The extent to which Sam likes to explore the boundless possibilities of music can be seen in his recent compositions for Orchestra with Whale Sounds (Orca for Orchestra - 2015), Orchestra with Sign Language (Dreaming in Sign Language - 2014), and Strings with Body Percussion (Inspirit - 2013). Current commissions include a new work for Solo Violin exploring language for the American violinist Miranda Cuckson for The West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2017, and Concerto Grosso for Marimba and String Orchestra for The Irish Chamber Orchestra and percussionist Alex Petcu.
