The Body In Question

The Body In Question plays experimental electronic music. Our influences include Zoviet France, Nurse With Wound, Cul De Sac, Tod Dockstaeder, Lorde Awesome, Miles Davis (especially the Bitches Brew years), Black Dice, Kieren Hebden and Steve Reid to name just a few. We are interested in what Damo Suzuki calls spontaneous composition but also don't mind digging in for a fierce chaotic improvisational jam from time to time. Some of the pieces you hear were created in the moment, usually live in the studio, while others were crafted over time using layers of overdubbing. Always, at the core of what we do, is the spirit of exploration and experimentation.

The Body In Question is...
Charles Hackbarth on synthesizer, guitar, sampler and various electronic gizmos.
Marc Cohen on drums and keyboards
Eric Laimer on guitar
Jim Taylor on bass

The Body in Question live at The Only Cafe, Toronto, June 7, 2012.

 
The Body in Question is now a trio. We played our first live gig as a trio at The Only Cafe on June 7, 2012.  Joining us live for the first time was our new guitarist, Eric Laimer. Our music is evolving... it merges Krautrock, avant-rock, free jazz, industrial, dark ambient, electronica, avant-garde, heavy metal and classic rock, and whatever else that flows through our fingers while we're playing.
