Jeffrey Fisher

Jeffrey Fisher pursued excellence as a new age composer while thriving in multiple disciplines outside music. His paintings appeared in museums and galleries, and he released volumes of poetry along with the volume T'ai Chi Basics, an examination of Chinese philosophy and martial arts. Experience teaching T'ai Chi Chuan and offering therapeutic bodywork—acupressure, Reiki, and reflexology—shaped the albums he created expressly to support such practices, among them Moon Song, One Hundred and Eight, Clouds, The Healing, and Angels of the Rays.

Southern California was both his birthplace and childhood home. At Pomona College he concentrated on writing, music, and acting; later he enrolled at the New York University School of the Arts and other schools, sampling an eclectic range of subjects. In Buffalo, New York, he first performed rock drumming, moved to guitar, then returned to California to play bass in a jazz ensemble of his own. He completed a certificate program in composing and arranging at the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles and maintained private studies thereafter. During the 1990s he moved to New Mexico, devoting himself to painting and composition. In 1996 he composed the score for Triumph of the Spirit to accompany a series of canvases by Charles Collins; the recording reached international markets for the first time in 2007.
