sam hamilton

Sam Hamilton is an experimental musician and artist from Auckland, New Zealand. He is an regularly active generator of quintessential cognitive junk that wofts somewhere beyond the point of meaning. His work ranges the gamut between joyful meaningless free noise rock through to orchestrated live Expanded Cinema explorations manipulating yesterday's film equipment and techniques or even 35mm films to investigative field recording adventures into the sound environments of the Amazon rain forest...

Starving Weirdos

Starving Weirdos are from northern California's lost coast, a sleepy hamlet surrounded by five hours of wilderness in all directions. They are a wild and desperate style music band. They dig on the quiet and natural beauty that defines their environs and try to carry the same spirit of dignity mixed with brute force and docile felicity as it appears to them daily. No discord and no harmony.
