Dead Wood is the solo project of composer, improviser, and label-owner Adam Baker, born in Dunfermline, Scotland. Since 2002, across a series of releases and collaborations on a number of international labels (At War With False Noise, Apollolaan, Striate Cortex, Dead Pilot), he has foraged through field recording, digital and analogue drone, sampling, circuit-bending and small-instrument improvisation, crossing categories in pursuit of resonant and mesmerising sounds. He also runs the Dirty Demos label, releasing limited editions of work from the international experimental underground.
