Samuel Taylor-Shaw, born in Cambridgeshire, is a Composer, Drummer, and the Conductor of the Duxford Saturday Workshop Symphony Orchestra.

His works have been performed at events such as the Composers Summer Music Festival in 2025, where his string trio ‘Elegy for a Quiet Place’ was premiered.

Samuel performs as a drummer in theatre pit bands, sings in choirs (including at Kings College and the Corn Exchange in Cambridge) and frequently collaborates with other musicians and artists. Largely self-taught on multiple instruments, he enjoys working both in groups and one-on-one, taking a hands-on approach to music-making.
He believes that every note has a meaning, and whether putting pen to paper or piano to DAW, each sound must have purpose. Samuel also draws on analytical skills from his study of philosophy to interpret artwork and shape ideas for his compositions. His creative process combines orchestral training, self-directed learning, and experience performing and leading ensembles.

This planet is covered in snow. Comfort can only be found in a small house that shelters the player from
the frequent storms and disarray outside. This planet looks at PTSD/CPTSD in the form of coping with
trauma at a surface level, how we protect ourselves as the struggles attempt to get inside the warmth and comfort of safety .
This was a given description of the world I was asked to encompass.
