Cellist Hannah Moule & the band have recently written 55 pieces of music; a set of songs about communication and human communion – told 5 ways for 5 ensembles: Strings, Horns, A Cappella, Electronica & Electric.

Come see The Strings Ensemble! The multi-instrumentalists push what can be done with a traditional chamber ensemble, moving between classical & steel string Guitars, Cellos, Viola, Piano, Violin, Harp, Nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle) Percussion & close trademark use of harmony vocals.

Moulettes bring their independent spirit & experimental tendencies to the table: shades of Hildur Guðnadóttir, Scott Walker & Johnny Greenwood alongside the virtuosic exuberance of ensembles like the Danish String Quartet & Väsen; from long form moods that echo the drama of Shostakovich and the psychedelic landscapes of Ravel to the familiar & comforting patterns of UK & Irish roots music.

As they inhabit different spaces across the country – including their fifth performance at Glastonbury, they continue to be equally at home in a warehouse, concert hall, brewery, church or the backroom of a disc world tavern.

Players from The Strings Ensemble have been called to arrange & play on stage and in the studio with Nick Cave, Bonobo, Anchorsong, Alabaster de Plume, Floating points, Seasick Steve, The Levellers, Unthanks, Ayanna Witter-Johnson, Stopgap Dance & Arthur Brown, & written & performed scores for Theatre, Video games, TV & Film productions.
