About Sam Hamilton
SAM HAMILTON BIO Auckland's Sam Hamilton, through an entranced mode of ecstatic euphoria, summons up a sonic spirit sensorium of alchemical boogie woogie rituals, mystic disco, psychedelic dance and fucked modern pop. A joyful astral punk explosion of spectral voodoo dance fun vibes that resonates its way out of the sound system like a dusk burning its way through the horizon into the nocturnal wonderland of magic. A hybridized tapestry of sound, equally influenced from exploring environmental sound in the Amazon as it is from strobe lights, amplifier feedback and Doo Wop records, but a tapestry that sustains a cohesive continuum of intuitive engagement, hypnotic experience, shameless fun mixed with a celebratory exploration of the future of sound. Hamilton has toured the US, Australia, South America and NZ played festivals, events, clubs, art galleries, warehouses, living rooms, alleys, streets and parks and gardens since’s 2003. He’s had dozens of releases, including a recently released new full length LP ‘PALA’. His interdisciplinary practice has involved making films that have been screened an toured across the globe, directing cinema and experimental music programs, festivals and events, working with internationally acclaimed dance companies, theatre companies and artists. He’s had written acclaim in magazines fro the WIRE the National Radio and everything in between. He’s exhibited artwork from an Alley in Christchurch to the Common Wealth Games to contemporary galleries the Lower East Side, NYC.
