samwooddoowmas
samwooddoowmas is the project of Edinburgh-based artist Sam Wood. His music
shifts between hypnotic ambient passages, abrasive noise and fast, percussive electronics,
moving fluidly across genre boundaries. In 2025, he released Beat, a double album
exploring industrial techno and breaks. Previous albums include Modes of Transportation
(2024), built around field recordings of different transport methods such as cars, horses,
trains, boats and walking, and Alphabet (2023), a reflection on dyslexia. He also released
two albums and two EPs in 2022.
Known for DIY methods and unconventional performances — including a live set
inside a urinal and playing bass with a bicycle — he manipulates sound through tape loops,
digital processing and analog instruments. His live shows have included PAS in Berlin, Piano
Drome, Leith Depot and Summerhall, pushing performance and genre boundaries.
