Live performance of Fly Tower

Emergence Collective is a supergroup of sorts comprised of some of the most masterful improvisers out of Sheffield and the North of England. They bring a diverse sonic palette and sensibility to their music that reflects their musical backgrounds in folk, jazz, experimental, early and contemporary classical music. With a revolving cast of up to fifteen musicians, their music is completely improvised and partly informed by where they play, “with just the starting key a deciding factor”, as the press release explains, “and little to no amplification is used in performances to preserve the natural sound of the instruments”, both ancient and modern.

Emergence Collective have announced the release of their new album, Fly Tower, captured live at the Abbeydale Picturehouse Fly Tower in Sheffield, a reverberant space, which is something they take into consideration when playing. Fly Tower will see the light of day on June 30th through Redundant Span Records and ahead of it they have shared the enthralling, gorgeous, mysterious and mesmerizing lead track, ‘S7 1FS-3’.  Press play and immerse yourself in the realm of their magic.
