Jeff Fisher is a SOCAN award-winning Canadian composer, producer, arranger and musician born in Montreal, Quebec. [1] [2] He is probably best known for composing the soundtrack for the original run of the YTV-CINAR horror anthology series, Are You Afraid of the Dark? , and has composed Proteus 2 scores for the other CINAR-produced programs including The Little Lulu Show , The Baskervilles , and Animal Crackers . Fisher worked on two of Leonard Cohen's most successful albums, I'm Your Man , arranging and playing all the music on the hit song "First We Take Manhattan", and its follow up, The Future . He has toured extensively with international recording artists. [3]
In September 1978, Fisher joined Harmonium, a French-Canadian group from Quebec which had started as a folk band, but quickly developed a progressive and symphonic sound. He played keyboards and synthesizer for a year, during which they enjoyed huge popularity. [4] In 1984, he joined UZEB, a jazz band also based in Quebec, and toured internationally with them for two years. [5] Fisher has collaborated with Leonard Cohen, and in 1988 worked on I'm Your Man , arranging and playing all the music on two tracks, "Jazz Police" and "First We Take Manhattan", and arranging and playing keyboards on a third, "Ain't No Cure for Love". Cohen said the arrangement on "...Manhattan" - which was crucial in the development of the album - reminded him of the work of Ennio Morricone. [6] He also worked on Cohen's next album, The Future . Fisher has toured internationally with Céline Dion, Diane Dufresne, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Robert Charlebois and others. [7]
