SUMMARY:Will Samson - Sings Again
LOCATION:ufaFabrik
DESCRIPTION:Unbeeindruckt von Genregrenzen beschäftigt sich Will Samson se
 it über einem Jahrzehnt mit den Schnittstellen zwischen elektronischen\, 
 Folk- und Ambient-Klängen\, wobei sein Schwerpunkt auf einem intensiven H
 örerlebnis und analogen Aufnahmetechniken liegt.\n\nWill Samson ist gepr
 ägt von verschiedenen Ländern: Seine Großeltern kommen aus Chile und In
 dien und lernten sich später in Kenia kennen. Geboren in Oxford\, wandert
 e er selbst mit seinen Eltern nach Australien aus\, wo er zehn Jahre lang 
 lebte\, bevor er nach Großbritannien zurückkehrte. Später begann er\, z
 wischen Oxford und Berlin\, dann Brighton\, Lissabon\, Brüssel und wieder
  zurück nach England zu pendeln. Schnell wird klar\, warum sich ein Groß
 teil von Samsons fesselnden Liedern oft mit Identität und Zugehörigkeit 
 auseinandersetzt.\n\nWill Samson hat Alben über Wichita Recordings / PIAS
  (Bloc Party\, American Football\, Ride)\, 12k (Taylor Deupree\, Ryuichi S
 akamoto)\, Dauw und sogar das britische Dance-Label Aus Music veröffentli
 cht. Er trat mit Künstlern wie Ólafur Arnalds\, S. Carey\, Kurt Vile\, E
 fterklang und Do Make Say Think auf sowie bei europäischen Festivals wie 
 Rewire\, Explore The North\, Fusion und Le Guess Who? Dazu kamen zahlreich
 e Headliner-Tourneen in Großbritannien und Europa. Remixes und Zusammenar
 beiten entstanden unter anderem mit Gold Panda\, Masayoshi Fujita und The 
 Album Leaf.\n\nhttps://www.willsamson.co.uk/\n\nFoto: Joseph Ball\n\n\n\nE
 nglisch:\n\n“Will Samson is dead”. These were the direct words heard d
 uring a six hour ayahuasca ceremony in April 2024. After many years of con
 templation\, research and careful thought\, Will Samson partook in the pla
 nt medicine tradition\, practised by indigenous people of the Amazon basin
  for hundreds of years. One of the most powerful psychedelic plants on ear
 th\, the ceremony strongly alters perception\, offering what some say is e
 quivalent to years worth of psychotherapy.\n\nNot to be romanticised\, thi
 s largely dark and terrifying experience provided invaluable insights – 
 with the recovery and processing gradually unfolding over the proceeding o
 ne and a half years\, during the creation of Sings Again.\n\nAmongst many 
 powerful visions\, including conversations with his late father and memori
 es of earliest childhood\, Samson was taken to his own funeral.\n\n“In t
 he months afterwards\, I truly did feel as though something significant in
  me had died...and then through psychotherapy I was able to process the ex
 perience and also learn how to move forward with an emphasis on creating f
 rom a new internal space.”\n\nWhere lyrics were often shrouded in crypti
 c language\, Samson now sings us a raw and direct insight into the most vu
 lnerable parts of himself.\n\nWritten over the course of two years\, the a
 lbum was mainly recorded in isolation during a long stay residency in the 
 Portuguese region of Alentejo\, at a small rural village between Lisbon an
 d the Spanish border.\n\nMusically inspired by the early works of Bjork\, 
 Four Tet & Efterklang\, much of the album was built upon recording and the
 n sampling organic sounds such as twigs\, rocks and paintbrushes to create
  percussion. An empty glass bottle was transformed into the otherworldly o
 rgan on the raw opener 0333AM\, and Samson’s own voice became the moody 
 synth sound on the sparse electronica of Darabuka.\n\nThe familiar collect
 ion of old tape machines that have characterised much of his sound remain 
 (with a 1971 Seinnheiser microphone for the vocals)\, firmly rooting Sings
  Again in an organic sonic landscape of electronic and acoustic influences
 .\n\nReleasing records since 2012\, Samson's practise has always been that
  of an instrumental artist\, treating voice as another melodic element in 
 the same way as any other instrument. However\, as the name suggests\,\n\n
 Sings Again marks a return to vocal focused music\, after a reflective per
 iod that saw him release two instrumental works on Belgian label Dauw and 
 the esteemed ambient label 12k (Ryuichi Sakamoto\, Taylor Deupree). On his
  return to singing\, Samson offers a raw and direct insight into a long-es
 tablished artist beginning again.\n\nhttps://www.willsamson.co.uk/\n\nPhot
