When Frank Fischer is composing and making music in his Hamburg studio it develops into swaying rhythms, magical melodies and earthy arrangements: music that is full of his yearning to be in far off climes and the wistful feeling of distance. Frank Fischer considers that which guides him in his work to be inexpressible, to be an unfathomable creative force of whose presence the Buddhists, too, - known for their close attachment to nature – have been convinced for thousands of years. “As a composer, you are simply a tool, a channel for a universal flow of energy.” This realisation of this universal creative force hit Frank in the studio whilst he was composing. In the studio the bass guitarist and keyboard player ‘paints’ those landscapes. Heavy bass, rich guitar sounds, exotic melodies from bamboo pipes and synthesisers combine to form the characteristic “Frank Fischer sound”. It takes the warm colours of steep crevasses, the suffocating summer heat, the smell of gnarled wood and the shape of majestic mountain plateaux and expresses them in music with a seemingly never-ending “broad” horizon. This music constitutes a natural challenge to the listeners – spoilt by their urban surroundings – to lose themselves in impressive emotions and resounding landscapes. Frank Fischer himself refers to his music as “native”, adding that “for me ‘native’ means uninhibited, natural and, primarily, genuine, therefore free from intellectual ballast.
