Ltd to just 500 copies, this album from Norwegian ambient guitarist Wøllo and Electronic Music legend Boddy contains inspired & extended live re-workings!

Erik Wøllo has become a familiar name to followers of the DiN label as he has previously collaborated with label boss Ian Boddy on three studio albums as well as a couple of releases with Bernhard Wöstheinrich. His other ‘live’ release with Boddy was ‘EC12’, a download only affair from their only concert together so far – a performance at the Electronic Circus in Germany in 2012. That is, until April 2024, when the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool invited Wøllo to perform alongside Boddy at what would be his UK concert debut

During the evening at the Capstone each musician played solo sets and then combined on stage to play an electrifying hour-long performance mining tracks from their previous two albums: ‘Meridian’ & ‘Revolve’. It is this joint concert that forms this ‘Transmissions’ album.
Taking the original pieces as their starting point the duo played reworked and extended versions of these tracks with Wøllo getting the chance to play some wonderful guitar solos that take the music to a whole new level. Meanwhile Boddy used his Eurorack modular system to sculpt and mould the rhythmic sequencers and drums around Erik’s playing, as well as adding his distinctive French Connection Ondes style voicings. The main set was a continuous sonic journey through mystical soundscapes and rhythmic slices of “Berlin School” sequencing. The final encore track was a rendition of the track ‘Apogee’ from the duo’s 2022 ‘Revolve’ album, with Wøllo playing a blistering guitar solo over Boddy’s heavy, sequenced grooves.

This is a real treat for DiN aficionados and a perfect example of how two experienced musicians can take existing material and take it to new emotional heights in a ‘live’ setting.

‘Transmissions’ was released on 6th May 2025.
