Things that inspire me are dirty beats, wicked bass lines, the human heart, fresh air, my daughter, brain noise, technology, God, and any thing that makes me go "hell yeah!!". Also waking up each day. CHEESY BIO
Samarah began playing piano at the tender age of seven and experimented with various orchestral instruments and choir during her childhood. By thirteen she was composing her own songs and played her first gig at fifteen in a local bar. In the late 90's she discovered electronic music through the rave scene and was infatuated with the new sounds. Inspired, she bought her first computer and got her hands on production software, synthesizers, samplers and drum machines. The end result was elegant compositions of minimal trip hop and experimental idm with vocals.
After moving to Madison, WI in 2000, she became involved in the local scene by promoting ambient events and in 2003 released her first ep So Lovely -- the title track was picked up by Minneapolis Limited Records for a compilation. In 2004 she followed up with a downtempo ep, What is Beautiful and in 2005 released her most experimental ep, These Things. These Things showcased refined production skills and ability to manipulate and create sounds and was picked up by multiple netlabels.
In 2006, Samarah released her first full-length album Falling Away as a co-release with Zod Records and helped launch Belladonna Records.
Throughout the years she has played throughout the Midwest in cafes, clubs and raves alongside artists Andreas Tilliander, Cepia, Landau, Pressboard, Tiki Obmar, The Flashbulb, and others.
Samarah continues to perform frequently and breath new life into the electronic music scene.
Starbass one year anniversary this Saturday. There's a nice picture to go with it, but you just get text. :P Other than that, well, I guess I hope everything is just wonderful.
