Who?

I’m Sam Enthoven.

I used to be a children’s author. Right now I’m a trustee, events manager and gallery curator at The All Good Bookshop, a community owned-and-run small bookshop, performance venue and arts space in Turnpike Lane, North London. I’m also a musician and sound artist – and that’s what this site is mainly about.

My main instrument is the theremin. For more than ten years now I’ve been exploring the places where sound and stories meet.

“The music from Sam Enthoven is divine throughout, and it’s lovely to see the inclusion of a theremin in live theatre.” -Binge Fringe, for Hide

“Enthoven’s theremin and clever use of echo and other effects created an atmosphere that grew from excited to perilous to surreal and back through terror to acceptance. The soundtrack was like being held in a warm hug by a cat that wants to simultaneously hug you and claw your face off.” -Starburst Magazine, for The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath
