THE OPEN WILD

Fusing alternative ambient music with classically-inspired strings improv

Meet the Band

The Open Wild are an ambient crossover alternative band, combining soulful vocals with classically inspired string improvisation.

Inspired by artists as varied as Rachmaninov, John Hopkins, Radiohead, and Niels Frahm, they draw on a wide variety of musical styles to create their signature sound.

Founded in Twickenham in 2024 by Rachel and Gabe, Elliot soon joined the band and added the first string parts into the mix at a series of local concerts.

For now, The Open Wild are focusing on their debut appearance at a UK Festival at Latitude this Summer, whilst recording and releasing their first album, with a working title of “Darkness and Light”.
