Pianist and composer creating analogue soundworlds of cinematic depth and immersive emotion.
With her work spanning film composition, orchestrations and ballet, Fisher draws listeners into an inner space of storytelling connection that references everything from classical composition to singer-songwriting and visual art practices. Anchoring her recordings in the tactile warmth of musicians playing in a single room together, her resulting music invites deep listening and explores the quiet complexity of life’s myriad experiences.
“Piano always gave me a sense of belonging that no other form of expression did,” she says. “From the very beginning, it felt like my natural language. It lets me explore emotion without words and it’s a place where I can process things quietly, to feel my way through in a private world.” - Megan Perry Fisher
Penseés the debut album is out now.
Fisher began working on the yearning introspection of her 2023 debut album Pensées. Partly recorded in New York’s 19th Century opera house, Hudson Hall, the record is full of time-worn, tactile warmth that grounds Fisher’s lusciously layered string harmonies and plaintive piano melodies. “You can hear the chair, the pedal, my breath and sometimes small, happy accidents like birds singing outside the studio window,” she says. “There’s often a quiet melancholy running through the music softened by a sense of femininity and lightness. It feels atmospheric and cinematic, like a world you can step into.”
