This is an ever developing venture as technology allows the acoustic sound of the violin to come alive electronically without compromises.

New Movement Ensemble is a collective of musicians and friends who have spent the last decade creating music and challenging each other to express themselves honestly. Led by bassist and composer Matt Gedrych (Emma-Jean Thrackray, Neue Grafik and KenHoon Band)
Their album "Never far from home" is collection of songs that speaks about Matt Gedrych's journey of moving to London and the stories that involves; following your dreams, building a family and friendships, growing up, understanding the effort that that needs, and of course, making a home. This album was recorded over 3 days in Total Refreshment Centre in March 2018. Though it almost been a decade since they moved to London and several years since wrote these songs, it still feels relevant to release these stories into the world, as it shows how far they've come. Welcome to the world of New Movement Ensemble, this is only the beginning.
