Meet The Band: Sam Hanson
We now interview Sam Hanson, or "Mr Brain" as he's also known as, on his own opinions and experience towards music. Enjoy!
Interviewer: Sam, how did you get started on the keyboard, piano and organ and why did you pick those instruments over any other?
Sam: I was walking through China one day and I came across a forest of bamboo, and there was this panda eating bamboo. All the colours came together, with more pandas emerging from the different areas and it was a beautiful scene. I knew from this moment that I was destined to play an instrument with black and white keys.
Do you have a favourite piano concerto?
Rachmaninov's 3rd Concerto.
What has been your most memorable musical experience so far in your life?
It's clearly not very memorable because I can't remember it... but playing the piano in the sea is probably the most memorable moment.
Which Oposium concert have you enjoyed the most and why?
The St John's gig on the 20th June because it was the biggest one so far, with lots of added features such as the video screen and the flaming piano outside.
But now, what has been your most embarrassing situation in your musical career so far!?
Being filmed with Richard dancing a large paddling and listening to Handel's Water Music one sunny Summer's day. Or possibly the mole dance every New Year's eve...!?
If you were randomly given £1,000,000, what would you do with it?
I would buy a life time's supply of bread!
Finally, if you can pick one out, what is your favourite key and why!?
BMaj7 with 2+4, and I like it so much because of it's many possibilities!
Sam Hanson
And finally, the last blog of the series will star the band's ever-zealous bassist, Scott Blandford.
Peace always,
The Oposium Admin Team.
