The One Ensemble is a British musical group, based in
Glasgow. The project was initially conceived by
Volcano The Bear member Daniel Padden as a vehicle for his solo work, and their first three albums were released under the name
The One Ensemble Of Daniel Padden. Two studio albums in this mould were released, an eponymous debut on the Catsup Plate label in 2003 and
The Owl Of Fives on Textile Records in 2004. Although mostly recorded by Padden on his own, these albums featured contributions from other musicians including
Jeremy Barnes,
Alex Neilson and
David Keenan.
