New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ I AM PR Agency) The Chill Funk Trip", the highly anticipated album by Made Of Wood is now available via CD Baby, iTunes, and Amazon. "The Chill Funk Trip" is an eclectic and atmospheric album. It features songs like "Fire Up the Sidewalk," a homage to 70s funk with a tip of the hat to
David Holmes, and "Are We Lost?" a chill-out number with swirling strings and Wurlitzers that led to Made of Wood being a "Top 10 Independent Artist" in late 2011 on Jango.com.
"The thing that inspires me to make music is to create a new place, usually encapsulated by a feeling, where I can take the listener", says Dan Waldman, the composer behind the Made of Wood project.
"I think I'm pretty visual, so a lot of my music evokes images in my mind, sometimes abstract. Some of the things I'm doing right now are mainly supposed to be fun, (songs like "Electric Funk Break for Addy," and "Fire Up the Sidewalk)," but others are pretty intricately created: songs like "Lantern of Embudo," "Are We Lost?" and "A Sleep and A Forgetting." I'm hoping those songs reward people who listen to them more than once."
Magnet Magazine exclusively reviewed Made of Wood's last album and shared:
"Made of Wood" instrumentalist Dan Waldman takes it all the way. If you like lounge, you will like this. If you love the instrumental sampling technique, say, similar to Moby…you will like this. But here's the secret weapon…if you think that the music heard in far out 70's cop shows is unearthed dirty deep funky goodness, pick up your shovel and dig Made of Wood."
