Emergence Collective

Emergence Collective creates beautiful, minimalist sound worlds that gradually unfold through improvised performance. With a revolving lineup and a vibrant mix of ancient and modern instruments, the ensemble unites some of the North’s most exciting improvisers in fresh and unexpected combinations.

Drawing on shared backgrounds in experimental, folk, electronic, classical, and early music, they generate a hypnotic, otherworldly kaleidoscope of sound, completely unique to every live performance and shaped by the space in which it occurs.

Phoebe has been a member of Emergence Collective since 2024.
