Woven is an experimental rock band from Los Angeles, California. ==Biography== With influences including Björk, Aphex Twin, Pink Floyd, Jane's Addiction and Deftones, Woven combined electronica and rock influences, to create music that ranged from guitar-driven drum and bass to syncopated, sparse IDM. In 2001, Woven released its debut EP titled EPrime on Interscope records. The eclectic songs from EPrime quickly made their way into heavy rotation and charted nationwide on CMJ as the 5th most added record that year for college radio then landing spots on L.A.'s groundbreaking radio station KCRW 89.9.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=lw0U_9_pUfMC&pg=PA62&lpg=PA62&dq=woven+8+bit+monk+cmj&source=bl&ots=DRgBRMoQtc&sig=4rZnlX76_s_YfnIv8Y_JRka7txM&hl=en&ei=mljGTZHhFJCqsAOv0O3AAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDQQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=woven%208%20bit%20monk%20cmj&f=false〕 In 2003, the band released their first full length album with Interscope Records, 8 Bit Monk, which critics called a triumph of atmosphere over just about everything else and that the band had upped the groove and removed much of the subtlety it displayed on Eprime.〔http://music.msn.com/music/album-review/woven/8-bit-monk.1/#Review_0〕 They re-enlisted the London-based mixing genius, Steve Fitzmaurice, who had previously worked with such acts as Depeche Mode and U2. The album was self-produced by Woven, with additional production by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and Alan Elliott. Such haunting moods would land two of 8 Bit Monk's songs, "My Conditioning" and "Soul Fossa", on the hit CBS show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.〔http://www.tvshowsongs.com/csimusicseason3.html〕 In support of 8 Bit Monk, Woven toured with Dredg, Buckethead, The Apex Theory, Mellowdrone, They Might Be Giants and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon among others as well as headling their own shows and tours. Woven guitarist Steve Abagon has performed with Perry Farrell and recently contributed guitar tracks for folk-rock veteran Rickie Lee Jones on her album, The Sermon On Exposition Street. Ory Hodis, Woven's vocalist/guitarist has also recorded guitar tracks on Perry Farrell’s 2001 solo electronica record, Song Yet To Be Sung. In 2008, Woven released the highly anticipated follow up to 8 Bit Monk with the new album "Designer Codes". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woven (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
