Emergence Collective build beautiful, minimalist sound worlds through improvised performance.
Featuring a revolving lineup and a mix of ancient and modern instruments, the ensemble brings together some of the north’s finest improvisors. Drawing on their collective musical backgrounds in folk, jazz, experimental and early music, they generate a hypnotic, otherworldly kaleidoscope of sound – completely unique to every live performance and every space they perform in.
Directed by Juliana Day (recorders/whistles), Rob Bentall (nyckelharpa), Tim Knowles (guitar) and Zebedee Budworth (hammered dulcimer).
