Estren is a Cornish word that translates as ‘stranger’.

Movement defines the human experience: we are moved when we feel our emotions, we join a movement when we want to enact change. It can signify action, evolution, development, exercise, flow, migration - both an undertaking and wandering.

This is a continuation of Far from the Tree; our journey further downstream from the roots and traditions from which we came. Our music here honours the importance of movement in our lives: the movement within spaces, between spaces, and the unsuppressed movement within our own hearts and minds.
