The Wooden Body is a cooperative project between string players Matt Howden (Sieben), Jo Quail, Katt Hernandez, Liam Morrissey, and producer and experimental musician Per Åhlund.
Using recordings from these four excellent string players, Per Åhlund has created an album that blurs the borders of wooden acoustic and voltaic sounds.
Each track features one of the musicians on Cello or Violin, and are filtered through software and effects to create four rather diverse soundscapes. All of which flow through melancholy, sadness and- at times- desperation, but also tranquillity, calm and hope.
Tracks:
A1 – Without A Trace (Liam Morrissey/Per Åhlund)
A2 – Lower Us Down (Joanna Quail/Per Åhlund)
B1 – The Scavengers (Katt Hernandez/Per Åhlund)
B2 – From Afar (Matt Howden/Per Åhlund)

“Nästa kassett från Lamour är The Wooden Bodys ”Aftermath Quietudes” vars första spår minner om en något mer positiv version av den stråkdoom grekiska Mohammad bjuder på, musik från övergivna källare och dåligt upplysta platser, de resterande tre verken fortsätter stämningsladdat, musik som fungerade väl i allhelgonatid.”
