Description

Divergence is a project led by Freya Rae on flute, whistles and clarinet, she is joined by clarsach player Siannie Moodie and Tim Lane on kit, percussion, sansula and the tongue drum. The trio take Freya’s own traditionally inspired melodies and twist them into sets and riffs using acoustic instruments and electronic effects, guest musicians are Fraser Fifiled on Soprano Saxophone & Low Whistle and Eryn Rae on Fiddle. Divergence is so named because the band seeks to promote the use of non-traditional instruments in traditional music, primarily the silver boehm system flute. Their aim is to encourage inclusivity, progression and acceptance.
