   About Shmu aka Sam Chown
Canadian born artist Shmu dug a hole in his backyard and continued to dig until he reached Boston, Mass, where he attended and graduated from Berklee College of Music. Shmu then jumped on a submarine full of illegal immigrants, re-emerging in Austin, TX where he plays local music venues. Along with having a productive solo career, Shmu is also the drummer/vocalist of the Austin-based experimental keys/drums duo Zorch.

For booking, contact Shmu through myspace or send an email to samchown@gmail.com

"you should hurry up and discover him." http://sboxmusic.blogspot.com/

"9/10" regarding "Discipline/Communication" http://troymax.livejournal.com/36317.html

"The opposites attract relationship between his ethereal musical soundscapes and his incredibly smooth vocals is compelling. Overall, his music is an amalgamation of glitch, shoegaze, jazz, folk rock, pop and psychedelic progression" - http://itsnotthebandihateitstheirfans.blogspot.com/

"Shmu [has] released a stellar collection of solo tracks titled “Discipline/Communication” “Fester” I listened to [...] over and over. Shmu’s vocals are outstanding. He’s a great singer, plain and simple." - http://luxinaustin.wordpress.com/

"Excellent and recommended for everybody." http://hannibalsite.blogspot.com/

Distant Time by Rabindranath Tagore

I know not from what distant time
thou art ever coming nearer to meet me.
Thy sun and stars can never keep thee hidden from me for aye.

In many a morning and eve thy footsteps have been heard
and thy messenger has come within my heart and called me in secret.

I know not only why today my life is all astir,
and a feeling of tremulous joy is passing through my heart.

It is as if the time were come to wind up my work,
and I feel in the air a faint smell of thy sweet presence.
