-emergencece this month) With artist like Jamie Lidel ‘Multiplicity’ and Bob Moog’s ‘documentary’ film released this year, there seems a desire close to Morgan’s perceived intentions - to create music that sounds like it was created with ‘clever’ compositing software, but it’s the live performance that is full of raw creativity.

Morgan’s love for duck’s introduces us to his first of two sets. Using tools such as an Electroplex to sample his voice and then introduce each instrument to build up the track, it’s easy to see where contemporaries such as Mathew Herbert tip there cultural brims to.

As the set develops, it becomes apparent the diversity of the crowd here. From true die hard fans lying in the background to eager bunnies (present) glued to each finger. As the intensive LFO’s break the speakers polycasing, somehow only wooden seems appropriate, like how the surface ages beautifully. Various mood’s range from ambient flutter ’s to just dirty rude funk, it performances like this, that make me miss all my vinyl locked up in storage.

I think why Morgan continues to thrive in Tokyo (of which he’s be resident for over twenty years) is the diverse love for all synthistized experimental music here in Japan. I hope to see him playing with artist such as Luke Vibert, Sigo Ros as well as undiscovered crazy local bands found busking on the streets.

All would benefit from his background and calm approach to his creations.
