International violin virtuoso Oliver Lewis was hailed by the New Zealand media as ‘The fastest fiddler from the west. His phenomenal world record breaking speed in "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" is unmatched by any other violinist. Making his concerto debut as a child prodigy at the age of 12, he went on to win scholarships to the Purcell School of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and the Berne Conservatoire. He made his sensational European debut playing Ravel’s Tzigane and Bruch’s G minor Violin Concerto as soloist with the Bern Symphony Orchestra. Since then he has gone on to perform world wide as a soloist with many of the world’s greatest orchestras.

DAVE WILLIAMS
Dave studied classical piano from the tender age of 4, but after some years discovered his father’s guitar and turned to the dark side. After completing A levels and the customary degree in Art + Design, he became a professional musician. Dave began his musical career playing with best friend John Deacon, the bassist of Queen, in several different bands. When the magic of touring began to lose its charm Williams opened his own recording studio and became a songwriter for Warner/Chappell.
Dave became the Music Director for the long running international smash hit Spirit of the Dance, which has four touring shows in the US and two international touring groups. Formed in 1996, Spirit of the Dance is a foot-stomping international production featuring a spectacular display of traditional Irish culture that has thrilled audiences all over the world.
Williams’s own compositions have most recently been performed by Oliver Lewis and broadcast to over two billion people in Asia.

Influences
Once described as "Paganini meets Royksopp. An incredible mix of “State of the Art” electronic computer technology and the pure, inspiring tones of the acoustic classical violin.
DEVIATIONS PROJECT is a British electronic music group comprised of producer Dave Williams and international violin virtuoso Oliver Lewis.
Dave and Ollie first met in 2001 at Wembley Arena (London), for rehearsals of a Christmas special version of Spirit of the Dance. They soon became good friends and later in the year, decided to collaborate, mixing the beauty of classical melodies with modern textures and rhythms.
Deviations Project returns with their second album in as many years, the Ivory Bow. World renowned producer Dave Williams and violin virtuoso Oliver Lewis team up once again to create a fury of excitement and aesthetics. Continuing to digress from the norm and explore the inner depths of famed classical compositions in a way never before experienced, Deviations Project holds true to their name, providing a genre and sound they can call their own. The track 'Boléro' is thought to be the sexiest version ever recorded.
