About Kneebody
Kneebody's founding line-up included saxophonist Ben Wendel, trumpeter Shane Endsley and keyboardist Adam Benjamin, with the cue system letting any member change the form, tempo or key of a piece while it is being played. The approach makes their live sets sound partly composed and partly improvised in real time.
Outside their own albums they recorded an album of Charles Ives songs with singer Theo Bleckmann, and teamed up with electronic producer Daedelus on Kneedelus, which pushed their playing toward beat-driven, sample-heavy territory.
