simon fisher turner: shishapangma

Terre Thaemlitz's Comatonse Recordings presents a cut from English polymath Simon Fisher Turner's 2013 soundtrack to the 1924 film The Epic of Everest. Turner's windswept, quietly pulsating "Shishapangma" is another iterations of a long and colorful oeuvre that has seen him work with an early incarnation of The The, Derek Jarman, and the Portsmouth Sinfonia, not to mention a career in acting that made him a teenage star in the '70s. DJ Sprinkles's gently sub-fueled "Deeperama" mix teases the original's horns to sound something like Peter Zummo doing 11 minutes of the deepest house -- both fathoms-deep and endlessly inspiring.
