For some reason this track makes me think of fairgrounds. I was keen to start it off with that sort-of euphoric 90s synth sound because it seemed very appropriate for the sort of feeling I was trying to get across.

Blind Theatre

North was the track that made my producer want to do an album with me. The first incarnation of it came about when I was asked to write an 'epic' piece of orchestral music for a dance show. That never came to anything so I adapted it for the album. It ended up as more of a orchestral/rock hybrid sound with a mixture of ebow, strings, guitars, drums and synth bass. It all grew around the piano part, which I wrote first.

I had a lot of fun doing this, my interpertation of Hans Zimmer's "Destiny's Door", I wrote it around a few of Hans' stems, some of which I altered. He provided the track for a contest, sponsored by the company "Bleeding Fingers".

Sam Thomas' cover of Daughter's "Human", featuring Lim Orion

Sam’s debut, labour-of-love album ‘Blind Theatre’, was released in 2013 through Just Music: an immersive instrumental narrative of all his experience and influence to date. It would take 10 years to release a follow up: ‘Mantle’: a collaboration album with Isamaya Ffrench, released through Iconoclast. 

The same year comes a new solo album, ‘Rane’. This features three vocalists singing over Sam’s instrumental compositions: Lim Orion, Ösp Eldjárn and Sian O’Gorman (of nyx.edc).

Lanterns, like Ojera, Arnold's Circus and Blue Cologne, began life as part of a 27-minute continuous track I recorded in the studios at university. I called it Lanterns because it gives me the feeling of being in an expansive outdoor space.

I'm Gonna Be A Witch (Thom Alt-J Remix) (remix)

Gift is the second single taken from my debut album 'Blind Theatre'. Watch it performed live here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2YaKzohGdM 

I see it as a sort-of overture to the album, not in the way that it contains musical themes that reoccur in other tracks but more that it's a brief introduction to the sort of sounds and styles that the album is about.

Gift

Composer, producer and session player (guitars, drums, keyboards), writing commissioned music for various media (including film, dance and theatre), producing albums and continuously working on his original material.

Sam’s debut, labour-of-love album ‘Blind Theatre’, was released in 2013 through Just Music: an immersive instrumental narrative of all his experience and influence to date. Recording began in the University of Westminster campus studios and finished with Mark Sutherland at Café Music Studios in Bow. It would take 10 years to release a follow-up: he went on to set up Sound Terrace studio in East London, producing multiple albums for clients while simultaneously gestating ideas and setting the scene to write/produce his sophomore release, ‘Mantle’: a collaboration album with Isamaya Ffrench, released through Iconoclast. Sam has a Kontakt instrument tied to this album, ‘The Sound Love Lost’: available for download and compatible with the free Kontakt player.

His follow-up to Mantle was a solo album, ‘Rane’, finished at the same time as Mantle and released the same year. This features three vocalists singing over Sam’s instrumental compositions: Lim Orion, Ösp Eldjárn and Sian O’Gorman (of NYX - electronic drone choir).

Sam is now working on an alter-ego project, Gloria Untold: "Inaugural sentient algorithmic entity, autonomously and ‘artificially’ manifesting itself online, infiltrating streaming services from 01_04_24"…
