Boulevard Unplugged: Capsetime | S S Myth (Luc Samuel)
An atmospheric live session from Boulevard Unplugged at Midsummer Place Shopping Centre on Horizon Radio, featuring Milton Keynes alt-folk artist Luc Samuel, performing under the moniker Capsetime | S S Myth.
The set blends reimagined versions of well-known songs with his own original material, shaped through a distinctive singer-songwriter lens that treats music as a kind of narrative time travel. His interpretations of familiar classics are heavily reworked, sitting alongside original compositions that draw on themes of love, change, conflict and personal mythology. The performance reflects a strong literary influence, with references woven from classic storytelling, theatre, and poetry, creating a layered lyrical style that moves between intimate confession and wider social reflection.
Rooted in Milton Keynes, the artist positions his work as part of a wider creative archive of place and memory, using performance as a way of connecting local identity with broader cultural influences. His original tracks explore contrasts between past and present, tradition and reinvention, often framed through recurring imagery of journeys, ships, space, and time. There is a clear fascination with storytelling structures that loop back on themselves, giving the set a conceptual thread that runs through both the covers and originals.
Musically, the performance sits within an alt-folk foundation but draws from an unusually wide palette, incorporating global rhythmic and linguistic influences, alongside contemporary pop and reggae inflections. This cross-genre approach gives the set an unpredictable edge, shifting between stripped-back acoustic moments and more rhythmically driven passages.
At its heart, the session is presented as a personal creative statement: an evolving artistic identity built around transformation, narrative symbolism, and connection through song. The Boulevard Unplugged appearance captures an artist in development, using live performance as both a showcase and a storytelling space, where influences, ideas and ambitions are all channelled into a single, continuous musical journey.
