Living in Buenos Aires, and after having studied several instruments both formally and self-taught, in ’99 Sam narrowed it down to the tenor saxophone, taking private lessons with Juan Ignacio Caino, Luis Nacht (no relation) and eventually Evan Parker and Ellery Eskelin. His interest in music lead him to study Electroacoustic Composition at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes (2000-06). A few years later he started teaching privately and then between 2006-09 at St. George’s College, Quilmes. By then he also played a little clarinet, flute and trombone, regularly combining these acoustic wind instruments with the digital and analogue sound processes granted by current musical technologies. He has developed these resources here in Argentina, as well as in Chile, Brazil and Europe, in stylistic contexts that range from jazz to noise, flirting with classical music, performing in intimate duets and riotous ensembles and even in sober and streamlined orchestras. The underlying motif throughout all of this music, however, has always been an inevitable component of improvisation and experimentation. Today, he improvises regularly in the underground scene in Buenos Aires. His musical experience, nonetheless, has always been complemented by his theatrical beginnings. In 1998 he graduated in the Honours School of Drama from Manchester University, having participated as an actor, director and author in festivals in Edinburgh, London and Sao Paulo. He then worked as a technician in the Teatro del Sur in Buenos Aires (1999-2000). At the beginning of the millennium, his work in the music theatre company MuTe turned out to be an ideal niche in which to make the most of all the accumulated musical and theatrical interests and experiences. His theatrical origins tend to inevitably surface in live performances. Recently, he co-composed the music for a theatrical adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper. In addition to his artistic labour, Sam also worked backstage with the Buenos Aires International Independent Film Festival, the Buenos Aires International Theatre Festival, and as co-founder he also ran the eclectic nocturnal events of Niños Consentidos (Enfants Terribles/Spoilt Brats –both in Buenos Aires and Europe) and the weekly special Lunes/Martes/2012 sin Sentido (Nonsense Mondays/Tuesdays/2012). Due to his English nationality and bilingual nature, Sam also works as a freelance translator and interpreter, with special emphasis on collaborating with Argentine film production companies. As of 2012, he also runs the recording and mixing studio Libres. Apart from managing the studio he also regularly works as a technician, specializing in recording experimental music, and often opens the doors for intimate studio gigs. This has, once again, brought about several musical, theatrical and film projects in which he has collaborated and further developed all of the above.
