10 SAM HAMER I found my way into sound through a love of music. I wanted to be involved in the punk scene but not onstage. I was always bothered by the poor-quality sound of the demo tapes that I'd buy at the DIY shows I'd go to. I want- ed to contribute something to the community. I started putting on shows where I could be piecing together bits of equipment. I worked with some local sound reinforce- ment engineers and as I could afford it, I'd buy bits of their old gear so I could get the pink and hardcore shows a bit louder and a bit better. I also learned a lot of great techniques from my mentors. Eventually, I decided to learn studio techniques and enrolled in an evening course at the local high school. I took a two-year city and Guild course in sound engineering, followed by a bachelor's degree in media arts and sound and music production from the London College of Music and Media.
