Sam Hardaker - one half of Zero 7 - chats to I Like Music

"I like music because ... it gets me through my day."

Sam, Zero 7

ILM: I think Zero 7 is summery, chilled ou - perfet sounds of summer, what's your fave thing about the summer?

Sam: It's nice when they coincide with world cups, other than that, barbecues in Henry's garden I guess. That's my absolute number one favourite thing.

ILM: You've been friends for a while and did apprenticeship in sound engineering, etc (the proper way)

Sam: I don't think of it as the proper way really. It was a strange way we fell into it actually making music, because we were set on a course where we were going to help other people make their music, but that turned out to be very dissatisfying for the both of us. Although we were into learning about it, but we reached a point where we found it to be a very male dominated insulated boring world, and you never really get out and you don't meet people.

So it was nice to step outside of there and just start doing what we're doing. In a way it was just like starting again, apart from the fact that we knew a little bit about what we were doing, so I think it's good to gain a bit of knowledge but ultimately I think it's probably best to just do what you feel like doing, because you can do it at home in your bedroom.
