WOO
Woo is an experimental music duo from the UK. The band consists of brothers Mark (born in 1953) and Clive Ives (born in 1956). They grew up in the South of London.
The band combine several musical styles, creating its own sound: Folk, Jazz, Pop, Ambient, Psychedelic as well as Healing Music. Woo is one of the first bands to incorporate acoustic instruments (clarinet, saxophone, Acoustic guitars, 12-string and bass guitars) into electronic music in the early 70's. Die Zeit wrote of them "ihre Musik ist so etwas wie ein offenes Geheimnis. Seit Jahrzehnten blüht sie in einem entlegenen, verwunschenen Garten" [their music is like an open secret. For decades it has been flowering in a remote, enchanted garden].
The name of the band, Woo, refers to the sound of a musical saw, an instrument the brothers' uncle Fred used to play.
