Ether was an experimental music project by John Watts, released under the name Fischer-Z.

He recorded a number of songs, featuring only his guitar and voice, and then put them over cut-up beats as a rhythm track.

Watts had also added a filmic touch to the project, he travelled throughout Europe and post-9/11 New York City to find musicians at random and record them using his laptop, in their homes and on the street.

Sarah Vermeersch filmed & edited the process into a road movie.

Ether was further released as a John Watts solo album (see: Ether Music & Film), including the road movie DVD and a CD of tracks from the Ether album that appeared in the movie.
