As part of the Laefer Quartet, Samuel launched his debut album under the German record label 'Coviello' in March 2024. Titled 'Strata', the album is the culmination of over five years of collaborative work with composers from across the world, and represents their situated perspectives, creative re-imaginings, and commitment to changing the various layers that form our material, political, and spiritual lives. The Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain described the album as exhibiting "stunning playing" and a "tight, crystal clear and highly polished" performance'.
