The band was formed with the core members, Helena MacGilp and Chris Elmes, who have 20 years of experience in many styles of music from Europe to the Middle East, and from the present back to the medieval period. They are based in Edinburgh. Chris Elmes is director of Gaita, Scotland’s leading medieval music ensemble, formed in 2001. Helena MacGilp has been a core member of Gaita for many years and, together with Chris Elmes, formed Duo Hyperborea playing music from the Turkish and Middle Eastern classical and folk traditions, along with Balkan folk.
