Will Samson (UK)

Karaoke Kalk

Will Samson works with a diverse array of sounds that emanate from his hoard of old tape machines and cassettes; leavening out the resultant hisses, clicks and whirrs with voice and guitar. The sound created is a simple, patient and often poignant one; and able to encompass the range of indeterminable, often unlooked for noises that the tape machines kick out. There is a soulful and melancholic aspect noticable in a lot of his work, through 2011’s and 2012’s to his latest release, Light Shadows; a four-song EP (boasting remixes by luminaries such as Benoît Pioulard and Ritornell) that came out on Cologne’s Karaoke Kalk this spring.
