Colin Farish is a composer and pianist fluent in many diverse musical languages. The wide scope of his influences are represented in his forty album discography of original music; including sixteen ensemble recordings, ten albums of his solo piano compositions, three albums of jazz standards and two musicals. For fifteen years Colin owned and operated Stillwater Sound recording studios. For eight of those years his studio was located in the Presidio Chapel of San Francisco where he recorded numerous CDs and produced dozens of concert events.

Farish is currently planning a suite of solo piano concerts in 2016 in support of his latest double album, Fantasies, Etudes, Nocturnes and Waltzes. “Solo piano allows me to connect intimately with an audience and share the deep listening experience that so inspires me musically and creatively.” Although Mr. Farish has had countless instrumental and vocalist collaborators over the years, (many of them Grammy award winning artists), composing and writing is closest to his heart.

He toured the West coast and Hawaii extensively from age three to nine, performing solo and accompanying his father, a classically trained baritone. Growing up surrounded by performers, his love for improvisational jazz and the structural complexity of classical music informed his pursuit for innovative musical expression. At eighteen he moved to India for a period of total immersion in the music and culture of the East. “Absorbing the profoundly beautiful and sophisticated rhythms and melodies of Indian music, and learning to appreciate the healing and spiritual dimension of spontaneous music creation, encouraged me to develop a more integrated approach to my playing and writing.”

Farish’s voracious muse has engendered a baffling array of projects. From award winning documentary films (Gifts of Grief, Bringing Creation Back Together, The Salt Song Trail), dance performances (Ocean), compositions for both small and large ensembles (Chanticleer, Worn Chamber, SoVoSo), orchestral and symphonic commissions (Aga Khan’s North American Celebration), jazz trio, quartet and solo piano and piano duet recordings (Grammy winners Paul McCandless, Airto Moreira, Glen Velez, David Darling, Rachel Bagby, John Carlos Perea, Ustad Sulthan Khan, Throat Singers From Tuva, Grammy nominee Weber Iago), Farish works in multiple genres, formats, and styles.
