about

Sam Scranton is a composer and percussionist based in Chicago. His latest album, "Body Pillow," marks an aesthetic investment in the immediacy of improvisation. Simple and spontaneous forms make way for complex sound worlds to gather and accumulate into immersive and dense environments. To make the record, Sam employed a multi-faceted approach, combining contact mic'd balsa wood resonators, pure data patches, general midi presets, a variety of synthesizers, and live percussion. Sam's musicality shines through his loose and organic style of playing, offering a refreshing contrast to the synthetic, unique, and occasionally alien sound palette. There’s a woozy, unpredictable quality that permeates these tunes. Each track’s own universe is ever-shifting with bursts of activity and a flurry of ideas carefully spaced between moments of pause. It’s an exhilarating listen from a distinctive voice in electronic and percussive music.

about

Sam Scranton Chicago, Illinois

I play percussion and electronics. I make music with friends and also alone.The music is sometimes noisy, sometimes very wordy, sometimes very chill, sometimes all of the things at once.

To Live & Die In Space & Time
by Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice

supported by 74 fans who also own “Body Pillow”

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.
