After recordings, attempt woven work (8)
I believe the answer is:
tapestry
'woven work' is the definition.
'tapestry' can be an answer for 'work' (I have seen 'work of art' mean 'tapestry' so perhaps 'work' could also mean 'tapestry'). I am unsure of the 'woven' bit.
'after recordings attempt' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'recordings' becomes 'tapes' (tape is a kind of recording).
'attempt' becomes 'try' (synonyms).
'tapes' put next to 'try' is 'TAPESTRY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapestry that I've seen before include "Woven hanging fabric with pictures" , "work of art" , "Complexity" , "Ornamental wall hanging" , "Woven or embroidered textile" .)
