With dub firmly at the core; CDO explores a range of cultures, religions, backgrounds and musical styles. A heavy roots drum and bass section (crucial to the true dub sound) is coloured by a variety of instruments and sounds. Guitar and keys deliver the essential reggae off-beat with a large palette of delays creating ethereal soundscapes. Members will often flow into improvised solos, weaving in and out of the musical dub backdrop. Previously featured instruments have included the bouzouki, the sitar, tabla, flamenco guitar, djembe, dabuka, congos, sax and violin. The band are currently working with classical trained Violinist Anna Olsson bringing a new dimension to the sound, introducing captivating and serene melodies. Although at the core CDO are an instrumental band they will often feature guest vocalists from varied musical backgrounds.
