ANDREW WOODS
Andrew Woods is a powerful force for good in the Seattle improvised-&-innovative music situation. The evolution of his latest work-in-progress,
Andrew Woods's's Unscheduled Return, may be examined here, tracks appearing one by one as he completes them ::

In recent past lives, Andrew boogied all over the boundaries between audience and performer with
hEEnD, proved that an improvising dance-prog duo was a perfectly reasonable idea with
Neon Brown, (not to mention
FallingDownTime), kept the Ballard neighborhood supplied with high-energy collective improv twice a month for five or six years with
Neon Brown Presents / Juggler's Challenge at Mr Spot's Chai House, and now leads the Woodland Experimental Groove Orchestra (
WEGO), whose danceworthy improvised acoustic adventures may be dug freely at

He has also built many strange and wonderful instruments for himself and others, and he has written a number of beautiful songs and off-kilter electric epics.
Andrew's first solo album, "
Neon Grey," consists of acoustic re-arrangements of some of his best songs, and several excellent improvisations. You can check it out here:
