Light Body Vehicle is a recording experiment that was undertaken by Jeffrey Konrad and Adam "Esiris" Lyons. Four recording sessions documented over the course of six years. Two of the sessions took place in Chattanooga, Tennessee and two occurred in Rock Island, Illinois. A few dozen tracks were catalogued, all in various stages of completion. The songs are highly experimental, often completely improvised. The tempos, styles and textures varied from track to track and occasionally utilized obscure samples from sources such as 1970's disco records, answering machines and the field recordings of a Save-A-Lot store. All of the songs have a heavy electronica undercurrent.

Artist Statement: "Light Body Vehicle is the striving balance of the organic and inorganic: drum machines, wooden flutes, analog synthesizers, classical guitars, samplers, vocals, turntables and a slew of other sound sources. Turning planet Earth into a drum kit, LBV isn't afraid to sample the construction crew off the street or the softest whisper of the trees."
