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.
