CONVERSATION

Simon Fisher Turner & Luke Fowler

Simon Fisher Turner is renowned for his film soundtrack work which started in collaboration with Derek Jarman, for whom he scored many feature films—from Caravaggio (1986), through to Jarman’s final work Blue (1993). Filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler is a long-time admirer of the work of Derek Jarman. In his new film work Being Blue he sought to consider Jarman’s life and work during his time at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness. In this conversation we will talk about Jarman’s films and filmmaking process, with a particular focus on the remarkable use of sound and music.
