About Me |
|
| Laura Moody is a London based singer, cellist, songwriter and occasional theatre performer. Laura is best known for her work with innovative string quartet the Elysian Quartet which has won much acclaim for its pioneering performances and recordings of contemporary classical, experimental and improvised music. She has also toured world-wide as a member of physical theatre string ensemble The Gogmagogs. In her solo cello and voice work she looks to combine the two instruments in interesting and often physical, even theatrical ways. Laura composes what she believes to be essentially pop songs, although nobody else ever seems to agree with this definition. Her songs are influenced by beatboxing, electronica, contemporary and classical music and various kinds of pop music. However, in the absence of the ability to actually beatbox or use technology in any meaningful way and being much too self involved and lazy to be bothered to compose for other people she explores what is possible with just solo acoustic cello and voice. In her spare time she enjoys cooking and writing in the third person. | |
My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 3/16/2007Band Members: Laura Moody - music and lyrics, cello and voice Adam Everard - production Influences: Where do you start? As a child I had a tape of some woman singing ‘The Wheels of the Bus go Round and Round’ in full operatic soprano which I think may have scarred me for life. As for more recently, I suppose classical and contemporary string music, avant garde vocal music, folksong and electronica are all in there somewhere. I’m also hugely inspired by Cassandra Wilson, Bjork, Tom Waits, Pentangle, e.e. cummings, Ani Difranco, my Elysian Quartet friends, Keith and Julie Tippett, Joni Mitchell, Carol Ann Duffy, Joanna Newsom, PJ Harvey, Seb Rochford, Patti Smith, John Coltrane, kd Lang, Tracey Thorn, Diamanda Galas, Meredith Monk, The Fall, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Nick Cave and many many others. Recently I've been enjoying lots of Captain Beefheart, MIA, Dowland, Devon Sproule, Sly Stone, Hot Chip and early Michael Jackson/Jackson 5. I also been enjoy going to see the Philharmonia Orchestra play old German music and having a good cry. "Wouldn't you just DIE without Mahler..." Record Label: unsigned Type of Label: None |
