Get To Know: SASAMI

MUSIC

Apr 22

Get to know SASAMI: her sound is an evolving universe; high-gloss pop orbiting her orchestral roots, a push and pull between maximalist and intimate, chaotic and precise. Fresh off the one-year mark of Blood On The Silver Screen and stepping into its reimagined, collaborative afterlife, she finds herself in a moment of reflection and return. Read more below.

what is your favourite conspiracy theory?
To be honest, I’m going pretty deep on the theory that there is no free will right now. Fuckin around with the idea that we are just active observers of our existence!

what is your go-to karaoke song?
Can’t go wrong with Shania Twain, any Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac or Avril.

who are you booking for a dream festival line-up?
Wow crazy question. Alive or dead? To see perform or to hang out with at catering? Ugh gun to my head answer- Berlin Phil backing weyes blood, sandy denny with incredible string band, Nina Simone and a piano, System of a Down acoustic after hours set.

what is your favourite compliment you've ever received?
I like when people notice my classical composer tattoos. Right now I have Bach, Strauss, Chopin, Brahms, Mahler and I need Tchaikovsky next.

what is the last thing you Googled?
How to spell acoustic guitar- I never know how many c’s!

What’s your favourite “third space”?
Loooove people watching on the streets of a city. (Does that count?) Probably because I live in a rural place and I’m alone a lot.

What is your prized possession?
My Hans Hoyer french horn

What’s the worst piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Oh god, probably to be positive lol. I am just projecting because I am always trying to keep a positive view, but I don’t think shit gets done when everyone does this.

What’s your go to comfort meal?
Mom’s oyakodon or any Korean/japanese home cooked meal.
