"Sampson produces an impressively wide variety of sounds; he can hum, croon, moan, chant like a Tibetan monk, chant like a Western monk, or sing high counter-tenor. And in the weirdly juxtaposed "Great Lakes Chain Gang," he sounds like an improbable white Aborigine singing the blues."
(from the Eclectic Earwig review of the Sampson - Carroll album "Mandala for Chaos"

"I've been using my voice in expressive, emotional, melodic ways since before I could articulate words, and I have decades of experience in a stylistic variety of rock bands. Quite unexpectedly, I started singing ambient soundscapes in 2001 (Sampson - Carroll / Embracing the Glass).

The world of atmospheric dreamscapes has proved to be aristically fruitful for me - I've collaborated/improvised with a number of successful artists (Sara Ayers, Matthew Florianz, Kecap Tuyal, The Method Learned, and others) as well as continuing to work with Sean Carroll. I also create and perform in a solo capacity, as you can hear here.

Although my primary instrument is my voice, there are times when I utilize synthesizers, electronic effects, computer software, field recordings, and percussion. Along with the need to express what I feel, my main intent is to prompt someone's thought process, and I thoroughly enjoy hearing about where the listener's imagination has taken him/her."
