Artists he has played keyboards with include The Love Affair (#1 hit in 1968), Mott the Hoople (produced by David Bowie), Yoko Ono, Queen, and members of R.E.M and Y.M.O. These days he may be called upon to compose stylish TV and film music, create meditation music in a Zen temple, or jam with classic rock and blues bands. He has even played samba in Brazil and world music in China.\r\n\nAll his life he has pursued photography as an art, as well as documenting his musical life using still and movie cameras. Since moving to Japan in 1985 he has specialised in and refined his own style of abstract photography, a kind of visual music, or \u201clight painting\u201d involving spontaneous, free movement of the camera and/or the light source. He utilises the finest digital equipment to create his images, which display a depth and subtlety more akin to painting than photography.\r\n\nEqually close to his creative heart are his solo live performances, improvised on a variety of rare vintage and modern keyboards while projecting his light paintings; they are a true synthesis of sound+light \u2013 unpredictable, uplifting, and inspiring.\r\n\nLinks:\r\n\nMott The Hoople - https://youtu.be/-vLRnkkMrHE (The 1974 US Tour with Morgan Fischer YouTube)\r\n\nWebsite: http://www.morgan-fisher.com/ (http://www.morgan-fisher.com/)\r\n\nVideographer and creative collaborator -https://about.me/kylemccloskey ( Kyle McKloskey)\r\n\nConnect with Sarah here on https://www.instagram.com/sarahfuruya/ (@sarahfuruya on Instragram)!\r\n\nSign up for https://sarahfuruya.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=c163dcff6694c49c243964f28andid=eb7c79a23d (Sarah's newsletter here).\r\n\nhttps://www.sarahfuruya.com/ (https://www.sarahfuruya.com/)\r\n\n\r\n\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/26ad7894-90e5-4f9d-99e5-ca01d6ff9836/2251919-1606360493364-285a1ad8bd4d2.jpg"}
